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

Alpine-cars.co.uk is the official UK website for the Alpine brand, a sports car manufacturer and motorsport participant under the Renault Group umbrella. The site offers comprehensive information on Alpine's sports car models, connected services, financial offers, and motorsport activities including Formula 1, WEC, and esports. The website targets sports car enthusiasts and potential buyers in the UK market, positioning itself as a premium automotive brand with a strong motorsport heritage. Technically, the website is built using modern web technologies including React, and leverages Renault Group's CDN infrastructure for hosting. It employs Google Analytics and Tag Manager for analytics and tracking, and uses OneTrust for cookie consent management. The site is mobile-optimized, fast-loading, and SEO-friendly, with good accessibility features. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and includes a cookie consent mechanism, but lacks explicit security headers and published security policies or incident response contacts. The WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable due to a domain registration failure, which raises some concerns about domain legitimacy despite the professional and branded content. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy in content and design but would benefit from improved transparency in privacy, security policies, and domain registration legitimacy to enhance trust and compliance.

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

1 finding 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"

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

Alpine operates as a specialized automotive brand focused on sports cars and motorsport, leveraging its parent company Renault Group's resources and infrastructure. The business model includes direct consumer engagement through vehicle information, connected services, and financing options. Alpine also actively promotes its motorsport involvement and customer racing programs, enhancing brand loyalty and community engagement. The presence of partner domains related to racing series indicates a strong ecosystem partnership strategy. The website's content and structure reflect a medium-sized enterprise with a clear focus on the UK market and a premium positioning in the automotive sector.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, indicating awareness of basic security and privacy requirements. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security or incident response policies represent gaps in security best practices. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The missing WHOIS data and domain registration issues pose a risk factor in domain trustworthiness. Compliance with GDPR is implied but not explicitly documented, and no data protection officer contact was found. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be significantly improved with enhanced transparency and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy detailing data processing and GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen browser security.
  3. Provide clear contact information including security incident response and abuse reporting channels.
  4. Resolve domain registration inconsistencies or migrate to a properly registered domain to improve trustworthiness.
  5. Enhance transparency around data retention policies and user data protection measures.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React framework with asynchronous loading of scripts and optimized image delivery using WebP format. It uses Renault Group's CDN for hosting static assets, ensuring fast content delivery. Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics are integrated for user behavior tracking. The site is mobile responsive and includes accessibility considerations. However, no CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary solution. Performance is optimized with preloading of critical assets and fonts. Technical risks include lack of some security headers and incomplete WHOIS domain registration, which could impact long-term operational stability and trust.
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.
