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

13 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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

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 · found on this site
  • 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

Vestland Marine operates in the transportation sector, specifically maritime ship management. The company leverages a service-based business model focusing on ship technical and crew management. Its market position is that of a niche, experienced player with a history of over two decades. The website content and structure suggest a small-sized company with a clear focus on quality and client accountability. The absence of social media and limited digital marketing tools indicates a traditional approach to business development. The company maintains direct contact channels and a login portal for ship management system users, indicating operational integration with clients. No partnerships or subsidiaries are disclosed on the website.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS usage but lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others. The use of outdated WordPress and jQuery versions increases vulnerability risk. No incident response or security policy information is provided, and no dedicated security contact channels are visible. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates non-compliance with GDPR best practices. No analytics or tracking scripts reduce privacy risks but also limit user behavior insights. Overall, the security maturity is low to moderate, requiring urgent updates and policy implementations to mitigate risks.

Recommendations

  1. Update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to the latest secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and enhance user trust.
  3. Add essential security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, Strict-Transport-Security) to improve security posture.
  4. Establish and disclose an incident response policy and provide dedicated security contact channels.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments to maintain website integrity and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 4.7.29 with jQuery 1.12.4 and uses the Revolution Slider plugin version 5.2.6. It integrates Google Maps API for location display and GSAP libraries for animations. The site is moderately optimized for mobile devices and has a professional design with clear navigation. However, the use of outdated software versions poses security risks and potential compatibility issues. No advanced SEO or accessibility features are evident beyond basic implementations. Performance is moderate, with some optimization via PageSpeed indicated but no advanced caching or CDN usage detected. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical infrastructure is functional but requires modernization and security hardening.
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.
