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

The website fr.alpinecars.be serves as the official French-language portal for Alpine sports cars in Belgium, operated under the Renault Group umbrella. It provides comprehensive information about Alpine's vehicle models, motorsport activities including Formula 1 and WEC, connected services, financing options, and brand heritage. The site targets French-speaking automotive enthusiasts and potential customers in Belgium, positioning Alpine as a premium sports car brand with a strong motorsport presence. Technically, the website is built using modern web technologies including React and leverages CDN infrastructure from Renault Group. It employs responsive design and modern image formats like WebP for performance optimization. Cookie consent is managed via OneTrust, and analytics are implemented using Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics, indicating a moderate level of user tracking. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and implements cookie consent mechanisms, but lacks visible security headers in the HTML content. No forms or direct contact information are present on the homepage, limiting data collection risks but also reducing transparency for user support. WHOIS data is restricted due to DNS Belgium policies, but the domain is a legitimate subdomain of alpinecars.be, supporting the site's authenticity. Overall, the website demonstrates a good balance of content quality, technical implementation, and business credibility. However, improvements could be made by publishing explicit privacy and terms of service policies, enhancing security headers, and providing clearer contact channels for users and security incidents.

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. 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

    • 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube

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

  2. 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 premium sports car brand under Renault Group, focusing on high-performance vehicles and motorsport engagement. The website reflects a business model centered on brand promotion, customer engagement through connected services, and financing solutions. The presence of motorsport-related content and partnerships with racing series indicates a strategic emphasis on brand prestige and community building. The target market is French-speaking Belgium, with potential expansion through digital channels. The use of Renault's CDN and infrastructure suggests integration within a larger corporate ecosystem, enabling scalability and reliability. The absence of direct sales or e-commerce functionality on the site implies a focus on lead generation and brand experience rather than direct transactions.

Security posture

The website maintains a solid security posture with mandatory HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms in place. The absence of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options in the HTML source is a minor gap that could be addressed to enhance protection against common web attacks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. The lack of explicit security or incident response policies and contact channels reduces transparency and preparedness for security incidents. Overall, the site is secure for typical user interactions but would benefit from enhanced security headers and published security policies to align with best practices and compliance requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the homepage.
  2. Implement and verify security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen web security.
  3. Provide clear contact information including emails or phone numbers for customer support and security incident reporting.
  4. Enhance transparency by publishing a security policy and incident response plan on the website.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure compliance with privacy regulations and minimize user tracking.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React framework with extensive use of JavaScript and optimized image formats such as WebP. It leverages Renault Group's CDN for content delivery, ensuring fast load times and high availability. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and preloading of critical assets for performance. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, canonical links, and structured data in JSON-LD format. Cookie consent is managed by OneTrust, indicating compliance with EU cookie regulations. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary solution. The technical infrastructure is robust, but the lack of visible security headers and direct contact forms indicates areas for technical improvement to enhance security and user 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.
