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

Cargoson OÜ operates a professional B2B transport management software platform targeting manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers primarily in Europe. The company offers a multi-carrier shipping solution that integrates with various ERP and eCommerce platforms, providing shipment tracking, freight rate management, and CO2 emission calculations. The website is well-designed, mobile-optimized, and rich in content, including customer testimonials and industry awards, positioning Cargoson as a reputable player in the transportation software market. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies and analytics tools such as New Relic, Microsoft Clarity, and Google Tag Manager, ensuring good performance and user experience. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, though explicit security policies and incident response information are absent.

Overall, Cargoson presents a credible and professional digital presence with room for enhanced transparency in security disclosures.

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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Cargoson targets the European manufacturing, wholesale, and retail sectors with a SaaS transport management solution that emphasizes carrier neutrality and user control over freight rates. The company differentiates itself by offering extensive carrier integrations and a user-friendly interface, supported by multiple industry awards and positive customer testimonials. Revenue streams likely include subscription plans ranging from retail to corporation levels, with custom solutions available.

Growth indicators include multilingual support, mobile applications, and continuous feature expansion such as CO2 footprint calculation. The company maintains a strong online presence with active social media channels and a regularly updated blog, supporting customer engagement and thought leadership.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of security monitoring tools like New Relic. Cookie consent mechanisms comply with privacy regulations, and no sensitive data is exposed in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and a security.txt file indicates gaps in transparency and readiness for vulnerability disclosure. The missing WHOIS data for the domain is a concern that could indicate privacy protection or registration issues, impacting domain trustworthiness. Overall, the security measures are adequate for a SaaS platform, but improvements in public security documentation and domain registration transparency are recommended.

Recommendations

  1. Publish explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance browser security.
  2. Create and publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Implement and publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to improve domain trust and legitimacy.
  5. Continue enhancing privacy compliance by detailing data retention policies and user rights in privacy documentation.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web standards including HTML5 and JavaScript, leveraging frameworks like Bootstrap and Turbo for responsive design and navigation. It integrates multiple third-party analytics and monitoring services such as New Relic, Microsoft Clarity, and Google Tag Manager, indicating a focus on performance and user behavior insights. Hosting appears to be via Cloudflare, providing CDN and security benefits. The site is mobile-optimized with dedicated iOS and Android applications. Performance is fast with efficient resource loading and lazy loading of images. Technical debt is minimal, but opportunities exist to enhance security headers and improve public security documentation to reduce risk exposure.
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.
