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

8 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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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"

      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

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 · found on this site
  • 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

The company targets clients and carriers in the transport and logistics industry, positioning itself as a reliable partner with ISO certifications and a broad service portfolio. The business model focuses on freight forwarding and carrier cooperation, with a medium-sized operational scale across several European countries. The website content and certifications indicate a strong market position and trustworthiness. Marketing tools and tracking services are used moderately to support business growth and customer engagement. The absence of direct contact emails and phone numbers suggests a preference for contact via web forms, which may impact immediate accessibility but maintains privacy.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enforcement, presence of key security headers, and use of reCAPTCHA to protect forms from abuse. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. However, the lack of published security policies, incident response information, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates room for improvement in transparency and readiness. Compliance with GDPR is partially indicated by the cookie consent mechanism but lacks a detailed privacy policy. Overall, the security maturity is solid but could be enhanced with additional documentation and disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy detailing GDPR compliance and data handling practices.
  2. Add terms of service and incident response policies to improve transparency and user trust.
  3. Implement a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve security posture.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to comply with best practices and broaden user inclusivity.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and marketing tools to mitigate potential security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using the Yootheme framework and UIkit for UI components. It employs modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery and integrates multiple marketing and analytics platforms such as Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, HubSpot, and Facebook Pixel. The site uses reCAPTCHA for form protection and has a cookie consent banner compliant with GDPR requirements. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility. The technical infrastructure is well-maintained with proper security headers and HTTPS configuration. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and to document security and privacy policies more explicitly.
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.
