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

Ocean Maps GmbH is a specialized engineering company focused on surveying, visualization, and application solutions primarily for the energy and construction sectors. Their services include underwater surveying using advanced sonar systems, UAV and laser scanning for aerial data collection, and custom software development for digital twins and GIS data visualization. The company positions itself as a leader in precise data acquisition and intuitive data presentation, targeting industry professionals requiring accurate and actionable spatial data. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear navigation and relevant content tailored to their target audience. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with a modern plugin ecosystem including Colibri Page Builder and TranslatePress for multilingual support. It integrates Google Analytics and AddThis for analytics and social sharing. However, the site lacks a valid SSL certificate, serving content over HTTP only, which is a significant security concern. DNS records appear misconfigured or missing, which could impact domain resolution and email services. Performance data is unavailable, but the site appears mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly. From a security perspective, the absence of HTTPS and missing DNS records are critical vulnerabilities that reduce trust and expose users to risks. While no direct vulnerabilities or malware are detected, the site lacks explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. Privacy compliance is well addressed with comprehensive privacy and cookie policies and a consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. Overall, Ocean Maps GmbH presents a credible and professional business with strong domain expertise but requires urgent improvements in technical security infrastructure to protect users and enhance trust. Strategic recommendations include immediate SSL certificate installation, DNS configuration correction, and implementation of security best practices to elevate the security posture and compliance maturity.

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

9 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

  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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  4. 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"

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 · found on this site
  • 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.

Business context

Business profile

Ocean Maps GmbH operates in the niche market of geospatial data acquisition and visualization, serving energy and construction industries. Their competitive advantage lies in combining underwater sonar surveying with UAV-based laser scanning and tailored digital twin software solutions. The business model focuses on engineering services and custom software development, enabling clients to make informed decisions based on precise spatial data. The company maintains an active online presence with multilingual support and social media engagement, indicating growth orientation and customer outreach. Partnerships with professional equipment providers and integration of modern GIS technologies suggest a robust ecosystem. The company is relatively young, founded around 2019, and targets medium to large projects requiring high data accuracy and visualization capabilities.

Security posture

The current security maturity of Ocean Maps GmbH's website is low due to the lack of HTTPS and invalid SSL configuration, exposing visitors to potential interception and data integrity risks. DNS misconfigurations further undermine domain reliability. No advanced security headers or incident response information are present, indicating limited security governance visibility. However, the site avoids known vulnerable libraries and includes GDPR-compliant privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms, reflecting awareness of privacy regulations. The absence of vulnerability disclosure and security.txt files suggests limited transparency in security practices. Overall, the security posture requires significant enhancement to meet industry standards and protect business and customer data effectively.

Recommendations

  1. Install and configure a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire website.
  2. Correct DNS records to include necessary A, AAAA, MX, and NS entries to ensure domain resolution and email functionality.
  3. Implement security headers such as HSTS, Content Security Policy, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen browser security.
  4. Establish and publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Regularly audit and update all plugins and third-party scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities and maintain compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using Apache server technology. It leverages popular plugins such as Colibri Page Builder for design, TranslatePress for multilingual support, and GDPR Cookie Compliance for privacy management. JavaScript libraries include jQuery and Fancybox for UI enhancements. Analytics and social sharing are handled via Google Analytics and AddThis. Despite a modern tech stack, the absence of a valid SSL certificate and missing DNS records represent critical technical debt and operational risks. Performance metrics are unavailable, but the site appears mobile-optimized with responsive design elements. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph data, and structured JSON-LD schema. The technical infrastructure requires urgent remediation to address security and DNS issues to ensure reliable and secure operations.
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.
