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

Nor-Shipping is a well-established maritime exhibition organizer with a domain registered since 2003, indicating a long-standing presence in the maritime industry. The website focuses on promoting the 2027 event, providing exhibitor and ticketing information, and leveraging modern web technologies such as WordPress with Elementor, Cloudflare CDN, and multiple analytics and tracking pixels. The technical infrastructure is solid, with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and domain transfer protections, but could be improved by enabling DNSSEC and publishing explicit security policies. Privacy compliance is partial, with a cookie policy and consent mechanism present but no visible privacy or terms of service pages. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy, targeting maritime industry professionals and exhibitors.

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

6 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 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

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

Nor-Shipping operates in the energy and transportation sectors, specifically maritime shipping. Its business model revolves around event organization and exhibition services, generating revenue through exhibitor bookings and ticket sales. The company targets maritime professionals and businesses seeking networking and showcasing opportunities. The website's long domain age and consistent branding support a strong market position. Partnerships with related domains such as novaspektrumdesign.no and others indicate a collaborative ecosystem. The use of multiple tracking and analytics tools suggests a focus on marketing and audience engagement.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL configuration and uses Cloudflare for DNS and CDN services, enhancing security and performance. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended best practice for DNS security. No explicit security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are found, which could hinder transparency and trust in security matters. The presence of multiple tracking pixels raises privacy considerations, although a cookie consent mechanism is implemented. Security headers are not explicitly detected in the provided content, suggesting room for improvement. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could benefit from enhanced policies and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to enhance compliance and user trust.
  3. Add a security policy page and provide incident response contact information to improve transparency.
  4. Implement additional security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Review and minimize tracking pixels to balance marketing needs with user privacy and GDPR compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using the Elementor page builder, hosted behind Cloudflare CDN and DNS services. It integrates multiple third-party analytics and tracking services including Matomo, Facebook Pixel, TikTok Pixel, and LinkedIn Insight Tag. The site uses custom fonts and responsive design techniques, providing a good user experience across devices. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization. Accessibility features are basic, and SEO is well addressed through meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). The technical stack is modern but could be enhanced by implementing stronger security headers and DNSSEC.
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.
