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. 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
    • High

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 10 days

      What to do: Renew SSL certificate before expiration

      • NIS2 21(2)(h)
      • IR 2024/2690 9.2(c): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 9.2(c): Cryptography

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

Stena Line holds a leading position in the Northern European ferry transportation sector, offering extensive routes and travel services. Their business model focuses on passenger and vehicle ferry transport, supplemented by special offers and loyalty programs (Stena MORE). The company operates a large-scale infrastructure supported by a robust digital platform. Partnerships with travel and booking platforms enhance customer experience and operational efficiency. The target market includes European travelers, particularly from Germany and neighboring countries. The website content and linked domains indicate a well-integrated ecosystem supporting bookings, customer service, and marketing efforts.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security foundation with HTTPS enforced, multiple security headers, and bot mitigation via Google reCAPTCHA. The presence of a cookie consent mechanism and privacy policy indicates GDPR awareness. However, the absence of a public security policy, incident response contact, and vulnerability disclosure program suggests room for improvement in transparency and proactive security communication. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The use of reputable third-party services and Cloudflare CDN further enhances security and performance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information to facilitate reporting of security issues.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or publish a security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance website accessibility to meet higher standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and marketing tools to minimize security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager, a robust enterprise CMS, and utilizes Cloudflare for DNS and CDN services, ensuring good performance and security. Integration of multiple analytics and marketing tools such as TikTok Pixel, Facebook Pixel, Adobe Launch, and Kameleoon indicates a mature digital marketing strategy. The site is mobile optimized and includes accessibility features, though these could be improved. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts to enhance speed. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, supporting the business goals effectively.
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.
