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

Klip Marine Shipmanagement Ltd. is a well-established maritime service provider specializing in ship management, technical management, crew management, and related services primarily in the Baltic region. Founded in 1990, the company has a strong market presence with over 30 years of experience and a diverse managed fleet. Their website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, targeting shipowners and financiers seeking comprehensive vessel management solutions. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with standard plugins and demonstrates good mobile optimization and SEO practices. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS and implements a detailed cookie consent mechanism but lacks advanced security headers and explicit security policies. Overall, the domain registration and WHOIS data align well with the company's history and legitimacy, supporting a high trust score. Strategic improvements include adding privacy and security policies, enhancing security headers, and publishing vulnerability disclosure information to strengthen compliance and 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

9 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

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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 Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

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 · found on this site
  • 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, focusing on ship management services including technical management, audits, crew management, vessel registration, inspections, and insurance. Their business model is service-oriented, catering to shipowners and financiers globally but with a regional focus on the Baltic States. The firm has a solid reputation supported by multiple certifications and a long operational history. Their website content and structure indicate a mature business with clear service offerings and professional communication channels. The presence of offices in Estonia and Latvia and a retention rate of 82% suggest operational stability and client satisfaction. No direct competitors or partners are listed, but social media presence on LinkedIn and Facebook supports engagement with the maritime community.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with HTTPS enforced and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism that supports GDPR compliance. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces the overall security hardening. No incident response or security contact information is provided, and no vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file is found. The site does not expose sensitive data or use vulnerable libraries based on the HTML content. Forms use AJAX with nonce tokens for submission security, indicating some attention to secure data handling. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be improved with additional policies and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve transparency and legal compliance.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Include incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses to improve readiness and trust.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and scripts to mitigate risks from vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using version 6.8.2 with jQuery and a cookie consent plugin. The site uses modern HTML5 and CSS with responsive design techniques ensuring good mobile optimization. Performance is moderate with no obvious blocking scripts or heavy resources detected. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, canonical links, and structured navigation menus. Accessibility is basic with skip links and ARIA labels present but could be enhanced further. The site lacks advanced security headers and detailed technical metadata such as Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data for business or organization schema. Hosting provider details are not disclosed in the HTML content. Overall, the technical implementation is solid for a small to medium business website but has room for modernization and security improvements.
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.
