Risk levelMedium

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

Grieg Shipbrokers KS is a Norwegian maritime shipbroking company with a long history dating back to 1884. The company offers expert advice and comprehensive market coverage to maritime industry clients. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, targeting maritime professionals and companies. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern technologies such as jQuery and Google Tag Manager, and it implements SEO best practices. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent mechanisms in place, but lacks visible security headers and published security policies. Privacy compliance is limited due to the absence of a privacy policy and terms of service. Overall, the site is trustworthy and credible, but could improve in privacy and security transparency.

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

4 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 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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. 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

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

The company operates in the transportation sector, specifically maritime shipbroking, serving a specialized market segment. Its long-standing history and consistent branding position it as a reputable player in the Norwegian maritime industry. The business model focuses on service provision with expert consultancy and market coverage. The website supports marketing and client engagement but lacks detailed contact information and formal policy disclosures. The use of SEO and analytics tools indicates a focus on digital presence and customer insights. No partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the data provided.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, ensuring encrypted communication. Cookie consent is implemented, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is published, which may impact readiness and transparency. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced by adding security headers and formal policies.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add a terms of service page to clarify user agreements and legal protections.
  3. Implement and configure security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for customer and security incident reporting.
  5. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to enhance transparency and security culture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS, using jQuery 3.6.0 and Yoast SEO plugin for SEO optimization. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and tracking. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good navigation clarity. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected in the provided data. The site lacks advanced accessibility features but meets basic standards. No hosting provider details were identified. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and formal policy pages.
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.
