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

Morrison Freight Ltd is a well-established, independently-owned freight forwarding company specializing in European logistics and road freight solutions. The company offers daily freight services across 25 European countries and emphasizes a professional, personal approach with over 30 years of industry experience. Their key services include road freight, intermodal transport, warehousing, and seafreight. The website reflects a strong market position with multi-award recognition and AEO certification, targeting businesses requiring reliable European freight services. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern frameworks such as Bootstrap and UIkit, leveraging jQuery and FontAwesome for UI components. It integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for tracking, and uses Google reCAPTCHA v3 to secure forms. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices and moderate performance. However, some security headers are missing, and no explicit security or incident response policies are published. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses anti-spam measures on forms, but lacks visible security headers and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. The absence of WHOIS registration data for the domain is a notable concern, as it conflicts with the company's claimed long history, potentially impacting trustworthiness. Privacy and cookie policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, with clear consent mechanisms. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy in content and design but would benefit from improved transparency in domain registration and enhanced security policies. Strategic improvements in security headers, incident response documentation, and WHOIS data clarity are recommended to strengthen trust and compliance.

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

5 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. 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

  4. 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

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

Morrison Freight operates in the transportation sector with a focus on European freight forwarding. Their competitive advantage lies in their extensive experience, multilingual team, and daily service coverage across 25 countries. The business model centers on providing tailored logistics solutions combining traditional values with modern operational efficiency. Revenue streams likely derive from freight forwarding, warehousing, and intermodal services. The company targets SMEs and larger businesses requiring cross-border European logistics. Growth indicators include ongoing content updates and training initiatives. The partnership ecosystem includes web design by Logic Design and use of major marketing and analytics platforms. Strategic observations suggest a stable, niche-focused operation with potential to expand digital security and transparency.

Security posture

The current security maturity is moderate to good. HTTPS is enforced site-wide, and Google reCAPTCHA v3 protects forms against spam. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No public incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are present, limiting transparency and preparedness. Data protection practices appear sound with GDPR-compliant privacy and cookie policies. The lack of WHOIS data raises concerns about domain legitimacy and potential risk. Overall, the security culture is implied but not explicitly documented, suggesting room for improvement in formalizing security governance and incident readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance browser security.
  2. Publish explicit security and incident response policies on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Regularly audit and update all plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Clarify domain registration details or use privacy protection justified by business needs to improve trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a mature WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including Bootstrap, UIkit, jQuery, and FontAwesome. It integrates third-party services such as Google Analytics, Tag Manager, Mailchimp, and Vimeo for multimedia content. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly with structured data (JSON-LD) and Open Graph tags. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and CDN usage for fonts and analytics. Technical risks include missing security headers and potential plugin vulnerabilities if not regularly updated. The site architecture supports scalability but could benefit from enhanced accessibility features and performance tuning.
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.
