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. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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

  2. 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  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 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';…

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 targets yacht owners and marine industry professionals, offering a broad range of services from shipyard operations to engine repairs and yacht brokerage. Its business model is service-oriented with a focus on quality and comprehensive marine solutions. The presence of multiple subsidiaries and partnerships indicates a robust ecosystem supporting its operations. The company leverages digital marketing tools like MailChimp and Google Analytics to engage and analyze its audience. Market positioning is strong within the Mediterranean region, with clear growth and expansion strategies evident from the website content and linked domains.

Security posture

The website maintains a good security posture with HTTPS enforced and integration of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms from spam and abuse. However, the absence of advanced security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security suggests room for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, which could be a gap in transparency and readiness. Overall, the security measures are adequate for the business type but could be enhanced to align with best practices and compliance requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement additional HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to strengthen site security.
  2. Add a dedicated security or incident response page with contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Introduce a cookie consent banner/mechanism to enhance GDPR compliance and user privacy control.
  4. Regularly audit and update all WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve user experience for all visitors, including those with disabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using popular plugins such as WooCommerce, WPBakery Page Builder, LayerSlider, and Revolution Slider. It uses jQuery and FontAwesome for UI elements and Google reCAPTCHA for form security. SEO is managed via Yoast SEO plugin, and analytics are handled through Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager. The site shows moderate performance with good mobile responsiveness and basic accessibility. Hosting provider details are not explicitly disclosed. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from performance optimizations and enhanced security configurations.
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.
