Low risk. 1 critical or high finding in SSL/TLS.

Security score

86/100

Risk levelLow

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

The Shipowners' Club website presents a professional maritime insurance business offering cover and insurance services to vessel owners, operators, and charterers worldwide. The site is well-structured with clear descriptions of its core business focus in the transportation sector. The technical infrastructure leverages Concrete CMS, Bootstrap, jQuery, and integrates Google Tag Manager and Cookiebot for analytics and cookie consent management, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented; however, the absence of security headers and lack of visible privacy policy or terms of service pages highlight areas for improvement. The missing WHOIS data for the domain raises concerns about domain registration transparency, which impacts overall trustworthiness. Strategic recommendations include publishing comprehensive privacy and security policies, enhancing security headers, and providing clear contact information to improve compliance and user trust.

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 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  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.

    • 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

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 Shipowners' Club operates in the niche maritime insurance market, targeting vessel owners, operators, and charterers globally. Its business model centers on providing specialized insurance cover, positioning itself as a trusted provider within the transportation sector. The website content and branding are consistent and professional, supporting a medium-sized enterprise profile. The use of Google Tag Manager and Cookiebot suggests an awareness of marketing and compliance needs, though the lack of detailed business registration or contact information limits transparency. No evident partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the website content. The company appears focused on maintaining a professional online presence with moderate technical sophistication.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and implements a cookie consent mechanism, which are positive security and privacy practices. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection reduces the overall security posture. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy is present, and no explicit incident response contacts are provided. The WHOIS data is missing, which may indicate privacy protection or registration issues, impacting trust. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be significantly improved by adopting best practices in headers, transparency, and incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the website.
  2. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  3. Provide clear and verified contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security inquiries.
  4. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and incident reporting.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure no vulnerabilities or privacy issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Concrete CMS with front-end technologies including Bootstrap, jQuery, and FontAwesome, indicating a modern but standard tech stack. Google Tag Manager and Cookiebot are integrated for analytics and cookie management. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and includes SEO meta tags and Open Graph tags for social sharing. Performance appears moderate based on included scripts and CSS. Accessibility features are basic but present. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the HTML content. The absence of visible security headers and WHOIS data are technical risks that should be addressed to enhance security and trust.
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.
