Crewplanet is an established online platform specializing in crewing and crew management services for the maritime industry. It facilitates job matching by allowing seamen to submit CVs and receive job offers from shipowners and crewing agencies. The platform boasts a significant user base with over 136,000 registered seamen, indicating a strong market presence in the transportation sector. The website is professionally designed with clear navigation and relevant content targeted at maritime professionals and employers. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies including jQuery, Bootstrap, and integrates analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager and Yandex Metrika. Security is adequately addressed with HTTPS enforcement and error monitoring via Sentry, though some security headers and policies are missing. Privacy compliance is weak due to the absence of visible privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the site is functional, trustworthy, and serves its business purpose effectively.

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.

Priority findings

11 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.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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';…

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

Crewplanet operates in the maritime transportation sector, providing a digital marketplace for seamen and employers. Its business model centers on facilitating crew recruitment and management through an online platform. The company leverages a large user base and offers services including CV submission, job vacancy listings, and crewing software solutions. The presence of testimonials and detailed job offers with salary information enhances credibility. The platform's partnerships and integrations with social media and analytics services support marketing and user engagement. However, the lack of explicit contact details and privacy policies may limit trust for some users. The company appears to be medium-sized with a consistent brand and a focused target audience of maritime professionals.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enabled and use of Sentry for error monitoring, which helps in proactive incident detection. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security reduces the overall security hardening. No explicit security policies or incident response contacts are provided, which could hinder effective communication during security events. The use of third-party analytics and tracking scripts introduces privacy considerations that are not fully addressed due to missing cookie consent mechanisms. There are no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data in the analyzed content. Enhancing security headers, publishing security policies, and implementing cookie consent would improve the security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies prominently on the website to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Provide clear contact information for security incidents, including dedicated security or abuse email addresses.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Introduce a cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and inform users about data collection.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using a combination of jQuery and Bootstrap, with the Yii PHP framework implied by CSS naming conventions. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Yandex Metrika for analytics and tracking. The site loads asynchronously loaded scripts and uses modern fonts from Google Fonts. Performance is moderate with some deferred loading of images and scripts. Mobile optimization is basic but functional. Accessibility features are minimal but present through tooltips and ARIA attributes. SEO is supported by meta tags and Open Graph data, enhancing social media sharing. There is no detected CMS branding, suggesting a custom or framework-based solution. Hosting details are not explicit, but the use of HTTPS and CDN-hosted scripts indicates a professionally managed infrastructure.
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.
