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

Marilux is a well-established Dutch family-owned wholesale business specializing in high-quality electrical components for the shipbuilding and industrial sectors. Founded in 1989, the company has built a strong reputation as an exclusive dealer for several international maritime and industrial brands. Their website reflects a professional and consistent brand presence, targeting maritime and industrial clients primarily in the Netherlands. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with Elementor, incorporating modern web technologies and security features such as HTTPS, DNSSEC, and Google reCAPTCHA v3 to protect user interactions. The presence of privacy and cookie policies indicates a baseline compliance with GDPR requirements. Security posture is solid with no evident vulnerabilities, though additional security headers and incident response information could enhance trust. Overall, Marilux demonstrates a mature digital presence aligned with its business history and market position.

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

4 findings 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.

    • 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • 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

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

Marilux operates as a niche wholesaler and exclusive dealer in the maritime and industrial electrical components market. Their competitive advantage lies in long-term partnerships with reputable international brands and a deep technical know-how accumulated over 30+ years. The business model focuses on B2B sales to shipbuilders and industrial companies, supported by direct contact channels and a professional website. The company’s market position is stable with a clear focus on quality and reliability. The partnership ecosystem includes several specialized manufacturers, enhancing their product portfolio. Growth potential exists through digital marketing and expanding service offerings. The website’s multilingual support (Dutch and English) suggests readiness for international engagement.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and DNSSEC enabled, reducing risks of domain spoofing and man-in-the-middle attacks. The use of Google reCAPTCHA v3 on the contact form mitigates spam and automated abuse. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates room for improvement in security transparency and readiness. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Security headers beyond HTTPS are not explicitly present, which could be enhanced to protect against clickjacking, MIME sniffing, and other web attacks. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business size but could benefit from formalized policies and additional technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement additional HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen web security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide incident response contact channels (e.g., security@ or abuse@ emails) to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to minimize risks from third-party vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance by detailing data retention policies and cookie consent management on the website.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using the Elementor page builder, which provides flexibility and responsive design capabilities. The inclusion of Google Tag Manager and reCAPTCHA indicates integration with standard marketing and security tools. Performance is moderate, with lazy loading and optimized images improving load times. The site is mobile optimized and accessible at a basic level, though further accessibility improvements could be made. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and multilingual support. Hosting provider details are not explicit, but DNSSEC and HTTPS indicate a secure domain setup. Technical risks include dependency on third-party plugins and potential lack of advanced security headers.
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.
