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

Peterson Logistics is a large, family-owned multinational company specializing in consultancy, technology, sustainability, and logistics services primarily in the energy and transportation sectors. With a global footprint spanning over 80 countries and a workforce exceeding 6000 employees, the company positions itself as a trusted partner offering innovative solutions and client-centric services. The website reflects a mature digital presence with comprehensive content, client case studies, and sustainability commitments, reinforcing its market position. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern performance optimizations such as WP Rocket, and integrates analytics and monitoring tools including Google Tag Manager, Hotjar, and Sentry. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, providing a smooth user experience. Security best practices are observed with HTTPS enforcement and security headers, although explicit security policies and incident response information are not publicly disclosed. The security posture is strong with no evident vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. Privacy compliance is well addressed with GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanisms and detailed privacy policies. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data raises concerns about domain registration transparency, which slightly impacts trustworthiness. Overall, Peterson Logistics demonstrates a robust business and digital presence with minor gaps in public security documentation and domain registration transparency. Strategic recommendations include publishing security policies, incident response contacts, and verifying domain registration details to enhance trust and compliance.

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

4 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 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

  4. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Unregistered MX Record

      MX record points to unregistered domain:

      What to do: Remove or fix MX record pointing to unregistered domain

      • RFC 5321 §5.1
      • NIS2 21(2)(i)
      • IR 2024/2690 12.4: Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 12.4: Asset inventory

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

Peterson Logistics operates in a competitive global logistics and consultancy market with a focus on energy, shipping, and sustainability sectors. Its family-owned status and century-long history provide a strong brand legacy. The company leverages a diversified portfolio of subsidiaries and partner companies to extend its service offerings and geographic reach. Revenue streams likely include logistics services, consultancy, technology solutions, and sustainability advisory. The target customers are large enterprises and operators in energy, port management, and transportation industries. The presence of client portals and digital platforms indicates a focus on customer engagement and operational efficiency. Growth indicators include sustainability initiatives and digital innovation. The partnership ecosystem is extensive, supporting integrated logistics solutions.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and no visible exposure of sensitive information. The use of security monitoring tools like Sentry indicates proactive security management. Cookie consent and privacy policies align with GDPR requirements, demonstrating compliance awareness. However, the lack of a published security policy, incident response plan, and vulnerability disclosure mechanism represents gaps in transparency and readiness. The missing WHOIS data for the domain is a concern for domain legitimacy verification. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved by publishing formal security governance documents and contact channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information, including security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Disclose data protection officer contact details to enhance GDPR compliance transparency.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and analytics tools to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform enhanced with performance optimization plugins like WP Rocket. It uses jQuery and integrates analytics and monitoring services such as Google Tag Manager, Hotjar, and Sentry for user behavior analysis and error tracking. The site is mobile responsive with good accessibility features and SEO meta tags including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data for rich search engine results. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified. The site loads quickly and offers a professional user experience. Technical risks are minimal but include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which require ongoing security monitoring.
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.
