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

General Logistics Systems US, Inc. (GLS) operates a regional parcel delivery service focused on the Western United States, providing faster delivery services across multiple states including California, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Colorado. The company offers a variety of shipping tools, account management, and integration options for business customers. The website reflects a medium-sized transportation business with a clear focus on parcel delivery and customer support. Technically, the site uses modern JavaScript frameworks such as Vue.js and integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools including HubSpot, Marketo, Google Analytics, and Hotjar. However, the website suffers from critical security shortcomings, notably the absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS support, which severely impacts the security posture and trustworthiness of the site. Privacy compliance is basic, with a privacy policy present but no visible cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the site provides good content and user experience but requires urgent security improvements to protect user data and enhance 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. 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

  2. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Weak SPF Policy

      SPF record has permissive policy allowing any server to send email

      What to do: Use -all or ~all qualifier for better email 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, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

GLS positions itself as a leading regional parcel carrier in the Western US, targeting businesses and individuals needing reliable shipping solutions. The company leverages partnerships for legacy LTL services and integrates with various shipping and marketing platforms. Their business model emphasizes account-based shipping with discounted rates and flexible pickup options. The presence of career opportunities and environmental sustainability initiatives indicates a mature organization with growth and corporate responsibility focus. The website content and navigation are well structured, supporting customer engagement and service discovery. However, the lack of direct contact emails or phone numbers may limit immediate customer support accessibility.

Security posture

The website's security posture is weak due to the lack of a valid SSL certificate and absence of HTTPS, exposing users to potential data interception risks. No security headers are implemented, and there is no HSTS policy to enforce secure connections. Email authentication is partially addressed with SPF and DMARC records, but the DMARC policy is set to 'none', offering minimal protection against spoofing. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is available, indicating limited transparency in security management. The site uses multiple third-party scripts, increasing the attack surface without visible mitigations. Immediate remediation of SSL/TLS configuration and implementation of security best practices is critical to reduce risk.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Enable HSTS with includeSubDomains and preload to enforce secure connections.
  4. Review and strengthen DMARC policy to quarantine or reject unauthorized emails.
  5. Add a cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and improve transparency.
  6. Provide clear contact information including verified company emails and phone numbers for support and incident reporting.
  7. Conduct a security audit of third-party scripts and remove or sandbox unnecessary ones.
  8. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack centered around Vue.js and Kentico CMS, integrating various marketing and analytics tools such as HubSpot, Marketo, Google Analytics, and Hotjar. The site includes interactive features like shipment tracking widgets and chat support powered by Talkdesk Chat SDK. Despite the modern frontend, the site suffers from slow load times and a large page size, indicating potential optimization opportunities. Hosting is managed via Deutsche Telekom AG nameservers, suggesting a reliable infrastructure. Accessibility and SEO are addressed at a basic to good level, with proper meta tags and responsive design. However, the lack of HTTPS and security headers represents a significant technical risk that could impact business operations and user trust.
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.
