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

NAVICON A/S is a specialized software company providing maritime surveillance and navigation system software, serving professional users including the Royal Danish Navy and international maritime operators. The company has a long-standing market presence since 1997, focusing on AIS, VTS, command and control, and maritime data analysis solutions. Their niche expertise positions them as a trusted provider in the transportation and technology sectors. Technically, the website uses legacy technologies such as jQuery 1.3.2 and Cufon font replacement, indicating an outdated technical infrastructure with moderate performance and limited mobile optimization. Security posture is moderate with no visible HTTPS enforcement or security headers and use of outdated libraries, posing potential risks. Privacy compliance is minimal with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism or GDPR indicators. Business credibility is supported by the domain age, professional content, and known contracts with the Royal Danish Navy. Overall, the website is functional but would benefit from modernization and enhanced security and privacy practices.

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. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  2. 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';…

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

NAVICON operates in a specialized maritime software niche with a focus on surveillance and navigation systems. Their competitive advantage lies in long-term contracts with government entities like the Royal Danish Navy and expertise in AIS and VTS systems. The business model centers on software development and delivery to professional maritime users. The target customers include naval forces, coastal surveillance operators, and boat owners requiring monitoring solutions. The company appears small in size but well-established with a consistent brand presence. There is no evidence of extensive partnerships or subsidiaries. Growth indicators are limited from the website content, but the longevity and niche focus suggest stable operations. The company’s ecosystem is focused on maritime technology rather than broad commercial partnerships.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate to low. The website lacks modern security headers and does not indicate HTTPS enforcement, which is critical for protecting user data and trust. The use of an outdated jQuery version (1.3.2) introduces known vulnerabilities that could be exploited. No incident response or security policy information is provided, indicating limited transparency and preparedness. GDPR compliance is weak, with no cookie consent mechanism despite a privacy policy. Data protection practices and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are absent. Overall, the security culture appears minimal, and improvements are needed to meet modern standards and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Upgrade all JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to current secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement HTTPS with HSTS and ensure all pages enforce secure connections.
  3. Add standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Introduce a cookie consent mechanism and update privacy policy to reflect GDPR compliance.
  5. Publish clear security policies and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript technologies, including legacy libraries like jQuery 1.3.2 and Cufon font replacement, which are outdated and may cause compatibility and security issues. There is no detected CMS or modern framework usage. The site lacks mobile optimization and accessibility features, limiting user experience on diverse devices. Performance is moderate but could be improved with modernization. SEO is basic with minimal meta tags and no structured data or Open Graph tags detected. Hosting provider and SSL configuration details are not visible from the HTML content. Overall, the technical infrastructure shows signs of technical debt and would benefit from modernization to improve security, performance, and user experience.
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.
