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

Britannia P&I Club is a well-established mutual marine insurance provider, specializing in Protection & Indemnity insurance for the maritime industry. With a history dating back to 1855, it holds a strong market position as a leader within the International Group of P&I Clubs. The website clearly targets shipowners, operators, charterers, and maritime professionals, offering a comprehensive range of insurance and loss prevention services. The business model focuses on underwriting, claims handling, and additional insurances tailored to the shipping sector. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using modern frameworks like Bootstrap 5 and jQuery, with SEO optimization via Yoast and analytics through Google Analytics and Tag Manager. Hosting appears to be with UKFast, and the site demonstrates good mobile responsiveness and user experience. Security measures include HTTPS, domain transfer protections, and cookie consent mechanisms, although DNSSEC is not enabled and some security headers could be improved. The security posture is solid but could be enhanced by implementing DNSSEC, a Content-Security-Policy header, and publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies and GDPR consent mechanisms. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious content were detected, and the site maintains a professional and trustworthy online presence. Overall, Britannia P&I Club’s website reflects a mature digital infrastructure supporting a reputable maritime insurance business. Strategic recommendations include strengthening DNS security, enhancing security headers, and formalizing incident response and vulnerability disclosure processes to further improve trust and resilience.

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. 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 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. 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

Britannia P&I Club operates in the transportation sector, specifically maritime insurance, with a large organizational size and a long history. Its competitive advantage lies in its legacy, financial strength, and comprehensive service offerings. The business model is mutual insurance, serving a niche but global maritime market. Revenue streams likely include membership fees, underwriting premiums, and ancillary insurance products. The target customer segment includes shipowners, operators, and charterers worldwide. The company maintains partnerships with industry bodies and related organizations, enhancing its market presence. Growth indicators include active publication of reports, webinars, and loss prevention initiatives. The website supports a strong partnership ecosystem with entities like Tindall Riley and IG P&I.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and domain registration protections are in place. The use of Wordfence and GDPR compliance plugins indicates attention to security and privacy. However, the absence of DNSSEC and Content-Security-Policy headers represents gaps that could expose the site to DNS spoofing and cross-site scripting risks. No incident response or abuse contact information is publicly available, which could delay handling of security incidents. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but could be improved with additional controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement a robust Content-Security-Policy header to mitigate XSS and related attacks.
  3. Publish a clear vulnerability disclosure and incident response policy with dedicated contact channels.
  4. Review and ensure all recommended security headers (X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy) are set.
  5. Maintain regular security audits and update third-party plugins to minimize vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a mature and widely supported technology stack centered on WordPress with Bootstrap and jQuery for frontend responsiveness and interactivity. SEO is enhanced by Yoast plugin, and analytics are managed via Google Analytics and Tag Manager. Hosting is likely provided by UKFast, a reputable UK hosting provider. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. Accessibility features are basic but present. The site is mobile optimized and provides a good user experience. Some technical debt is indicated by missing advanced security headers and lack of DNSSEC. The site uses multiple external CDNs for fonts and scripts, which is standard practice but requires monitoring for supply chain risks.
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.
