Risk levelLow

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

AUDI AG operates the Audi MediaCenter as a professional communication platform targeting media professionals worldwide. The website provides comprehensive access to press releases, images, videos, and publications related to Audi and its subsidiaries, reinforcing Audi's position as a leading premium automotive brand. The platform is well-designed, mobile-optimized, and offers clear navigation and search capabilities. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies including lazy loading, custom fonts, and privacy management scripts, ensuring good performance and user experience. Security posture is strong with HTTPS, security headers, and cookie consent mechanisms in place, although explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not publicly available. The absence of WHOIS registration data is a notable anomaly that slightly reduces business credibility but does not detract from the overall professionalism and trustworthiness of the site. Strategic recommendations include publishing dedicated security and vulnerability disclosure policies and improving transparency on data protection officer contacts.

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. 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 384-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Audi MediaCenter serves as a centralized media hub for AUDI AG, supporting its global communications strategy. The platform enhances Audi's brand visibility and media engagement by providing timely and rich content. Audi's market position as a premium automotive manufacturer is supported by a strong digital presence and a network of subsidiaries including Lamborghini, Bentley, Ducati, and Italdesign. The business model focuses on corporate communications and media relations rather than direct sales. The site reflects Audi's commitment to sustainability, innovation, and motorsport, aligning with its corporate values and market positioning. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the main site suggests controlled communication channels, typical for corporate media platforms.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, multiple security headers, and a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the lack of a published security policy, incident response information, and vulnerability disclosure program indicates areas for improvement in transparency and readiness. The missing WHOIS data raises questions about domain registration transparency but does not directly impact the site's technical security. Overall, the site is secure for its intended use but could enhance trust by publishing more detailed security and incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact details to facilitate reporting of security issues.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  4. Add data protection officer contact information to improve GDPR compliance transparency.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and tracking technologies for security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The Audi MediaCenter website is built with modern web standards including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. It uses lazy loading for images to optimize performance and employs a custom font for branding consistency. The site includes a responsive design that adapts well to mobile devices and incorporates accessibility features such as ARIA roles and keyboard focus styles. The presence of privacy management scripts indicates attention to user consent and data protection. No CMS or hosting provider details were explicitly detected. Performance appears fast with efficient resource loading. Technical risks are minimal but could include dependencies on external privacy and tracking scripts which should be regularly audited.
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.
