Risk levelHigh

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

Shoreline (UK) Ltd. is a specialized manufacturer of refrigeration equipment serving marine and medical markets. Their product lines include 12/24 Volt DC fridges and freezers for yachts, canal boats, motorhomes, and trucks, as well as medical refrigeration units for hospitals, clinics, laboratories, and veterinary surgeries. Established in 1996, the company emphasizes UK-based manufacturing and quality standards. The website reflects a focused business model targeting niche markets with clear contact information and separate dedicated domains for their marine and medical divisions. Technically, the website uses standard HTML, CSS, and Adobe Typekit fonts but lacks advanced frameworks or CMS indications. The site is accessible without WAF or blocking mechanisms but shows limited mobile optimization and basic SEO. Security posture is weak due to missing HTTPS confirmation, lack of security headers, and absence of privacy or cookie policies. WHOIS data is unavailable, raising concerns about domain registration legitimacy. Overall, the site is professional but requires improvements in security, compliance, and technical modernization.

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

9 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)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • 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
    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • 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. 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

  3. 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"

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

Shoreline operates in the manufacturing sector with a niche focus on marine and medical refrigeration equipment. Their market positioning is that of an established UK manufacturer with a reputation for quality and customer satisfaction. The business model centers on direct manufacturing and sales, targeting specialized customer segments such as yacht owners and medical institutions. The presence of separate partner domains for marine and medical divisions suggests a segmented approach to market outreach. The company appears small in size but well-established since 1996. Lack of visible certifications or compliance documentation may limit trust in regulated markets. The absence of social media and analytics tools indicates a low digital marketing footprint. Strategic partnerships appear limited to internal brand divisions.

Security posture

The website's security posture is currently weak. There is no evidence of HTTPS enforcement or SSL/TLS configuration, no security headers detected, and no published privacy or cookie policies. The absence of vulnerability disclosure or incident response information further reduces security maturity. No forms or user input fields are present, reducing attack surface but also limiting user engagement. The missing WHOIS data for the domain is a significant red flag, potentially indicating domain registration issues or privacy protection that is not justified. Overall, the site lacks modern security best practices and compliance indicators, exposing the business to reputational and operational risks.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate and enforce secure connections site-wide.
  2. Add standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and build user trust.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy and provide incident response contact information.
  5. Verify and update domain registration details to ensure WHOIS data is accurate and publicly available.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with basic HTML and CSS, enhanced by Adobe Typekit fonts for typography. There is no indication of a CMS or advanced JavaScript frameworks. Performance is moderate with basic mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is minimal but includes meta description and keywords. No analytics or tracking scripts are present, indicating minimal user data collection. The site links to two partner domains representing specialized divisions. Hosting provider and infrastructure details are not discernible. Technical debt appears low but modernization opportunities exist, especially in security and mobile responsiveness.
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.
