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

8 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

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

Windcoop occupies a niche market in sustainable maritime transport, leveraging a cooperative business model (SCIC) to engage a broad base of co-owners and stakeholders. Their competitive advantage lies in pioneering sail-powered cargo ships that significantly reduce environmental impact. Revenue streams include sociétaire investments and cargo transport services. The company actively maintains a partnership ecosystem including eco-design and hosting providers, and engages with media and public through blogs and press. Growth indicators include ongoing fundraising campaigns and plans for fleet expansion. The cooperative governance model enhances stakeholder trust and aligns with their mission of transparency and citizen engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, clientTransferProhibited domain status, and a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represent areas for enhancement. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in security governance. Overall, the security maturity is good but can be improved to meet higher standards and regulatory expectations.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Add security HTTP headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  4. Create and publish a terms of service page to clarify user agreements and legal protections.
  5. Maintain and regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics tools to ensure no vulnerabilities or privacy issues arise.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with modern front-end technologies including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. It uses The SEO Framework plugin for SEO optimization and Matomo for privacy-focused analytics. Google Tag Manager is also deployed for marketing and tracking purposes. The site is well-optimized for performance and mobile responsiveness, with lightweight pages (~135 KB) and eco-design principles. Hosting details are not explicit but domain registrar is Gandi SAS. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, though security enhancements such as DNSSEC and additional HTTP headers are advisable to reduce risk.
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.
