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's website reflects a well-established transportation business with a focus on ferry services in Northern Europe. The company benefits from a strong brand presence and a broad route network. The business model centers on direct online bookings and customer service, supported by a multilingual and regionally tailored website. Partnerships with travel and booking platforms enhance customer reach. The use of advanced marketing and analytics tools indicates a data-driven approach to customer engagement and growth. The absence of suspicious domains or privacy protection in WHOIS data supports legitimacy and transparency. The company targets a broad audience of travelers, including tourists and commuters, positioning itself competitively in the European ferry market.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and bot mitigation via Google reCAPTCHA and Cloudflare Turnstile. Cookie consent is managed through OneTrust, ensuring GDPR compliance. No security.txt or explicit incident response contacts were found, representing an area for improvement. Third-party scripts are used responsibly, but continuous monitoring is recommended to mitigate supply chain risks. No vulnerabilities or exposed credentials were identified in the analyzed content. Overall, the site aligns well with industry best practices for web security and privacy.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide explicit incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to prevent supply chain vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency by including company registration and VAT information on the website.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager, a robust enterprise CMS, ensuring scalability and content management efficiency. Integration with Google reCAPTCHA, Cloudflare Turnstile, Kameleoon, and Adobe Launch demonstrates a modern and sophisticated tech stack. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in loading times. Mobile optimization and accessibility are well addressed, supporting a broad user base. SEO practices are solid, with appropriate meta tags and Open Graph data. Hosting appears to leverage Cloudflare services, enhancing security and performance. Technical risks are minimal but include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which require ongoing security vigilance.
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.
