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

Reliance International Shipping & Travel Limited (RIST Limited) is a UK-based logistics and shipping service provider established in 2015. The company offers a range of services including sea freight, air freight, vehicle shipping, personal effects shipping, warehousing, and airline ticketing. Positioned as a global logistics solutions provider, RIST Limited targets businesses and individuals requiring reliable and cost-effective shipping worldwide. The website presents a professional image with clear service descriptions and contact information, supporting its market positioning. Technically, the website uses a modern tech stack including Bootstrap, jQuery, and Owl Carousel, providing a responsive and user-friendly experience. However, there is no evidence of a CMS or advanced hosting details. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization but basic accessibility and SEO features. The site lacks advanced analytics or tracking tools, indicating minimal user tracking. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS but lacks visible security headers and formal privacy or cookie policies, which are critical for compliance and user trust. The absence of WHOIS data raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy, impacting overall trustworthiness. No incident response or security policy information is provided, limiting transparency on security readiness. Overall, the website is functional and professional but requires improvements in privacy compliance, security best practices, and domain legitimacy verification to enhance trust and reduce risk. Strategic recommendations include implementing security headers, publishing privacy and cookie policies, verifying domain registration, and establishing incident response contacts.

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. 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)

      • 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

  2. 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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

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.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

RIST Limited operates in the transportation sector focusing on global logistics and shipping. Its competitive advantage lies in offering a comprehensive suite of services with a global network of agents and partners. The business model is service-oriented, targeting both corporate clients and individuals. Revenue streams likely include freight charges, warehousing fees, and airline ticket sales. The company demonstrates growth potential through diversified services and partnerships with news outlets related to Sierra Leone, indicating a niche market focus. However, the lack of visible certifications or compliance badges may limit appeal to larger corporate clients. The partnership ecosystem includes related news domains and a travel service subdomain, supporting cross-service offerings. Strategic observations suggest the company should enhance digital trust signals and compliance to strengthen market position.

Security posture

The current security posture of the website is moderate but with notable gaps. HTTPS is presumably enabled, but no HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options are detected, which are essential to mitigate common web attacks. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates non-compliance with GDPR and other data protection regulations. No incident response or abuse contact information is provided, reducing transparency and readiness for security incidents. The newsletter form collects emails but lacks visible consent mechanisms. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were found, which is positive. Overall, the security maturity level is basic, with significant room for improvement in compliance, policy transparency, and technical defenses.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Publish clear privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance statements and consent mechanisms.
  3. Verify and update domain WHOIS registration information to ensure legitimacy and transparency.
  4. Add incident response and abuse contact information to improve security readiness and user trust.
  5. Enhance accessibility and SEO features to improve compliance and user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using standard web technologies including Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for scripting, and Owl Carousel for interactive elements. The HTML structure is valid and supports mobile devices well. However, there is no evidence of a CMS or advanced hosting provider information. Performance is moderate with no major errors or broken elements detected. SEO optimization is basic with meta tags present but no structured data or Open Graph tags found. Accessibility features are minimal, suggesting potential improvements for compliance with standards such as WCAG. The site uses external links primarily to news domains and a travel subdomain, indicating a focused but limited external ecosystem. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected, implying minimal user data collection.
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.
