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

Mark Grey Carriers is a specialized freight delivery company operating primarily in New Zealand's North Island, focusing on customized delivery routes and safe handling of fragile freight using specialized equipment. The company targets businesses requiring reliable and flexible freight services, positioning itself as a dependable regional carrier with a customer-centric approach. The website is built on WordPress with modern plugins and SEO tools, reflecting a moderate level of digital maturity and good technical infrastructure. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and spam protection but lacks DNSSEC and security headers, and there are no published privacy or cookie policies, indicating compliance gaps. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy, but improvements in security and privacy compliance are recommended to enhance risk management and customer trust.

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. 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

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 company operates in the transportation sector with a small business size and a decade-long presence, indicating stability. Its business model emphasizes direct point-to-point freight handling with flexible scheduling and specialized equipment, catering to a niche market segment. Customer testimonials and clear contact information enhance credibility. The absence of social media presence and limited marketing tools suggest a focused but possibly limited digital marketing strategy. The partnership with Oncall Communications for website development indicates professional support. Growth potential exists through expanding delivery regions and enhancing digital presence.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and spam protection plugins, which are positive security measures. However, the lack of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security robustness. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published, which could hinder timely handling of security issues. The absence of privacy and cookie policies also exposes the company to compliance risks under GDPR and similar regulations. Regular updates and security hardening are recommended to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and enhance user trust.
  3. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Maintain regular updates of WordPress core and plugins and conduct periodic security audits.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses WordPress CMS with WPBakery Page Builder and Yoast SEO plugin, indicating a modern and SEO-friendly setup. JavaScript libraries include jQuery and Google Analytics for tracking. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good navigation clarity. Hosting is via Voyager Internet Ltd with DNS managed by proactivcomp.co.nz nameservers. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. The site lacks advanced security configurations such as DNSSEC and security headers, which are recommended for enhanced protection.
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.
