Security score

78/100

Risk levelLow

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

MaK Marine operates a professional website focused on marine engine products and services, primarily targeting the Asia and Middle East markets. The company appears affiliated with Caterpillar Inc., leveraging strong branding and regional market presence. The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager, incorporating modern technologies such as Google Tag Manager and OneTrust for privacy compliance. The site offers comprehensive content with good navigation and mobile optimization. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, though lacks explicit security headers and incident response information. WHOIS data is unavailable or inconsistent, which raises some concerns about domain registration transparency but does not negate the professional appearance and functionality of the site. Overall, the website is trustworthy and business credible but would benefit from improved transparency and security practices.

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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

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 business targets marine industry clients with a B2B model offering engine products, parts, and after sales services. Its market position is strong regionally, supported by Caterpillar's brand. The website content and structure indicate a medium-sized enterprise with a focus on product quality and customer service. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests reliance on contact forms and dealer networks. The company uses advanced digital marketing and compliance tools, indicating a mature digital presence. No direct evidence of revenue streams or certifications was found, but the site’s professional design and content imply established operations.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses cookie consent tools compliant with GDPR, reflecting a good privacy and security baseline. However, the lack of visible security headers such as CSP, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options is a gap. No incident response or security policy pages were found, limiting transparency for security concerns. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The WHOIS data inconsistency is a concern for domain legitimacy but may be due to privacy protection. Overall, the security posture is moderate to good but could be enhanced by adding security headers and incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify HTTP security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Provide explicit company contact emails and phone numbers on the website to facilitate direct communication.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure no vulnerabilities or privacy issues.
  5. Clarify domain registration details or ensure WHOIS data is accurate and publicly available to improve legitimacy perception.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Adobe Experience Manager CMS, a robust enterprise platform, combined with modern JavaScript libraries and Google Tag Manager for analytics. OneTrust is used for cookie consent, indicating GDPR compliance efforts. The site loads external resources from reputable domains and uses Google Maps API for location services. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and canonical links. The technical stack is modern and well-implemented, though some improvements in security headers and performance tuning could be made.
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.
