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

Gollcher Group is a well-established maritime and logistics company based in Malta, with a history dating back to 1854. The company offers a broad range of services including shipping agency, freight forwarding, courier services, marine surveying, ship and yacht registration, and airline cargo GSSA. Their market position is strong within Malta and internationally, targeting businesses requiring maritime and logistics solutions. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with good content quality and clear navigation. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using modern plugins and frameworks such as WPBakery Page Builder, Yoast SEO, and Cookiebot for consent management. The site is mobile optimized and uses HTTPS with good SEO practices. However, there is room for improvement in security headers and incident response disclosures. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses cookie consent mechanisms, but lacks explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure information. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The domain registration details align well with the company’s claims, supporting legitimacy. Overall, the website presents a trustworthy and professional digital presence with moderate to good security posture. Strategic improvements in security headers, incident response transparency, and contact phone availability would enhance trust and compliance.

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. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  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

Gollcher Group operates in the transportation sector, focusing on maritime logistics and shipping services. Their competitive advantage lies in their long history, comprehensive service offerings, and local expertise in Malta. The business model is service-oriented, catering to both local and international clients. Revenue streams likely include agency fees, freight forwarding charges, courier services, and registration services. The company targets businesses in shipping, logistics, and related industries. Growth indicators include a wide service portfolio and a strong online presence with active social media channels. Partnerships with airlines and maritime organizations are implied. The company maintains a professional brand with consistent messaging and trust signals such as acting as Lloyds Agency since 1883.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented via Cookiebot. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security reduces the overall security posture. There is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which limits transparency and readiness perception. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Compliance with GDPR is indicated by the presence of privacy and cookie policies. The security culture could be improved by publishing security policies and providing dedicated security contact channels.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page with contact information for security issues.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Include a clearly labeled company phone number for contact to improve trust and accessibility.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Google Tag Manager, Cookiebot, and WPBakery Page Builder. SEO is enhanced using Yoast SEO plugin with structured data (JSON-LD) implemented for organization and webpage metadata. The site loads moderate resources and is mobile optimized with responsive design. Accessibility features are basic but present. Performance is moderate with potential improvements in resource optimization. The technical infrastructure is stable but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and performance tuning to reduce load times and improve user experience.
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.
