Risk levelMedium

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

The website www.massport.com appears to represent Massport, a Massachusetts government agency responsible for transportation infrastructure such as airports and seaports. However, the provided HTML content is inaccessible due to Incapsula Web Application Firewall (WAF) blocking, preventing any meaningful content extraction or analysis. The WHOIS lookup failed to return any registration data, which limits verification of domain legitimacy and age. No privacy, cookie, or terms of service policies were found, nor any contact information or social media links. The technical infrastructure is minimal in the accessible data, with only Incapsula WAF scripts detected. Overall, the website's security posture cannot be fully assessed due to blocked content, but the lack of visible security headers and policies suggests room for improvement.

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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

  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

    • 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. 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
  • 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

Massport operates as a government transportation authority managing airports, seaports, and industrial properties in Massachusetts. The business model is public sector focused on infrastructure management and service provision to travelers and businesses. The domain's lack of WHOIS data and blocked content limit insights into partnerships or subsidiaries. The agency likely serves a large audience including the general public and commercial entities. The absence of visible marketing or analytics tools suggests a focus on service rather than commercial activities.

Security posture

The website is protected by Incapsula WAF, which currently blocks access to the content, indicating a strong perimeter defense. However, no security headers or SSL configuration details are available from the provided data. The absence of privacy and cookie policies, contact information for incident response, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates gaps in compliance and transparency. The security score is low due to inaccessible content and missing security best practices. The domain's WHOIS data absence raises concerns about registration transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Work with hosting and security providers to allow safe access for security and compliance scanning.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies to improve compliance and user trust.
  3. Implement and expose security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Provide clear contact information including security incident response contacts.
  5. Ensure WHOIS registration data is complete and publicly available to improve domain legitimacy.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Incapsula WAF for protection, which currently blocks content access. No other technologies, CMS, or frameworks are detectable from the provided HTML snippet. The site lacks visible metadata, structured data, or SEO optimizations. Performance, mobile optimization, and accessibility cannot be assessed due to blocked content. The technical debt and modernization opportunities cannot be evaluated without further access.
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.
