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

Holland Shipyards Group operates as a maritime shipbuilding and services company specializing in new vessel construction, repair, conversions, and rentals. Their market position is that of an established medium-sized player in the Netherlands maritime sector, offering a broad range of vessel types including tugs, ferries, dredging vessels, and accommodation units. The website reflects a professional business presence with clear service offerings and contact information. Technically, the site is built on the Webflow platform, leveraging modern web technologies and analytics tools such as Google Analytics and Tag Manager, with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and reCAPTCHA implemented, but lacks advanced security headers and published security policies. The absence of WHOIS registration data raises concerns about domain legitimacy, although the website content and business information appear consistent and trustworthy. Overall, the site scores well in content quality and privacy compliance but should improve security transparency and domain registration clarity.

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. 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 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. 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

  3. 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 targets maritime industry clients requiring new vessels, repairs, and rentals, positioning itself as a comprehensive shipyard group in the Netherlands. Their business model integrates construction, maintenance, and rental services, likely generating revenue from multiple streams including new builds and fleet rentals. The website's professional design and social media presence support brand credibility. However, the lack of visible certifications or security policies suggests room for improvement in trust signals. No direct partnerships or subsidiaries are identified from the domain data. Growth indicators include recent news updates and active recruitment links, indicating ongoing operations and expansion.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms, indicating baseline security awareness. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces defense-in-depth. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, limiting transparency. The missing WHOIS data is a significant concern for domain legitimacy and trust. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be enhanced by publishing security policies, implementing additional headers, and clarifying domain registration details.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to strengthen site security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure legitimacy and reduce suspicion.
  4. Enhance accessibility features and conduct regular security audits to identify and remediate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies to ensure ongoing GDPR compliance and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Webflow platform, utilizing modern front-end technologies including Google Fonts, jQuery, and Google Analytics for tracking. The site loads multiple external resources from trusted CDNs and uses asynchronous script loading to optimize performance. Mobile responsiveness is good, and SEO meta tags are properly configured. However, the site lacks advanced security headers and does not appear to use any server-side security frameworks. Hosting is managed by Webflow's infrastructure, which provides reliable uptime and performance. There is no evidence of technical debt or deprecated libraries, but opportunities exist to improve security and accessibility compliance.
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.
