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

Wortelboer is a well-established family business specializing in the manufacturing and supply of anchors, anchor chains, and connecting parts for the maritime industry, including commercial shipping, yachting, and offshore sectors. With over 70 years of experience and a strong presence in Rotterdam, the company offers worldwide delivery and maintains a significant stock to ensure fast and reliable service. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, supported by ISO certifications and class certificates from major classification societies, reinforcing its market credibility. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies such as JWPlayer for multimedia, Google Tag Manager and Analytics for tracking, and reCAPTCHA for form security. The site is mobile-optimized with good navigation and SEO practices, although accessibility features could be improved. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and implements reCAPTCHA to protect forms, but lacks explicit security headers and public security policies or incident response information. No vulnerabilities or suspicious content were detected. Privacy compliance is addressed with a cookie consent banner and privacy policy, though GDPR compliance indicators could be more explicit. Overall, Wortelboer presents a trustworthy and professional online presence with a solid business foundation. Strategic improvements in security policies, accessibility, and transparency would further enhance its risk posture and user trust.

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

4 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 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. 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

  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.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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

Wortelboer operates in the transportation sector, focusing on maritime anchoring solutions. Its competitive advantage lies in its extensive experience, ISO certifications, and ability to deliver globally from a well-stocked Rotterdam facility. The business model centers on manufacturing and supplying high-quality anchors and chains, supported by technical services and custom solutions. The company targets commercial shipping companies, yacht builders, and offshore operators. Growth indicators include active participation in maritime trade fairs and a strong social media presence. Partnerships with classification societies and maritime technology organizations enhance its ecosystem and market reach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforcement and use of Google reCAPTCHA for form protection. However, it lacks comprehensive security headers and does not publicly disclose incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies. There is no evidence of a dedicated security contact or data protection officer. The absence of these elements represents a compliance gap, particularly under GDPR and NIS2 frameworks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified. The security culture appears basic but functional, with opportunities to improve transparency and formalize security processes.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to comply with recognized standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities and maintain compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a custom CMS platform utilizing modern front-end technologies including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, jQuery, and JWPlayer for video content. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Analytics for marketing and tracking purposes, and employs Google reCAPTCHA v3 for spam and abuse prevention on forms. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and uses Swiper.js and Fancybox for interactive UI components. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed and accessibility. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and functional user experience but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and performance tuning.
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.
