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

FRS Shipmanagement is a specialized maritime service provider focused on ferry ship management, based in Limassol, Cyprus, and operating as a division of the well-established FRS Group. The company offers comprehensive services including crewing, technical maintenance, administration, and consulting tailored to the ferry industry. Their market position is that of a trusted partner leveraging over 150 years of group experience and direct shipowner insights. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS with modern web standards, good accessibility, and GDPR-compliant privacy and cookie policies. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms, though some security headers are missing and incident response/contact security policies are not published. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and well-structured, supporting a small-sized business with a clear niche in transportation. WHOIS data is unavailable due to EURid privacy policies, but no suspicious indicators are present. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing security policies, and providing incident response contacts to improve trust and compliance.

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

5 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

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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

  2. 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';…

  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 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

The company operates in the transportation sector, specifically ferry ship management, serving shipowners and ferry operators. Its competitive advantage lies in its affiliation with the FRS Group and deep industry expertise. The business model is service-oriented, focusing on crewing, technical, administrative, and consulting solutions. The website targets maritime professionals and shipowners seeking reliable ferry management. Growth indicators include a comprehensive service portfolio and a professional web presence. The partnership ecosystem includes the parent FRS Group. The company maintains a consistent brand and professional content, supporting credibility and market trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and a robust cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR. However, the absence of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No incident response or security policy pages are published, limiting transparency. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of Google Tag Manager and Analytics is disclosed with appropriate cookie categorization. Overall, the security maturity is good but can be improved by adding security headers and incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  2. Add standard security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information for security issues (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email).
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools for vulnerabilities and privacy compliance.
  5. Enhance WHOIS transparency if possible or provide domain registration details on the website for trust.

Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing tags, showing modern digital marketing integration.

No broken elements or errors were detected in the HTML. The site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, ensuring secure communications. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional and user-friendly experience with room for security header improvements.
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.
