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

Ligabue S.p.a. is a well-established company specializing in global food service and logistics for the maritime and energy sectors. The company operates in 16 countries with a network of 200 partners and suppliers across 417 ports, providing ship supply, cargo services, industrial services, and maritime hospitality. Their website reflects a professional and comprehensive digital presence, leveraging WordPress CMS and modern frontend technologies. However, the absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS implementation is a critical security gap that undermines user trust and data protection. Privacy policies are well addressed through a reputable third-party provider, indicating good compliance with GDPR standards. Overall, the company demonstrates strong business credibility and market positioning but must urgently address its security posture to align with best practices and regulatory requirements.

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

6 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

  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 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';…

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 Ligabue Group targets B2B clients in the maritime, energy, and hospitality industries, offering tailored services for offshore and onshore platforms, cruise and ferry operators, and merchant vessels. Their extensive global footprint and partnerships indicate a mature supply chain and logistics capability. The website's detailed map and subsidiary listings highlight a diversified international presence. The company leverages digital marketing and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager to monitor user engagement. While the business model is service-oriented with a focus on operational excellence, the lack of visible certifications or security policies suggests opportunities for enhancing trust and compliance transparency.

Security posture

The website currently lacks a valid SSL certificate and does not support any TLS protocols, exposing users to potential data interception risks. Security headers are minimal, and critical protections such as HSTS and OCSP stapling are not implemented. Forms include consent checkboxes, reflecting some privacy awareness, but no dedicated security or incident response policies are published. The absence of vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files limits transparency and responsiveness to security incidents. Immediate remediation of SSL/TLS issues and enhancement of security headers are essential to improve the security posture and protect business and customer data.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 or 1.3) and disable outdated or insecure protocols.
  3. Implement HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload options.
  4. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  5. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency.
  6. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  7. Review and optimize website performance metrics and accessibility features.
  8. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies to ensure ongoing GDPR compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.1 with common plugins including Contact Form 7 and uses frontend libraries like jQuery, Swiper.js, and Locomotive Scroll for enhanced user experience. Hosting is provided by Cloudways, indicated by caching headers. SEO is supported by Rank Math plugin with proper meta tags and structured data in JSON-LD format. The site is mobile responsive and well-structured, but performance metrics are not available. The lack of HTTPS and modern security configurations represents a significant technical risk. The site uses Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking, which is integrated properly. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern but requires urgent security upgrades.
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.
