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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  2. 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

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

Tankship Management Ltd. operates in the transportation sector, focusing on maritime ship management and related consultancy services. Their market positioning is that of an established small enterprise with over 20 years of experience, targeting ship owners and maritime industry clients. The business model centers on service provision with key revenue streams from ship management, regulatory compliance, crew management, and surveying services. The company maintains partnerships and certifications that enhance credibility. Growth indicators include a maintained web presence, ISO certification, and active social media channels. Strategic observations suggest a focus on quality and compliance as competitive advantages.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate. The website uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and implements a GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism. However, it lacks several recommended security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, which could mitigate common web vulnerabilities. There is no visible security policy or incident response contact information, which limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. No exposed credentials or sensitive data were found. Compliance with GDPR is indicated but could be strengthened with clearer documentation. Overall, the security posture is adequate but would benefit from enhancements in headers and incident response preparedness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Conduct regular vulnerability assessments and update all plugins and libraries to mitigate risks from outdated components.
  4. Enhance SEO and accessibility features to improve user experience and compliance with web standards.
  5. Maintain and promote trust indicators such as certifications and transparent privacy practices to strengthen business credibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality and Elementor for page building, supported by jQuery and Bootstrap frameworks. The technology stack is current and widely supported, facilitating ease of maintenance and scalability. Performance is moderate, with some optimization opportunities in loading speed and SEO metadata completeness. Mobile responsiveness is good, ensuring accessibility across devices. The site uses a cookie consent plugin to comply with privacy regulations. Technical risks include the absence of some security headers and potential plugin vulnerabilities if not regularly updated. Overall, the infrastructure is solid but could benefit from technical hardening and SEO improvements.
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.
