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

Alamo Rent A Car Costa Rica, operated by ANC Car S.A., is a medium-sized transportation company specializing in vehicle rentals for tourists and travelers within Costa Rica and internationally. The website offers a comprehensive user experience with multilingual support via Weglot, a reservation widget, and rich content including a blog and tour desk services. The company maintains a professional online presence with clear contact information and social media engagement. Technically, the site is built on Webflow with modern JavaScript libraries and integrates Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced, but lacks some advanced security headers and explicit cookie consent mechanisms. WHOIS data is unavailable, which impacts domain trustworthiness and transparency. Overall, the site is well-designed, user-friendly, and trustworthy, but would benefit from improved privacy compliance and security disclosures.

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. 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"

    • 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 Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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

Alamo Costa Rica holds a strong position in the local car rental market, leveraging the global Alamo brand. Their business model focuses on direct vehicle rentals supported by online reservations and customer service. The company targets tourists and business travelers, offering a wide fleet including SUVs, pickups, vans, and electric vehicles. Partnerships with tour services and local agencies enhance their service offerings. The website content and marketing tools indicate a focus on customer convenience and digital engagement. The absence of WHOIS data is a notable gap in transparency but does not currently detract from operational credibility. Growth potential exists through expanded digital marketing and enhanced privacy/security practices.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data leaks. Use of Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel is standard but requires proper user consent management to comply with privacy regulations. The lack of security headers such as Content Security Policy and HSTS is a missed opportunity to harden the site further. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is published, which could hinder rapid response to security issues. Overall, the site is secure for typical user interactions but should improve transparency and compliance to meet higher security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Add a visible cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy laws.
  3. Publish an incident response policy and vulnerability disclosure program to enhance security transparency.
  4. Verify and publish WHOIS domain registration details to improve trust and legitimacy.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and update third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Webflow CMS platform, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Swiper.js for UI components. It integrates third-party services including Weglot for multilingual support and PartnerBookingKit for reservation management. Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel are used for analytics and marketing tracking. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO metadata and structured content. Hosting appears to be via a CDN, likely Cloudflare, ensuring good performance and availability. However, the site lacks some advanced security headers and explicit privacy consent mechanisms. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could be enhanced with improved security and privacy features.
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.
