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

1 finding 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.

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

  • SSL/TLS: did not complete in this scan.
  • Email security: did not complete in this scan.
  • DNS health: did not complete in this scan.
  • Network security: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

MacArtney operates in the energy and technology sectors, focusing on underwater technology solutions. Their business model centers on supplying and servicing specialized equipment for offshore and marine industries, targeting operators, contractors, research institutes, and navies worldwide. The company demonstrates competitive advantages through a broad product portfolio, certifications (ISO 9001, ISO 45001), and global service capabilities. Their marketing emphasizes sustainability and ESG commitments, aligning with industry trends. The website reveals active participation in exhibitions and a strong social media presence, indicating engagement with the industry ecosystem. Growth indicators include recent news on product launches and geographic expansion. The company maintains a professional digital presence, supporting its market credibility.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and no sensitive data leaks are evident. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. No vulnerable or outdated libraries were detected, and forms appear to use standard validation. There is no visible incident response or security policy page, which could hinder transparency and readiness. Compliance with GDPR is supported by comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms. Overall, the security posture is adequate but would benefit from enhanced header implementation and explicit security governance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to enhance domain legitimacy and trust.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to maintain security and performance.
  5. Enhance user trust by adding visible trust seals, certifications, and customer testimonials on the website.

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.
