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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  3. 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

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 company operates in the transportation sector with a medium-sized business model focused on temperature-controlled logistics services. Their competitive advantage lies in specialized temperature modes for cargo and a strong customer service approach with dedicated client managers. Revenue streams likely come from freight transportation, storage services, and express delivery contracts. The target customers are businesses in food, pharmaceutical, and other industries requiring temperature-sensitive logistics. The company maintains subsidiaries in Latvia and Germany, indicating a regional presence. The website content and contact details reinforce a transparent and customer-focused business approach. Partnerships and marketing tools suggest active engagement in digital marketing and lead generation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms from abuse. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security robustness. No explicit security policies or incident response contacts are published, which could be a compliance gap. The domain registration is consistent and protected against unauthorized changes via domain status flags. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The company should enhance security by implementing recommended headers, enabling DNSSEC, and publishing security policies to improve trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Regularly update WordPress core and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance by detailing data retention policies and cookie usage.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with common plugins such as Contact Form 7 and uses modern JavaScript libraries for UI components like Owl Carousel and Fancybox. It integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools including Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and LinkedIn Insight Tag, indicating a mature digital marketing setup. Hosting appears to be managed via GoDaddy with DNS hosted on Microsoft Online name servers. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and deferred emoji scripts. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design elements. Accessibility is basic but could be improved with ARIA roles and better semantic markup. SEO is supported by meta tags, hreflang attributes, and canonical links. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and accessibility 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.
