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

Freight and Transit Company Limited (FTL) is a well-established logistics service provider founded in 1994, operating primarily in Mauritius, Madagascar, and South Africa. The company offers a comprehensive range of logistics services including air and sea freight, customs clearing, warehousing, project cargo management, and handling of perishable and dangerous cargo. Their website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, targeting businesses requiring reliable logistics solutions in the Indian Ocean and African regions. Technically, the website is built on Drupal 9 and incorporates modern web technologies such as Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and Google reCAPTCHA to enhance user experience and security. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, with a moderate performance profile. Security-wise, the website enforces HTTPS and uses CAPTCHA to protect forms, but lacks some security headers and explicit security policies. The WHOIS data is unavailable due to privacy protection, which is common but reduces transparency. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional, with room for improvement in privacy compliance and security documentation.

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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

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

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • 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

  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

  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"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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';…

  4. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

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

FTL positions itself as a reliable logistics partner with nearly three decades of experience, serving clients across multiple countries in the region. Their business model focuses on providing end-to-end logistics solutions, leveraging local presence and expertise in regulatory frameworks. The company’s digital presence supports client engagement through a client portal and detailed service descriptions. While no direct revenue or partnership data is disclosed, the presence of strategic locations and a comprehensive service portfolio indicates a medium-sized enterprise with growth potential. The company maintains a basic marketing ecosystem with Google and Facebook tracking but lacks advanced transparency in privacy and security disclosures.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforcement and CAPTCHA integration to prevent spam. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a gap that could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of published incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies suggests limited transparency in security governance. GDPR compliance is partially addressed through privacy notices, but cookie consent mechanisms are missing, which could be a compliance risk. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by adopting additional best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen web security.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner to comply fully with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Publish explicit Terms of Service and Incident Response policy pages to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Consider creating a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Regularly review and update WHOIS information to improve domain transparency and trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 9, a modern and widely used CMS, ensuring a solid foundation for content management and security updates. It integrates several third-party libraries and services such as Swiper.js for sliders, AOS for animations, Isotope for layout, and Select2 for enhanced form controls. Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel are used for user tracking and marketing analytics. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices including canonical links and meta tags. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by multiple CSS files and external scripts. There is no indication of outdated or vulnerable libraries in the provided HTML. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and functional website with opportunities for performance optimization.
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.
