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 company operates in the transportation sector, specifically marine insurance, with a business model focused on providing P&I insurance coverage and support services to maritime stakeholders. The domain registration is consistent with the business age and shows no privacy protection, indicating transparency. The website's content is professionally branded and consistent, though somewhat basic in depth. The presence of social media, particularly Twitter, suggests engagement with the marine insurance community. No partner or subsidiary domains were identified, and no affiliate or advertising networks beyond analytics and tracking tools were detected.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS and includes cookie consent mechanisms, which are positive security and privacy practices. However, the absence of DNSSEC, security headers, and explicit security or incident response policies indicates room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The lack of a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file suggests limited transparency in security incident handling. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced by implementing recommended best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to harden the website against common attacks.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to demonstrate security maturity and readiness.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website employs a modern tech stack including Google Tag Manager, Cookiebot, Hotjar, Adobe Typekit, Google Fonts, and FontAwesome icons. Hosting is provided via IONOS SE, a reputable registrar and hosting provider. The site shows good mobile optimization and SEO practices with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts to improve page load times. Accessibility is basic but present. No CMS or specific frameworks were detected from the provided HTML snippet. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and richer content.
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.
