Risk levelHigh

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

APM SA is a Cameroonian maritime transport and logistics company established in 2017, with strategic offices in Douala, Yaoundé, and Kribi. The company positions itself as a reliable partner offering specialized services including maritime agency, stevedoring, customs operations, and transport. The website reflects a professional business presence with clear service offerings and leadership messaging. Technically, the site is built on WordPress using Elementor and Astra theme, hosted on MTN NS infrastructure. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but lacks security headers and has an expired domain, which poses risks. Privacy compliance is weak due to absence of privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the website is functional and professional but requires urgent domain renewal and enhanced security and privacy measures.

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

11 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
  2. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • Critical

      Domain Expired

      Domain expired 89 days ago

      What to do: Renew domain registration immediately

  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
  4. 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

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 · found on this site
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired · found on this site
  • 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

APM SA holds a strong market position in Cameroon's maritime logistics sector, evidenced by multiple awards as the best stevedoring agent at the Port of Douala. Their business model focuses on providing comprehensive maritime and logistics services to businesses in Cameroon. The company targets commercial clients needing efficient supply chain solutions. The website content and service descriptions indicate a medium-sized enterprise with a focus on quality and customer service. The lack of detailed contact emails and privacy policies suggests room for improvement in customer engagement and regulatory compliance. No evident partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the website content.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication, which is a fundamental security measure. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. The expired domain status is a significant risk factor that could lead to service disruption or domain hijacking. No evidence of vulnerability disclosures or incident response policies was found, indicating limited security maturity. The lack of privacy and cookie policies also suggests non-compliance with GDPR and related regulations. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires immediate attention to domain renewal and implementation of security best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Renew the domain registration immediately to maintain business continuity and trust.
  2. Implement essential security headers to protect against common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and enhance user trust.
  4. Establish and communicate an incident response plan and contact channels for security issues.
  5. Enhance contact information visibility by adding verified company emails and phone numbers.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using the Elementor page builder and Astra theme, which supports responsive design and good user experience. The use of jQuery and Swiper.js indicates interactive elements and slideshows. Hosting is provided by MTN NS with local nameservers, aligning with the company's Cameroonian base. Performance appears moderate with no major issues detected, though no explicit performance metrics were available. Accessibility and SEO optimizations are basic, with room for improvement in metadata completeness and ARIA attributes. The site lacks advanced analytics or tracking tools, indicating minimal data collection. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from modernization and enhanced SEO and accessibility features.
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.
