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. 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

  2. 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

    • 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. 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';…

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

GAC operates in the transportation and logistics sector with a focus on shipping and marine services. The business model is B2B, serving global clients with specialized logistics and marine solutions. The company maintains regional offices with named executives, indicating structured governance and regional management. Certifications such as ISO 27001 and QHSSE compliance enhance its credibility. The website content and structure support a strong brand presence and market leadership. The use of multiple analytics and marketing tools suggests active engagement in digital marketing and customer insights. The absence of explicit domain registration data is unusual but does not detract from the overall business credibility given the extensive contact information and professional presentation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a strong security posture with HTTPS enabled and multiple security headers implemented, including Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security. Consent management is handled via OneTrust, indicating GDPR compliance efforts. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analysis. However, the site lacks a published incident response contact or vulnerability disclosure policy, which are recommended best practices for enterprise security transparency. The security score is high but could be improved by adding explicit incident response information and a security.txt file. Overall, the site is secure for business users and customers.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated incident response contact or security email to improve transparency and readiness.
  2. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance data retention policy disclosures to align with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and improve user trust.
  5. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data to ensure domain registration transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, Mapbox GL JS for mapping features, and integrates Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity for user behavior analysis. Consent management is implemented via OneTrust, supporting privacy compliance. The site loads asynchronously loaded scripts to optimize performance. Mobile optimization and accessibility are well addressed. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not evident from the data. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. The technical implementation supports a professional and scalable web presence suitable for a global enterprise.
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.
