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

Faroe Ship is a well-established shipping and logistics company based in the Faroe Islands, with a history dating back to 1919. The company serves as a key regional transport hub in the North Atlantic, offering a comprehensive range of services including liner shipping, terminal operations, warehousing, cold storage, trucking, and special transports. Their website reflects a mature digital presence with clear service descriptions, customer portals, and updated news sections, positioning them as a leading logistics provider in their region. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies such as htmx and hyperscript for interactivity, integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics, and uses CookieHub for cookie consent management. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, indicating a strong digital maturity. The domain is secured with HTTPS, and domain registration details align with the company’s claims, enhancing trustworthiness. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates good practices including HTTPS enforcement, domain status protections, and cookie consent mechanisms. However, there is room for improvement by enabling DNSSEC, publishing explicit security policies, and adding a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Overall, Faroe Ship’s website presents a professional, secure, and compliant digital front that supports their business operations effectively. The risk level is low, with recommendations focused on enhancing DNS security and formalizing security policies to further strengthen their security posture.

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

Faroe Ship holds a strong market position as a leading shipping and logistics provider in the Faroe Islands, leveraging its long history and regional importance. Their business model centers on providing comprehensive transport and logistics solutions, including export/import liner services, warehousing, cold storage, and trucking. The company targets regional and international customers requiring reliable logistics in the North Atlantic. The presence of a customer portal and detailed service offerings suggests a focus on customer service and operational efficiency. Partnerships with companies like Eimskip indicate a collaborative ecosystem enhancing service reach. The company’s digital presence and news updates reflect active engagement and growth orientation.

Security posture

The website’s security posture is solid, with HTTPS enabled and domain registration protections in place. The use of reputable registrars and absence of privacy protection in WHOIS data support transparency and trust. Cookie consent is managed properly, and no sensitive data leaks were found. However, the absence of DNSSEC and explicit security policies indicates areas for improvement. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is published, which could be enhanced to improve security readiness and transparency. Overall, the site is secure for users and business operations but would benefit from formalized security governance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and incident response procedures.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosures.
  4. Implement additional security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and tracking tools to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Notes

The website is built using modern web standards with HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript frameworks including htmx and hyperscript for dynamic content. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics, and CookieHub manages cookie consent, indicating compliance with privacy regulations. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices evident from meta tags and structured navigation. The CMS appears to be Umbraco, a robust enterprise CMS. Performance is fast with deferred script loading and service worker registration for offline capabilities. The technical infrastructure supports a professional and user-friendly experience with scope for enhanced 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.
