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

Liquigas Malta Ltd is a well-established energy company specializing in the supply and distribution of LPG gas and autogas in Malta and Gozo. With over 70 years of experience, the company holds a leading market position offering a range of products including bulk LPG, gas cylinders, autogas for vehicles, and related accessories. The website reflects a professional business model targeting residential and commercial customers, providing both online ordering and physical points of sale. The company emphasizes ecological responsibility and cost savings through cleaner energy solutions. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality, enhanced by popular plugins such as WPBakery Page Builder and Slider Revolution. The site uses modern web technologies including Google reCAPTCHA v3 for form security and integrates Google Fonts for typography. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO practices are well implemented with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and employs cookie consent mechanisms compliant with GDPR. Security headers are partially implemented, and no exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy or incident response contact is noted. The domain uses privacy protection for WHOIS data, which is justified given the business type. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be improved with enhanced headers and formal policies. The overall risk assessment is low with a high trustworthiness rating. Strategic recommendations include strengthening security headers, publishing security and incident response policies, and enhancing accessibility compliance. The website effectively balances business credibility, privacy compliance, and user experience, making it a reliable digital presence for Liquigas Malta Ltd.

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

8 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. 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 CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: PostgreSQL

      Port 5432 (PostgreSQL) is publicly accessible - PostgreSQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to PostgreSQL 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 CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  4. 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

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

Liquigas Malta Ltd operates in the energy sector, focusing on LPG supply and autogas distribution in Malta. The company leverages a hybrid business model combining direct sales through physical stores and an online shop, targeting both residential and commercial clients. Its competitive advantage lies in its long-standing market presence, ecological focus, and comprehensive product range. Partnerships with recognized industry players such as Multigas, Liquigas Italy, and SHV Energy strengthen its supply chain and brand credibility. The company’s marketing strategy includes active social media engagement and transparent privacy practices, supporting customer trust and regulatory compliance. Growth indicators include product diversification and digital sales channels. The business ecosystem is supported by modern e-commerce infrastructure and analytics tools, enabling data-driven decision-making.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS encryption and integration of Google reCAPTCHA v3 to protect forms from automated abuse. Cookie consent management aligns with GDPR requirements, enhancing privacy compliance. Security best practices such as avoiding exposed sensitive data and using updated plugins are observed. However, the lack of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and comprehensive security headers (e.g., CSP, X-Frame-Options) represents areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or suspicious activities were detected in the HTML content or scripts. The domain’s privacy-protected WHOIS data is typical for commercial entities and does not raise concerns. Overall, the site is secure for its business purpose but would benefit from formalizing security governance and enhancing technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ emails.
  3. Regularly update and audit all WordPress plugins and themes to prevent vulnerabilities from outdated components.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to meet WCAG standards, improving usability for all users and compliance.
  5. Consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by WordPress CMS with WooCommerce for e-commerce capabilities, supported by popular plugins like WPBakery Page Builder and Slider Revolution. It uses jQuery and Google Fonts for frontend enhancements. The site loads asynchronously many scripts including analytics and tracking pixels, balancing performance and functionality. Mobile responsiveness is well addressed with a dedicated mobile navigation menu. SEO is supported by The SEO Framework plugin and proper meta tags including Open Graph. Performance is moderate, with some room for optimization in script loading and caching. The technical stack is modern and widely supported, minimizing technical debt and ensuring maintainability. Hosting provider details are not explicitly available from the HTML content.
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.
