0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

Alliance verte operates as the leading environmental certification program for the North American maritime industry, focusing on voluntary participation to improve environmental performance across key areas such as biodiversity, air, water, and soil quality. The organization has a strong market position supported by a long-established domain and a collaborative approach involving industry, government, academia, and environmental groups. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear navigation and relevant content targeting maritime stakeholders. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies including JavaScript and CSS, with Google Tag Manager for analytics and a cookie consent mechanism ensuring GDPR compliance. Hosting is provided by GoDaddy with domain privacy protection, which is justified for this type of entity. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced, though improvements could be made by enabling DNSSEC and adding security headers. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious content were detected.

This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, LinkedIn, YouTube

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The business model centers on a voluntary certification program that requires participants to annually measure and verify their environmental performance, publish results, and commit to continuous improvement. The program is supported by a network of maritime associations and partners offering products and services to participants. The organization hosts an annual conference, GreenTech, which serves as a key industry event. The website's external links and partnerships with Green Marine Europe and other entities indicate a growing international scope. The target audience includes maritime companies, environmental groups, government agencies, and academia. The domain age and WHOIS data support the legitimacy and maturity of the organization.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR requirements. However, no advanced security headers were detected, and DNSSEC is not enabled, which could improve domain security. There is no published security policy or incident response contact information, nor a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were found. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a non-commercial informational site but could be enhanced to align with best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a security policy and provide incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and improve compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end stack with JavaScript and CSS, and integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO meta tags and Open Graph data for social sharing. Hosting is via GoDaddy with domaincontrol.com nameservers. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected. Accessibility features are basic but present. The site uses a third-party cookie consent solution from TermsFeed, ensuring compliance with cookie regulations. No CMS or backend platform was explicitly detected. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and performance optimizations.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
