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

ADAC e.V. is a large, well-established German automobile club providing a wide range of services including membership benefits, insurance products, travel planning, and mobility-related information. The website is professionally designed with comprehensive content targeting automobile owners, travelers, and insurance customers. Technically, the site uses modern technologies such as React, Contentful CMS, and AWS hosting, with integrations for analytics and marketing tools like Piwik PRO, Google Analytics, and Kameleoon. Security headers are implemented, but the absence of a valid SSL/TLS certificate and HTTPS significantly weakens the security posture. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms are well implemented, indicating good compliance with GDPR. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professional but requires urgent improvement in SSL/TLS configuration to enhance security.

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. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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

  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. 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"

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 holds a leading market position in the German transportation and mobility sector, operating as a non-profit organization with a strong membership base. Its business model revolves around providing automotive assistance, insurance, travel services, and educational content. The organization has multiple subsidiaries and partner domains supporting its diverse service offerings. The website reflects a mature digital presence with extensive content, clear navigation, and active engagement through social media channels. The presence of detailed product and service information, along with event announcements and multimedia content, supports a comprehensive user engagement strategy.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with several security headers in place, including a strict Content-Security-Policy and HSTS header. However, the lack of a valid SSL/TLS certificate and disabled HTTPS protocols represent a critical vulnerability, exposing users to potential data interception and undermining trust. No known vulnerabilities or malware were detected in the provided data. The site lacks explicit incident response contact information and vulnerability disclosure policies, which could be improved to enhance security readiness and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and maintain a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Enable HSTS with includeSubDomains and preload options to enforce secure connections.
  3. Publish a dedicated vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Provide clear incident response contact channels, including security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack including React and Contentful CMS, hosted on AWS infrastructure. It uses advanced content delivery and media management via Cloudinary and CDNs like jsdelivr.net. The site integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools such as Piwik PRO, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, CleverPush, and Kameleoon for personalization and tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with good accessibility and SEO practices. However, performance metrics were not provided, so performance assessment is limited. The absence of SSL/TLS is a significant technical risk that needs immediate remediation.
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.
