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

Spliethoff is a well-established Dutch shipping company specializing in worldwide dry cargo ocean transport. With a fleet of over 50 modern vessels and a history dating back to 1921, the company positions itself as a reliable and high-quality partner in the maritime transport sector. Their website reflects a professional and comprehensive digital presence, targeting businesses requiring specialized cargo shipping services across various market segments including bulk cargo, containers, metals, and project cargo. Technically, the website employs modern frontend technologies such as Tailwind CSS, Alpine.js, and Swiper JS, alongside Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for marketing and analytics purposes. The site is mobile responsive, well-structured, and optimized for SEO, providing a good user experience. Privacy compliance is evident through a cookie consent banner and a detailed privacy policy, indicating adherence to GDPR standards. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and implements secure forms with anti-forgery tokens. However, it lacks explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could enhance protection. The absence of WHOIS data transparency reduces domain trust slightly, though the website content and business information strongly support legitimacy. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with strong business credibility and good technical implementation. Strategic improvements in security headers and WHOIS transparency would further enhance trust and security posture.

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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  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

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

Business profile

Spliethoff operates in the transportation sector with a focus on maritime dry cargo shipping. Their business model revolves around providing specialized ocean transport services with a large fleet of multipurpose vessels. The company targets global businesses needing reliable shipping solutions for various cargo types. Their market position is strong, supported by a long operational history and a reputation for quality. The website indicates active engagement in sustainability and corporate governance, which aligns with modern market expectations. The presence of multiple social media channels and detailed trade route information suggests a mature partnership ecosystem and a focus on customer engagement. Revenue streams likely include freight services, project cargo handling, and specialized sealift operations. The company shows signs of growth and expansion, particularly in the Americas and UK markets, as evidenced by recent news updates.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent mechanisms are in place, reflecting awareness of privacy and security compliance. Secure forms with anti-forgery tokens reduce risk of CSRF attacks. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options is a gap that could expose the site to clickjacking, MIME sniffing, and other web-based attacks. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is publicly available, which limits transparency and readiness perception. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML source. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be improved by implementing recommended headers and publishing incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance web security.
  2. Publish an incident response page or contact email to improve transparency and readiness for security incidents.
  3. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration details to improve domain transparency and trustworthiness.
  5. Continue maintaining GDPR compliance and enhance user privacy controls where possible.

Notes

The website uses a modern and maintainable tech stack with Tailwind CSS for styling, Alpine.js for interactivity, and Swiper JS for carousels. Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics are integrated for marketing analytics. The site is mobile responsive and optimized for SEO with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Forms include anti-forgery tokens indicating backend security considerations. Performance is moderate, with video backgrounds and images optimized for different screen sizes. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. The site could benefit from additional security headers and performance optimizations to improve loading speed further.
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.
