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. 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 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. 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 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

Nigerdock targets businesses engaged in African trade, maritime logistics, and industrial free zone activities. Its business model revolves around providing integrated port and free zone services that facilitate trade and ease of doing business. The company maintains a strong market position in Nigeria and the broader African region, supported by a consistent brand and active social media presence. Partnerships such as with the Snake Island Integrated Free Zone (sifreezone.com) enhance its operational ecosystem. The website content and structure indicate a large enterprise with a focus on sustainability, health and safety, and corporate social responsibility, aligning with modern business practices and stakeholder expectations.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with excellent SSL configuration and includes key security headers, indicating a solid baseline security posture. The presence of a cookie consent banner and privacy policy demonstrates compliance with privacy regulations such as GDPR. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy or incident response contact channels suggests limited transparency in security governance. The site uses popular and regularly updated WordPress plugins, but continuous monitoring for plugin vulnerabilities is recommended. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by publishing explicit security and incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security governance and controls.
  2. Establish and publicize incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ emails.
  3. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
  5. Consider implementing a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to foster transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using the Elementor page builder, leveraging modern web technologies including jQuery and Google Analytics for tracking. Multilingual support is provided by the Weglot plugin, enabling content in English, French, Arabic, and Chinese. The site uses a responsive design optimized for mobile devices and includes SEO-friendly meta tags. Performance is moderate, with lazy loading and caching likely in place. The technical infrastructure is standard for enterprise WordPress sites, with no critical technical debt or risks identified from the HTML content. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and further optimize performance.
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.
