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

International Marine, a division of Akzo Nobel N.V., operates a comprehensive website focused on marine coatings and performance solutions for vessels worldwide. The company positions itself as a global leader in marine coatings, offering specialized products and digital compliance solutions tailored to various vessel types and shipyard operations. The website reflects a B2B business model targeting marine industry professionals and ship operators, supported by strong corporate branding and a consistent user experience. Technically, the site is built on Adobe Experience Manager with React components and integrates modern marketing and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager and OneTrust for cookie consent management. However, the site suffers from critical security shortcomings, notably the absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of TLS protocol support, which severely impacts its security posture. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms. Overall, the website demonstrates good content quality and business credibility but requires urgent improvements in security infrastructure to protect user data and maintain 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

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 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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 website reflects International Marine's strong market position as part of AkzoNobel, a major global chemical company. The business focuses on manufacturing and supplying high-performance marine coatings, targeting a specialized niche within the transportation and manufacturing sectors. The presence of related partner sites and detailed product segmentation indicates a mature ecosystem and diversified product portfolio. The company leverages digital innovations and compliance solutions to enhance customer value. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a controlled communication channel via contact forms, typical for enterprise B2B operations. The website's slow performance and large page size may affect user engagement and indicate opportunities for technical optimization. The integration of privacy and cookie policies aligns with regulatory requirements, supporting global operations.

Security posture

The security posture of the website is currently weak due to the lack of a valid SSL certificate and absence of TLS protocol support, exposing users to potential data interception risks. No security headers are detected, and critical best practices such as HSTS, OCSP stapling, and session resumption are missing. DNS security features like DNSSEC and CAA records are not implemented, increasing exposure to DNS-based attacks. While SPF and DMARC records are configured, the DMARC policy is set to 'none', limiting its effectiveness. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are found. These gaps indicate a need for immediate remediation to align with industry security standards and protect business and customer data.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and maintain a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable secure HTTPS connections.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 or 1.3) and disable insecure legacy protocols.
  3. Configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Activate HSTS with includeSubDomains and preload options to enforce HTTPS.
  5. Enable OCSP stapling and session resumption to improve SSL performance and security.
  6. Deploy DNSSEC and CAA records to enhance DNS security and certificate issuance control.
  7. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency.
  8. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program and provide a security.txt file.
  9. Optimize website performance to reduce load times and improve user experience.
  10. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager CMS with React-based client libraries, indicating a modern and scalable architecture. Hosting is on Amazon AWS infrastructure, providing robust availability. The site integrates Google Tag Manager and Adobe Launch for analytics and marketing automation, alongside OneTrust for cookie consent management. Despite the modern tech stack, the website suffers from slow load times and a large page size (~6.2 MB), which could degrade user experience, especially on mobile devices. Accessibility is basic, and SEO practices are good with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). The lack of valid SSL/TLS and security headers represents a significant technical debt and risk. Addressing these issues will improve security, performance, and 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.
