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

Oceantic Network is a specialized business network focused on the offshore wind energy sector, providing industry stakeholders with networking opportunities, events, and informational resources. The website is built on WordPress and leverages modern web technologies including UIkit, FontAwesome, and Google Fonts, with DNS managed via Cloudflare and domain registration through GoDaddy. The site demonstrates good technical maturity with HTTPS enabled and SEO optimization via Yoast SEO Premium. However, it lacks visible privacy and cookie policies, which impacts its privacy compliance score. Security posture is moderate with domain protections in place but missing DNSSEC and security headers. The site extensively uses third-party tracking and marketing scripts without clear privacy disclosures, which may raise privacy concerns. Overall, the website is professional and relevant to its niche but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security 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. 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 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

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

The Oceantic Network operates as a niche industry platform targeting businesses and professionals in offshore wind energy. Its business model centers on networking and information dissemination, positioning itself as a connector within the renewable energy sector. The company was founded in 2022, consistent with the domain registration date. Social media presence on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn supports its outreach strategy. The platform's growth potential lies in expanding its event offerings and industry partnerships. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified. The lack of explicit contact information and compliance policies suggests room for operational maturity improvements.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and domain status protections that prevent unauthorized domain modifications. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which could expose DNS queries to spoofing attacks. No security headers were detected in the provided data, indicating potential vulnerability to clickjacking, MIME sniffing, and other web attacks. The site uses multiple third-party tracking scripts, increasing the attack surface and raising privacy concerns. There is no evidence of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure program. These gaps suggest a moderate security maturity level with opportunities for strengthening defenses and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  4. Add a security policy and incident response contact information to demonstrate security readiness.
  5. Review and minimize third-party tracking scripts to reduce privacy risks and improve user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including UIkit for UI components, FontAwesome for icons, and Google Fonts for typography. It uses jQuery and several marketing and analytics scripts such as Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, Twitter Ads, and LinkedIn Insight Tag. Hosting and DNS are managed via reputable providers (GoDaddy and Cloudflare). Performance is moderate with preloading and preconnect optimizations observed. Mobile optimization is good, but accessibility features appear basic. SEO is enhanced by Yoast SEO Premium plugin and structured data in JSON-LD format. Technical risks include missing DNSSEC and security headers, and extensive third-party scripts that may impact privacy and security.
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.
