69/100

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

Shipwaves operates as a digital freight forwarding and logistics solutions provider, targeting businesses requiring international shipping and supply chain optimization. The company offers a comprehensive suite of services including ocean and air freight, land transport, trade finance, warehousing, and customs clearance, supported by a digital platform with real-time tracking and online booking capabilities. Their market position emphasizes technology-enabled, cost-efficient, and integrated logistics solutions primarily serving the Indian and UAE markets. Technically, the website is built on modern frameworks such as Next.js and React, hosted on Vercel, and integrates third-party services like Zoho SalesIQ and Google Maps API. The site demonstrates good performance, mobile optimization, and accessibility, with secure HTTPS connections and validated forms. However, some security best practices like security headers are missing, and no explicit cookie consent mechanism is implemented. From a security perspective, the site maintains a good posture with HTTPS and secure form handling but lacks published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. The absence of WHOIS registration data raises concerns about domain legitimacy, which impacts overall trustworthiness. Privacy compliance is basic, with a privacy policy present but no clear GDPR consent mechanisms. Overall, Shipwaves presents a professional and functional digital logistics platform with solid technical foundations but requires improvements in transparency, privacy compliance, and domain legitimacy verification to enhance trust and security assurance.

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 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

  • SSL/TLS: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

Shipwaves targets the transportation and logistics sector with a digital-first approach, leveraging SaaS solutions to streamline freight forwarding and supply chain management. Their competitive advantage lies in technology integration, transparent pricing, and value-added services such as marine insurance and trade finance. The business model combines direct freight services with enterprise SaaS offerings, appealing to medium-sized businesses and enterprises. The company’s presence in India and UAE suggests a focus on key international trade hubs. Growth indicators include a modern digital platform, real-time tracking, and cloud-based SaaS solutions. The partnership ecosystem includes integrations with Zoho and Google services, though no explicit partners or subsidiaries are listed. Strategic observations highlight the need for enhanced domain legitimacy and privacy compliance to support scaling and customer trust.

Security posture

The security maturity of Shipwaves is moderate to good. The website enforces HTTPS and uses secure forms with client-side validation. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No security or incident response policies are published, and no dedicated security contact channels are provided. The absence of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file limits transparency and responsiveness to security issues. Privacy compliance is partial, with no cookie consent mechanism detected, which may expose the company to GDPR compliance risks. The missing WHOIS data for the domain is a significant red flag affecting trust and legitimacy. Overall, while technical security controls are adequate, governance and compliance aspects require strengthening.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance web security.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to improve transparency and security responsiveness.
  5. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure domain legitimacy and build trust with users and partners.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including React and Next.js, hosted on Vercel, which provides fast and scalable infrastructure. Integration with Zoho SalesIQ enables customer engagement and support, while Google Maps API enhances location-based services. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good accessibility features. Performance is fast with preloading of fonts and stylesheets. However, the absence of a CMS suggests content management may be manual or custom-built. There is no evidence of legacy or vulnerable libraries. Technical risks include missing security headers and lack of privacy consent mechanisms, which could impact compliance and security posture. Opportunities exist to enhance security governance and automate privacy compliance 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.
