Drake Towage is a specialized marine contracting company based in the United Kingdom, offering expert services including dredging, marine piling, pontoon hire, and mooring maintenance. The company targets marine industry clients and businesses requiring specialized marine infrastructure services. The website is built on WordPress using the Divi theme and incorporates SEO best practices via the Yoast SEO plugin, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. The site is mobile-optimized and presents a professional design with clear navigation, supporting a positive user experience.
From a security perspective, the website employs HTTPS with a good SSL configuration and includes a cookie consent mechanism, demonstrating awareness of privacy compliance requirements. However, the absence of explicit privacy and terms of service pages, lack of security headers, and missing WHOIS data reduce the overall security posture and trustworthiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected, but improvements are recommended to enhance security and compliance.
Overall, the website is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced transparency in business and privacy information, improved security headers, and clearer contact details. These enhancements would strengthen trust and compliance, supporting better risk management and customer confidence.

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.

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
Business profile
Drake Towage operates in a niche segment of the transportation sector, focusing on marine contracting services. The business model centers on providing specialized marine infrastructure solutions to clients in the marine and maritime industries. The website content suggests a small-sized company with a focused service offering. The company leverages WordPress and Divi for its digital presence, indicating a cost-effective and flexible approach to web management. The lack of detailed business registration or certification information on the site limits deeper insights into company scale or partnerships. The absence of social media links or external partnerships on the site suggests a primarily direct client engagement model. Growth indicators and revenue streams are not publicly disclosed, limiting comprehensive business intelligence analysis.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security posture with HTTPS enabled and a cookie consent banner indicating GDPR awareness. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents a missed opportunity to harden the site against common web attacks. The absence of a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy reduces transparency and incident response readiness. No contact information for security incidents or data protection officers was found, which is a compliance gap under GDPR and related regulations. The WHOIS data is unavailable for the www subdomain, which raises questions about domain registration transparency. Overall, while no critical vulnerabilities were detected, the site would benefit from enhanced security controls and compliance documentation.
Recommendations
Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the homepage.
Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and incident reporting.
Provide clear and verified contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security-related inquiries.
Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on WordPress CMS with the Divi theme and uses the Yoast SEO plugin, indicating a modern and widely supported technology stack. The site loads external resources from Google Fonts and includes jQuery for scripting. Performance is moderate with standard CSS and JavaScript assets loaded. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design elements and mobile menu toggles implemented. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO optimization is supported by meta tags, Open Graph data, and JSON-LD structured data. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the provided data. There is no evidence of advanced caching or CDN usage beyond standard WordPress caching plugins. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could be enhanced with performance optimization and stronger security configurations.
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.
