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

The Allgemeiner Deutscher Automobil-Club (ADAC) is a well-established German automobile club providing a wide range of services including membership benefits, insurance products, travel planning, vehicle leasing, and roadside assistance. The website serves as a comprehensive portal for these services, targeting automobile owners, travelers, and insurance customers primarily in Germany. ADAC holds a strong market position as a leading mobility service provider with a large membership base and multiple subsidiaries supporting its operations. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies such as React and Webpack, with a focus on performance, accessibility, and mobile optimization. The use of Kameleoon indicates active engagement in personalization and A/B testing to enhance user experience. Hosting appears to be managed by a reputable provider, and the site uses HTTPS with strong security headers, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. From a security perspective, ADAC demonstrates good practices including HTTPS enforcement, security headers, and secure form implementations. However, there is no explicit public vulnerability disclosure policy or incident response contact, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. Privacy compliance is strong with comprehensive privacy and cookie policies aligned with GDPR requirements. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and secure, supporting ADAC's business credibility and user trust. Strategic recommendations include publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy, enhancing incident response transparency, and continuous security audits of third-party scripts to maintain and improve security posture.

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

3 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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

ADAC operates as a large essential entity in the transportation and insurance sectors, leveraging a membership-based business model. Its competitive advantage lies in its long history, brand recognition, and comprehensive service offerings spanning automotive, travel, insurance, and financial products. Revenue streams include membership fees, insurance premiums, travel bookings, and vehicle leasing. The target customer segments are broad, including individual vehicle owners, families, travelers, and businesses. Growth indicators include digital transformation efforts and partnerships with specialized service providers. The partnership ecosystem includes subsidiaries and external vendors for vehicle rental and electric vehicle products. Strategic observations highlight ADAC's focus on digital maturity and customer-centric services to maintain market leadership.

Security posture

The security maturity level of ADAC's website is good, with HTTPS and multiple security headers implemented. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. The use of secure forms with ARIA attributes supports accessibility and security. Compliance with GDPR is evident through detailed privacy and cookie policies. However, the absence of a public vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact channels represents a compliance gap and potential risk. The security culture appears proactive but could benefit from enhanced transparency and formalized incident response mechanisms. Overall, the security posture supports business continuity and user trust but has room for improvement in disclosure and response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a formal vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance transparency on data retention policies and user data handling practices.
  5. Invest in continuous security training and awareness to strengthen the security culture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website infrastructure is modern and robust, utilizing React for frontend rendering and Webpack for module bundling. The presence of Kameleoon indicates advanced personalization and A/B testing capabilities. Hosting is managed by a professional provider with multiple nameservers ensuring redundancy. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. Technical debt appears low, but opportunities exist to improve SEO metadata completeness and implement a CMS with better content management capabilities. Technical risks are minimal but include reliance on third-party scripts which require ongoing security monitoring.
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.
