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

Tarbit Shipping AB is a Swedish company specializing in high-heat tanker shipping, with a history dating back to 1947. The company operates a specialized fleet designed for transporting asphalt, petroleum products, chemicals, and coal tar products, emphasizing safe and environmentally responsible transportation, including pioneering LNG-fueled tankers. The website reflects a medium-sized enterprise with a professional online presence, targeting clients requiring specialized shipping services with environmental considerations. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with a modern plugin ecosystem including LayerSlider, Revolution Slider, and Bootstrap. The site is mobile-optimized and offers good user experience and navigation clarity. However, performance is moderate, and accessibility features are basic. SEO optimization is present but could be improved. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS but lacks important security headers and visible security policies. There is no privacy or cookie policy, nor any incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which indicates gaps in compliance and security posture. No contact emails or phone numbers are explicitly provided, limiting direct communication channels. Overall, the website is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance, security best practices, and clearer contact information to improve trust and regulatory adherence.

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

11 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

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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"

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

Tarbit Shipping AB holds a strong market position in the specialized tanker shipping sector, with a legacy since 1947 and a focus on environmentally friendly shipping solutions such as LNG-fueled tankers. The business model centers on providing high-heat tanker transportation services to industries requiring safe and specialized cargo handling. The company targets industrial clients with environmental awareness and specialized shipping needs. The website content and structure support this positioning, though direct contact details and social proof elements are limited. There is no evidence of extensive partnerships or subsidiaries from the website content. Growth indicators include innovation in fuel technology and a continuous improvement program for fleet safety and environmental compliance.

Security posture

The current security posture of the website is moderate but has notable gaps. HTTPS is implemented, which is essential, but the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces protection against common web attacks. The lack of visible privacy and cookie policies, incident response plans, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates limited compliance with GDPR and best security practices. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The site uses several third-party plugins, which require regular updates to mitigate risks. Overall, the security culture appears basic, with room for significant improvement in transparency and technical safeguards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance web security.
  3. Provide clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure information, including a security.txt file and dedicated contact channels.
  4. Include explicit company contact emails and phone numbers on the website to improve communication and trust.
  5. Regularly audit and update all WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities and maintain security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, and multiple slider and grid plugins. The site is mobile-optimized and offers a good user experience with clear navigation and professional design. Performance is moderate, likely due to multiple heavy plugins such as Revolution Slider and LayerSlider. Accessibility features are basic and could be enhanced. SEO is implemented at a basic level with meta tags and structured navigation but lacks advanced optimization. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. Technical risks include dependency on multiple third-party plugins which require maintenance to avoid security vulnerabilities.
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.
