Risk levelLow

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

Alpine Schweiz operates as the official regional website for the Alpine sports car brand in Switzerland, providing detailed information on their sports car models, motorsport activities including Formula 1 and WEC, and connected services for customers. The site targets automotive enthusiasts and potential buyers interested in premium sports cars and motorsport. The business is positioned as a premium automotive brand under the Renault Group umbrella, with a medium-sized market presence in Switzerland. Technically, the website leverages modern web technologies such as React, uses a CDN hosted by Renault Group, and implements cookie consent via OneTrust, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and Google site verification present, though explicit security headers and incident response policies are not evident. Privacy compliance is partial, with cookie consent but no visible privacy policy or terms of service in the provided content. Overall, the site is professional, well-branded, and trustworthy, but could improve transparency around privacy and security policies.

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 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

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

The Alpine brand is a well-known premium sports car manufacturer with a strong motorsport heritage. The website serves as a key digital touchpoint for Swiss customers, offering product discovery, configuration, financing options, and motorsport news. The business model focuses on brand promotion, customer engagement, and supporting sales through digital channels. Partnerships with racing series and merchandise stores enhance brand ecosystem. The site’s content and navigation are designed to appeal to sports car enthusiasts and motorsport fans, supporting brand loyalty and customer retention. Growth indicators include active motorsport involvement and connected services offerings. The partnership ecosystem includes official merchandise and racing series websites, reinforcing brand presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms in place. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security or incident response policies represent areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The site does not currently provide a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file, which could enhance security transparency and community engagement. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be elevated by adopting additional best practices and publishing clear security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen security posture.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Provide clear contact information for security incidents and data protection officer to enhance incident response readiness.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct regular security audits to maintain high standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using React and modern JavaScript, hosted on Renault Group’s CDN infrastructure, which supports good performance and scalability. The use of WebP images and responsive design indicates attention to mobile optimization and performance. Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics are used for analytics and marketing, reflecting standard digital marketing practices. The site lacks explicit CMS identification but appears custom-built or heavily customized. Technical debt is minimal based on the provided content, though improvements in accessibility and security headers are recommended. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and well-maintained, supporting a positive user experience.
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.
