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

2 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.

    • 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

  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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

APCOA PARKING holds a strong market position in the transportation sector within the Netherlands, focusing on urban parking solutions. Their business model includes direct consumer parking reservations, subscription services, and value cards, supported by an e-commerce platform. The company maintains partnerships such as Urban Hubs and operates multiple parking locations. The website content and structured data reflect a mature business with consistent branding and trust indicators. Growth potential is supported by digital marketing and customer engagement tools.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, ISO 27001 certification, and use of consent management platforms. Tracking and analytics are implemented responsibly with user consent. However, the absence of explicit incident response contact information and security.txt file represents a compliance gap. Security headers are not explicitly detected and could be enhanced to improve protection against common web threats. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified in the analysis.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Provide explicit incident response contact information on the website for security issues.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.
  5. Continue monitoring and updating third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS with integration of modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery and Bootstrap for responsive design. It uses Google Maps API for location services and multiple marketing and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, Hotjar, and Usercentrics CMP for consent management. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. SEO is supported by structured data and meta tags. There is room for improvement in accessibility and security header implementation. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified from the content.
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.
