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

Eimskip is a prominent Icelandic transportation company specializing in freight forwarding and logistics services across the North Atlantic and globally. The company offers a comprehensive range of services including liner shipping, warehousing, global forwarding by sea, air, and road, trucking, terminal operations, and customs handling. Their market position is strong in the North Atlantic region with a global network and subsidiaries such as Ship-log Thailand and Faroe Ship. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with detailed business and investor information. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, CookieHub for cookie consent, and client-side libraries like htmx and hyperscript. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and structured navigation. Performance is moderate with good user experience and fast loading images. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and implements cookie consent mechanisms, but lacks explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain is a concern, potentially indicating privacy protection or registration inconsistencies, which slightly lowers the trust score. Overall, the website is safe, professional, and business-focused with no adult or questionable content. The main risk lies in the incomplete WHOIS information, which should be investigated further to confirm domain legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing incident response contacts, and implementing a security.txt file for vulnerability 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

3 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. 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

  3. 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

Eimskip operates in the transportation sector with a focus on freight forwarding and logistics in the North Atlantic and worldwide. Their business model leverages a global network of offices and subsidiaries to provide integrated door-to-door logistics solutions. The company targets businesses requiring efficient shipping, warehousing, and distribution services. Their competitive advantage includes specialized reefer forwarding and a strong presence in Iceland and surrounding regions. The website indicates active investor relations and corporate governance, suggesting a mature and transparent business. Partnerships with subsidiaries like Faroe Ship expand their market reach. Growth indicators include recent appointments of managing directors and new vessel contracts. The company maintains a comprehensive service portfolio and a customer portal for enhanced client engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with mandatory HTTPS encryption and cookie consent mechanisms in place. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces the overall security hardening. No signs of vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive information were found. The site uses modern analytics and tracking scripts responsibly with privacy compliance. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure information are not publicly available, which is a gap in security readiness. The security culture is partially evidenced by the presence of a whistleblower policy. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a corporate website but could be improved with additional headers and transparency on incident handling.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security.txt file and provide clear incident response contact information to improve vulnerability disclosure and response readiness.
  3. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced via dependencies.
  4. Enhance transparency and trust by providing more detailed business registration and domain ownership information publicly or via WHOIS.
  5. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies regularly to ensure ongoing GDPR and global privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with modern front-end technologies including htmx and hyperscript for dynamic interactions, and uses Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. CookieHub is integrated for cookie consent management. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive images and accessible navigation. Performance is moderate with deferred script loading and service worker registration for offline capabilities. No CMS or hosting provider details are explicitly detected. The site uses well-structured HTML5 with proper meta tags for SEO and social sharing (Open Graph). Technical risks include missing security headers and reliance on multiple third-party scripts which require monitoring for vulnerabilities.
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.
