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. 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

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  4. 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 · 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

Wallenius Lines operates as an essential entity within the transportation sector, leveraging investment and ownership of specialized Ro-Ro vessels. Their competitive advantage lies in their pioneering role and ongoing innovation in shipping logistics. The business model centers on vessel ownership and logistics solutions, serving automotive manufacturers and global shipping partners. The company maintains a medium-sized profile with a subsidiary, Wallenius Marine, and a consistent brand presence. The website content is relevant and professionally presented, supporting their market positioning and growth strategy.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms, and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism via Cookiebot. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of explicit security policies and incident response information suggests room for improvement in transparency and preparedness. Security headers are not explicitly declared in the HTML, which could be enhanced to strengthen protection against common web threats. Overall, the security measures align well with industry best practices but could benefit from additional documentation and header implementation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance website accessibility compliance to improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Consider adding direct contact information such as verified company emails and phone numbers for better user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using WPBakery Page Builder and Slider Revolution, supported by jQuery and Google reCAPTCHA for security. Cookiebot manages cookie consent, ensuring GDPR compliance. Analytics are handled by Matomo, hosted on rackfish.com. The site demonstrates moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Hosting details are not explicitly disclosed but inferred from analytics domain. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, though some improvements in accessibility and explicit security header implementation are recommended to reduce technical debt and enhance resilience.
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.
