DESMI Ocean Guard is a specialized company focused on the development, manufacturing, sales, and servicing of IMO and USCG certified Ballast Water Management Systems, targeting maritime industry professionals and ship operators. The company operates under the DESMI Group umbrella and has a well-established market presence since 2009. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with good content quality and clear messaging about their core business offerings. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including Google Tag Manager, Cookiebot for consent management, and Matomo for analytics, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enabled and bot protection via reCAPTCHA, though some security headers and policies could be improved. Privacy compliance is partially addressed with cookie consent but lacks visible privacy policy and terms of service pages. Overall, the website and domain registration data suggest a legitimate and trustworthy business with room for enhancements in privacy and security transparency.

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.

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.

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

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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Business context
Business profile
The company holds a strong position in the ballast water management sector, leveraging certifications such as IMO and USCG to validate product quality and compliance. Their business model centers on manufacturing and servicing specialized marine equipment, catering to a niche but critical segment of the maritime industry. The website's integration of multiple advertising and analytics platforms suggests active marketing and customer engagement strategies. However, the absence of explicit contact information and legal policies on the website may limit direct customer interaction and trust-building. The company benefits from a long domain history and consistent registration data, reinforcing its credibility. Strategic partnerships or subsidiaries were not identified from the provided data.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS enforced and use of reCAPTCHA to mitigate automated abuse. Cookie consent is managed through a reputable third-party service (Cookiebot), supporting GDPR compliance efforts. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces the overall security hardening. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is published, which could hinder transparency and responsiveness in case of security incidents. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. The security score reflects these strengths and gaps, recommending improvements in header implementation and policy publication.
Recommendations
Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the website footer or main navigation.
Implement and verify security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
Add a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
Provide clear contact information including company emails and phone numbers to improve customer trust and support.
Enable DNSSEC on the domain to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.

Technical notes
Notes
The website uses a modern tech stack with HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, supported by third-party services such as Google Tag Manager, Cookiebot, Matomo Analytics, and Google reCAPTCHA. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good SEO metadata including Open Graph tags. Hosting details are limited but DNS servers indicate a stable setup. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and preloading of fonts. Accessibility features are basic but present, with focus-visible outlines and semantic HTML elements. No CMS was explicitly detected. The site could benefit from enhanced security headers and improved privacy policy integration to reduce technical debt and compliance 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.
