Low risk. 2 critical or high findings in Security headers.

Security score

81/100

Risk levelLow

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

Bath Iron Works is a full-service shipyard specializing in the design, construction, and support of complex surface combatants for the U.S. Navy. As a subsidiary of General Dynamics Marine Systems, it holds a significant position in the defense and transportation sectors, serving government and military clients. The website reflects a professional corporate presence with consistent branding and a focus on its core shipbuilding services. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern JavaScript frameworks and includes SEO and cookie consent tools, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, but lacks explicit security headers and published security policies. The absence of WHOIS registration data is a notable concern, though the website content and social media presence strongly support legitimacy. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced transparency 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

2 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.

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

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

Bath Iron Works operates in the defense manufacturing sector, focusing on naval shipbuilding for the U.S. Navy. Its business model centers on government contracting and specialized manufacturing services. The company benefits from its affiliation with General Dynamics, a major defense contractor, which strengthens its market position and trustworthiness. The website targets government and military stakeholders, with no direct consumer engagement. The digital presence includes social media channels for corporate communications and brand reinforcement. Growth indicators are not explicit on the site, but the enterprise scale and parent company relationship suggest stability and established operations. No direct revenue streams or e-commerce functions are present on the website. The partnership ecosystem includes social media platforms and likely internal General Dynamics networks.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS enforced and a cookie consent mechanism via Cookiebot, supporting privacy compliance. However, it lacks visible security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options, which are recommended best practices to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure information is published, limiting transparency and preparedness signals. The absence of WHOIS data raises questions about domain registration legitimacy, though this may be due to privacy protection or data source limitations. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be improved by publishing security documentation and implementing additional HTTP security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Add HTTP security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance security posture.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to demonstrate preparedness and transparency.
  4. Investigate and resolve the absence of WHOIS registration data to ensure domain legitimacy and trustworthiness.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and provide clear contact information on the website to improve user experience and credibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with integration of modern JavaScript libraries including React. SEO is managed via Yoast SEO plugin, and cookie consent is handled by Cookiebot, indicating attention to privacy compliance. The site loads external scripts from trusted domains such as LinkedIn and Fathom Analytics for tracking and marketing purposes. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected, and mobile optimization is good. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. No hosting provider information was detected. The technical stack is modern and appropriate for a corporate enterprise site, but there is room for improvement in security headers and documentation.
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.
