76/100

Risk levelLow

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

Stena Line operates a professional ferry travel website targeting customers traveling between France, Ireland, the UK, and Northern Europe. The site offers booking services, route information, and customer support, positioning itself as a major player in the transportation sector. Technically, the website leverages Adobe Experience Manager CMS, integrates modern marketing and analytics tools such as Adobe Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and TradeDoubler, and employs bot protection mechanisms like Google reCAPTCHA and Cloudflare Turnstile. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO and accessibility basics. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforcement and security headers, though explicit security policies and incident response contacts are absent. Privacy compliance is well addressed with a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism and GDPR-aligned privacy policy. However, the absence of WHOIS data for the domain introduces uncertainty about domain legitimacy, warranting further verification. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professionally managed but could improve transparency in security and domain registration details.

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
      • NIST SC-17: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-17: Public Key Infrastructure Certificates

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 market positioning as a large transportation company is supported by a comprehensive digital presence with multiple localized domains and partner sites. The business model focuses on ferry travel bookings and customer service, targeting general travelers in Europe. The use of affiliate marketing and advertising networks indicates a mature marketing ecosystem. The company maintains consistent branding and provides clear navigation to various routes and services. Growth potential is supported by multi-language support and extensive route offerings. Strategic partnerships with booking and travel platforms enhance customer reach and operational efficiency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS, security headers, and bot protection technologies. The use of OneTrust for cookie consent and GDPR compliance indicates attention to privacy regulations. However, the lack of published security policies, incident response procedures, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms limits transparency and preparedness perception. No obvious vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The security score is high but could be improved by adding explicit security documentation and direct security contact channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  2. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  3. Provide a direct security contact email (e.g., security@stenaline.fr) for incident reporting.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards for inclusivity.
  5. Verify and publish domain registration details to improve trust and legitimacy.

Key observations

  1. Website is professionally designed and content-rich for ferry travel services.
  2. Strong use of modern marketing and analytics tools.
  3. Good privacy and cookie consent implementation.
  4. No direct security policy or incident response info found.
  5. WHOIS data unavailable, which is a concern for domain legitimacy verification.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager, a robust enterprise CMS, ensuring scalability and content management efficiency. Integration with multiple third-party marketing and analytics tools is well executed, supporting data-driven decision-making. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and mobile optimization. The site uses modern security features and consent management tools. Technical risks include reliance on multiple external scripts which require regular security audits. The absence of WHOIS data is a technical gap affecting domain trust verification. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced transparency and continuous security monitoring.
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.
