Risk levelMedium

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

Navalis Shipping operates as a specialized shipbroker and operator focusing on container and bulk cargo shipping, with a niche in European forest product transport. The company is part of the Navalis Group, indicating a structured business entity within the maritime transportation sector. The website is professionally designed using TYPO3 CMS and incorporates modern web technologies such as Bootstrap and Matomo analytics configured with privacy-conscious settings. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data raises concerns about domain legitimacy and ownership transparency. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but lacks security headers and cookie consent mechanisms, which are important for GDPR compliance and user trust. Contact information is not explicitly provided on the main page, which may hinder user engagement and trust. Overall, the website presents a professional business front but requires improvements in transparency, security headers, and privacy compliance to enhance trustworthiness and regulatory adherence.

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. 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 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

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

Navalis Shipping holds a niche position in the European maritime transport market, offering brokerage and operator services primarily for container and bulk cargo, including forest products. The affiliation with Navalis Group suggests a broader corporate structure supporting its operations. The business model revolves around facilitating shipping logistics and vessel operations, targeting B2B clients in the shipping and logistics sectors. The website content and structure indicate a small-sized enterprise with a focused service portfolio. The lack of explicit contact details and certifications on the website may limit client confidence and market reach. The company leverages a professional CMS and analytics platform but should enhance transparency and compliance disclosures to strengthen its competitive positioning.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and uses Matomo analytics with privacy-respecting configurations, indicating a baseline security awareness. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No visible forms or input fields were detected to assess input validation or CSRF protections. The missing WHOIS registration data is a significant concern, potentially indicating domain privacy protection or misconfiguration, which impacts trust. The lack of cookie consent mechanisms may expose the company to GDPR compliance risks. Incident response and security policy information are not published, limiting transparency and preparedness indicators. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires enhancements in headers, privacy compliance, and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish clear contact information including emails and phone numbers to improve business credibility and user trust.
  4. Clarify domain registration details and ensure WHOIS data is accurate and publicly available to reduce suspicion.
  5. Develop and publish a security policy and incident response contact details to demonstrate security maturity and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a mature and extensible content management system, combined with Bootstrap for responsive design and Matomo for analytics. The site loads moderate performance assets and is mobile optimized with good navigation clarity. However, no hosting provider information was detected, and no advanced performance optimization indicators were found. The absence of security headers and cookie consent mechanisms indicates technical debt in security and privacy compliance. The site uses modern HTML5 and CSS but could benefit from enhanced accessibility features and SEO improvements. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but requires updates to meet current security and privacy best practices.
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.
