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

Ocean Strategy is a small, independent boutique advisory firm based in Malta, specializing in research-based consultancy and enterprise project management services for organizations and family offices. The company operates through a network of independent consultants and corporate partners, delivering tailored strategic enterprise development and policy-based initiatives. The website is professionally designed using Squarespace, with good branding consistency and clear navigation. Contact information including email, phone, and physical address is clearly provided, enhancing business credibility. Technically, the website leverages Squarespace CMS, Typekit fonts, and Google Tag Manager for analytics. HTTPS is enabled, but the absence of HSTS headers and privacy/cookie policies indicates areas for security and compliance improvement. No forms or data collection fields are present on the homepage, reducing immediate privacy risks. The site shows moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is generally good with no exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries detected. However, the lack of security policies and incident response contacts limits transparency. The domain is privacy protected but has a registration date consistent with the business's apparent history, supporting legitimacy. Overall, the site is trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security disclosures. Strategic recommendations include implementing privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms, enabling HSTS headers, publishing security and incident response policies, and improving accessibility features to meet compliance standards.

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

10 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

    • 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. 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
  • 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

Ocean Strategy positions itself as a boutique advisory firm focused on transformative ventures and strategic enterprise development. Its business model centers on providing consultancy and project management services through a network of independent consultants and partners. The target audience includes organizations and family offices requiring strategic development assistance. The company leverages client testimonials and a featured consultant profile to build trust. The website content and domain age align with a legitimate small consultancy business operating in Malta. The limited social media presence (LinkedIn only) suggests a focused professional outreach strategy. The absence of privacy and cookie policies may reflect a gap in compliance maturity rather than intent. Overall, the business shows stable positioning with opportunities to enhance digital trust and compliance.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication, but lacks the Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS) header, which is recommended to enforce HTTPS usage. No security policy or incident response contact information is provided, limiting transparency for security issues. No vulnerable or outdated libraries were detected in the HTML content. The absence of forms reduces the risk of input-based vulnerabilities. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics, with minimal user tracking observed. The site does not display privacy or cookie consent mechanisms, indicating potential GDPR compliance gaps. Overall, the security posture is moderate with room for improvement in policy disclosures and HTTP security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a comprehensive privacy policy and make it easily accessible on the website.
  2. Add a cookie policy and deploy a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Enable the HTTP Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS) header to enforce HTTPS and improve security.
  4. Publish a security policy and provide incident response contact information to enhance transparency and trust.
  5. Improve website accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Squarespace platform, utilizing Typekit fonts and Google Tag Manager for analytics. The HTML and CSS are valid and well-structured, supporting good SEO and mobile responsiveness. Performance is moderate, typical for a Squarespace-hosted site. The site uses modern JavaScript libraries and asynchronous script loading to optimize load times. No broken links or errors were detected in the content. Hosting is via Squarespace CDN, ensuring reliable uptime and content delivery. The technical infrastructure is stable and suitable for a small consultancy business, with opportunities to enhance security headers and privacy compliance.
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.
