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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • Critical

      DNS Resolution Failed

      Unable to resolve domain A records

      What to do: Verify domain is properly configured and not expired

    • High

      Domain Expires Soon

      Domain expires in 19 days

      What to do: Renew domain registration before expiration

  2. 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Freightliner operates in the transportation sector with a focus on rail freight logistics across the UK. Its business model integrates owned rail assets, terminals, and road transport to provide end-to-end intermodal solutions. The company benefits from a strong brand presence, strategic partnerships (e.g., container sales), and a parent company relationship with CMA CGM Group. The website highlights sustainability initiatives and career opportunities, indicating growth and investment in corporate responsibility and talent development. The target customers are businesses requiring efficient and sustainable freight solutions. The company leverages digital marketing tools and analytics to optimize user engagement and service delivery.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no visible exposure of sensitive data. Cookie consent is actively managed, reflecting GDPR compliance. However, explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not evident and should be implemented to enhance protection against common web attacks. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are published, which could be improved to foster transparency and readiness. The use of reputable third-party analytics and consent management tools indicates a mature approach to privacy and security. Overall, the security posture is strong but can benefit from additional hardening and formal incident response documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to provide clear vulnerability disclosure and incident response contacts.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance transparency by adding explicit security and privacy contact information on the website.
  5. Continue investing in privacy compliance and user consent mechanisms to maintain GDPR alignment.

Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed by optimizing scripts and assets.

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.
