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

CTS GROUP operates in the transportation and logistics sector with a full-service business model focused on pallet transport and warehousing. Their market positioning is strengthened by extensive European country coverage and a diversified service portfolio. The company leverages digital marketing tools such as HubSpot and Google Tag Manager to engage customers and track performance. The presence of customer feedback widgets and social media integration indicates an active engagement strategy. The business model is B2B focused, serving companies needing logistics solutions with a personal touch. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified, suggesting an independent operation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers present. Use of reCAPTCHA and security plugins is evident, reducing risk of automated abuse. However, no explicit security policy or incident response information is published, which could be improved to enhance transparency and preparedness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The extensive use of third-party scripts and tracking pixels requires ongoing monitoring to mitigate supply chain risks. Overall, the security maturity is solid but could benefit from formalized policies and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and controls.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance with standards such as WCAG.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins for security vulnerabilities.
  5. Provide incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Bootstrap framework and uses a modern tech stack including jQuery, Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, HubSpot, and WP Rocket for performance optimization. Multilingual support is enabled via WPML. The site is mobile optimized with good SEO practices including meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance is moderate with caching and lazy loading implemented. Hosting provider details are not explicit. Technical debt appears low, but continuous updates and security audits are recommended to maintain stability and security.
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.
