Risk levelMedium

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

Aquila Harbor Cranes operates as a specialized online platform connecting terminal equipment owners and buyers worldwide, focusing on used harbor cranes and port equipment. With over a decade of experience, the company offers a curated marketplace and brokerage services to facilitate efficient equipment sourcing for harbors. The website demonstrates a professional digital presence with clear business information, contact channels, and social media engagement. Technically, the site leverages modern web technologies and tracking tools, hosted on a reliable infrastructure with good mobile optimization and performance. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, though some security headers and explicit policies could be improved. The absence of WHOIS domain registration data is a notable concern, suggesting a need for further verification of domain legitimacy. Overall, the business appears credible and well-positioned within the transportation equipment sector, but domain registration inconsistencies warrant caution.

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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  2. 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 company targets a niche market of harbor operators and terminal equipment buyers, providing a valuable service in a specialized industrial sector. Its business model combines e-commerce listings with brokerage and consultation services, supported by a decade of industry knowledge. The presence of a company registration number and multiple partner links enhances credibility. The platform's integration with Machinio and partnerships with credit reporting and machinery listing services indicate a robust ecosystem. Growth potential lies in expanding equipment categories and geographic reach. However, the lack of transparent domain registration data could impact trust among new customers and partners.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS encryption and integrates cookie consent compliant with GDPR, reflecting a baseline of privacy and security awareness. Use of Rollbar for error monitoring and absence of exposed sensitive data are positive indicators. However, the site lacks explicit security policies, incident response information, and security headers that could mitigate common web threats. No vulnerability disclosures or security.txt files are present, limiting transparency for security researchers. The missing WHOIS data raises questions about domain ownership and control, which is a critical security and trust factor. Enhancing security documentation and domain registration transparency would strengthen the overall security posture.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to harden the website against common attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Verify and update domain WHOIS registration information to ensure legitimacy and improve trust with users and partners.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and maintain GDPR compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Machinio ecommerce platform, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries such as Owl Carousel and jQuery UI for UI components. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing, with Rollbar providing error monitoring. Media assets are hosted on Amazon S3, ensuring reliable content delivery. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and includes accessibility features, though these could be enhanced. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in loading times and resource management. The absence of a detected CMS suggests a custom or proprietary platform. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and functional user experience but could benefit from additional security and performance tuning.
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.
