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

The business model focuses on passenger and freight ferry transport with online booking capabilities and loyalty programs. Stena Line leverages partnerships and subsidiary domains for travel and booking services, enhancing customer experience. The company targets a broad audience including tourists, commuters, and commercial clients. Its digital presence is mature, integrating advanced CMS, marketing, and analytics tools to optimize user engagement and conversion. The company’s long history and transparent domain registration reinforce its credibility and trustworthiness in the transportation sector.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a strong security posture with HTTPS enforcement, comprehensive security headers, bot protection via reCAPTCHA and Cloudflare Turnstile, and cookie consent management through OneTrust. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of a public security policy or vulnerability disclosure program suggests room for improvement in transparency and incident response readiness. Overall, the site aligns well with GDPR compliance and industry best practices, supporting a secure user experience.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page to enhance transparency and user trust.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Provide explicit incident response contact information for security issues.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance monitoring and validation of user input fields to prevent injection attacks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager, a robust enterprise CMS, ensuring scalability and content management efficiency. It uses modern JavaScript libraries and integrates multiple marketing and analytics platforms such as Adobe Launch, TikTok Pixel, Facebook Pixel, and Kameleoon for personalization and A/B testing. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features. Hosting appears to be supported by Cloudflare, providing performance and security benefits. Performance is moderate, with opportunities to optimize loading times further. The technical infrastructure supports a professional and user-friendly digital experience aligned with business goals.
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.
