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

ATR International AG operates as a global trade cooperation entity for leading distributors in the independent automotive aftermarket. Founded in 1967 and headquartered in Denkendorf, Germany, ATR facilitates collaboration among automotive spare parts distributors, manufacturers, suppliers, and independent multi-brand garages. The company focuses on purchasing coordination, digital transformation, workshop concepts, sustainable aftermarket initiatives, and steering committees to strengthen the independent aftermarket and drive collective growth. The website reflects a mature organization with a consistent brand presence and a clear business model centered on trade cooperation rather than direct retail. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS with Bootstrap 5 and incorporates modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Photoswipe. It uses Matomo for analytics, demonstrating a preference for privacy-conscious tracking. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, with a cookie consent mechanism that complies with GDPR requirements. No blocking or WAF challenges were detected, allowing full content access. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and employs cookie consent with opt-in and revocation capabilities. However, it lacks explicit security policy documentation and incident response contact details, which are recommended for enhanced transparency and trust. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the analysis. Overall, ATR International AG presents a professional, trustworthy online presence aligned with its business objectives. Strategic improvements include publishing a dedicated security policy, incident response contacts, and implementing additional security headers to further strengthen its security posture.

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

9 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

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

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 · found on this site
  • 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

ATR International AG holds a strong market position as a cooperative network of automotive aftermarket distributors and partners, leveraging over five decades of experience. Its business model focuses on enabling collaboration and market development rather than direct sales. The company targets distributors, manufacturers, and independent garages, providing services that include purchasing coordination and digitalization initiatives. The presence of shareholder meetings and international events indicates active engagement and growth orientation. The partnership ecosystem includes related domains such as dev-atr.de, supporting sustainability efforts. The website content and structure reflect a medium-sized enterprise with consistent branding and trust signals such as testimonials and social media presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enforcement and GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanisms. The use of Matomo analytics indicates a privacy-conscious approach to user tracking. However, the absence of a published security policy and incident response contact information represents a gap in transparency and readiness. No security headers were detected in the HTML content, suggesting room for improvement in defense-in-depth strategies. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified, and no WAF or blocking mechanisms interfere with site access. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by formalizing security documentation and improving HTTP header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement security HTTP headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Consider creating and publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Maintain and regularly review cookie consent and privacy compliance mechanisms to align with evolving regulations.

Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and user-friendly web presence with opportunities for further optimization in security headers and performance tuning.
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.
