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

SeaTech Consortium is a research-focused organization funded by Horizon 2020, dedicated to developing innovative ship engine and propulsion technologies aimed at improving fuel efficiency and reducing emissions in the maritime sector. The consortium targets stakeholders in the maritime, energy, and transportation industries, positioning itself as a specialized innovator in short-sea ship dual-fuel engine retrofits and bio-mimetic wing propulsion systems. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear messaging about its mission and funded projects. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the OceanWP theme and Elementor page builder, incorporating modern web technologies such as jQuery and Wistia for video content. SEO is enhanced through Yoast SEO plugin, and cookie consent is managed via OneTrust, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. The site is mobile-optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with anonymized IP tracking in Google Analytics and implements cookie consent mechanisms. However, it lacks explicit security headers, published security policies, and incident response contacts, which are areas for improvement. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious activities were detected. Overall, the website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture and business credibility but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance documentation and explicit security policies to strengthen trust and regulatory adherence.

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

  1. 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.

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

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

SeaTech Consortium operates as a small, specialized research entity funded by the European Union's Horizon 2020 program. Its competitive advantage lies in its focus on maritime propulsion innovations that address environmental concerns such as fuel efficiency and emissions reduction. The consortium's business model revolves around collaborative research and development, targeting maritime operators and energy sectors interested in sustainable technologies. The presence of partners and publications indicates an active research ecosystem. Growth indicators include ongoing project updates and a professional digital presence. Strategic partnerships and EU funding enhance its market position, although direct commercial activities or revenue streams are not evident from the website content.

Security posture

The website exhibits a foundational security posture with mandatory HTTPS encryption and cookie consent compliance via OneTrust. The absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement in mitigating common web vulnerabilities. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The lack of published security policies and incident response contacts indicates limited transparency in security governance. Compliance with GDPR is partially indicated through cookie consent but lacks comprehensive privacy policy documentation. Overall, the security maturity is moderate, suitable for an informational research site but requiring enhancements for higher assurance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy detailing data collection, usage, and user rights to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance web security.
  3. Establish and publish an incident response policy with clear contact channels for security issues to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Add explicit terms of service to clarify user rights and obligations when interacting with the website.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and update third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using the OceanWP theme and Elementor page builder, which facilitates flexible content management and responsive design. Integration of Yoast SEO indicates attention to search engine optimization. The use of Wistia for video hosting provides efficient media delivery. Google Analytics is employed for visitor tracking with anonymized IP settings, reflecting privacy-conscious analytics implementation. Cookie consent is managed by OneTrust, a recognized compliance tool. Hosting appears to be via WP Engine or a similar managed WordPress host, inferred from internal links. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected, though optimization opportunities exist in accessibility and explicit security configurations. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business goals effectively but could benefit from enhanced security and privacy features.
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.
