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

Getting the Market is a specialized digital marketing agency focused on the maritime, offshore, shipbuilding, transport, and logistics industries. Established since 2011, the company offers a range of services including web development, content creation, online marketing, branding, employer branding, and strategic consulting. The agency has a solid market position with over 100 clients in its niche sectors, primarily operating out of the Netherlands. Their website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, targeting maritime and logistics businesses seeking digital marketing expertise. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Salient theme and WPBakery page builder, enhanced with SEO and analytics tools such as Yoast SEO, Google Tag Manager, and LinkedIn Insight. The site is mobile-optimized and employs modern web technologies, ensuring good performance and user experience. Hosting is provided by Argeweb, as indicated by the domain's nameservers. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and integrates Google reCAPTCHA for form protection. Cookie consent is managed via the Complianz GDPR plugin, indicating compliance with privacy regulations. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and additional security headers could be implemented to strengthen the security posture further. No critical vulnerabilities or WAF blocks were detected. Overall, the website demonstrates a high level of professionalism, security awareness, and compliance with privacy standards. The domain registration details align well with the business history, supporting the legitimacy of the entity. Strategic recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, enhancing security headers, and continuous monitoring of third-party scripts to maintain security and trust.

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

3 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.

    • 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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. 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

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

Business profile

Getting the Market operates as a niche digital marketing agency serving maritime and logistics sectors, leveraging deep industry knowledge to differentiate itself. Its business model centers on providing tailored digital marketing solutions including web development, content, and strategic consulting. The company targets maritime, offshore, shipbuilding, transport, and logistics companies globally, positioning itself as a specialist rather than a generalist agency. The presence of over 100 clients and recognizable industry partners like Damen Marine Components indicates a stable client base and strong market credibility. The agency's revenue streams likely derive from service contracts and project-based engagements. The multilingual website (English and Dutch) and active social media presence support international outreach and client engagement. The company emphasizes pragmatic, data-driven marketing approaches, aligning with modern digital marketing trends.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and integration of Google reCAPTCHA to mitigate spam and abuse on contact forms. Cookie consent management via Complianz GDPR plugin reflects attention to privacy compliance. However, the absence of DNSSEC and lack of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options represent areas for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The use of reputable plugins and regular updates implied by version numbers suggests ongoing maintenance. Incident response and security policy documentation are not publicly available, which is common for small agencies but could be enhanced to improve trust. Overall, the security posture is good but could be elevated with additional hardening measures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Implement security headers such as CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and plugins to identify and remediate vulnerabilities.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response plan to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  5. Maintain and monitor cookie consent and privacy compliance mechanisms to align with evolving regulations.

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.
