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

Audi Centre Hobart is a professional automotive dealership located in Hobart, Australia, specializing in the sale of new and used Audi vehicles, as well as providing vehicle servicing and parts. The website reflects a strong brand alignment with Audi's global standards, offering a user-friendly experience with clear navigation and mobile optimization. The business targets Audi enthusiasts and car buyers in the local market, positioning itself as a trusted local dealer within the transportation sector. Technically, the website is built on Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) Headless CMS and leverages Audi's proprietary feature apps and content delivery networks, ensuring fast performance and modern infrastructure. The site uses Google Tag Manager and Podium for analytics and customer engagement, indicating a mature digital marketing approach. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and employs cookie consent mechanisms, but lacks visible explicit privacy, terms of service, and incident response policies. The WHOIS data is privacy protected, which is justified for this business type, and no suspicious patterns were detected. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved with more transparency and published policies. The overall risk assessment is low, with recommendations focusing on enhancing privacy compliance and security transparency to build further trust with users and regulators.

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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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

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 Centre Hobart operates as an important entity in the automotive transportation sector, serving the Hobart region with a focus on Audi brand vehicles. Its competitive advantage lies in its official partnership with Audi AG, access to authentic Audi products, and comprehensive services including sales, servicing, and parts. Revenue streams likely include new and used vehicle sales, service contracts, and parts sales. The target customer segments are local car buyers, Audi enthusiasts, and electric vehicle customers. Growth indicators include integration with Audi's digital ecosystem and use of modern marketing tools. The partnership ecosystem includes Audi corporate domains and official Audi service providers. Strategic observations suggest a well-positioned dealership with opportunities to enhance digital trust and compliance.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and use of official Audi scripts and CDNs. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the absence of explicit privacy policies, terms of service, security incident response information, and vulnerability disclosure policies indicates gaps in compliance and transparency. There is no visible security.txt file or dedicated security contact, which could impact incident response readiness. The cookie consent mechanism is a positive indicator of privacy awareness. Overall, the security culture appears professional but could benefit from enhanced documentation and user communication.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service on the website to improve transparency and compliance.
  2. Implement and publicly disclose a vulnerability disclosure policy and security incident response procedures.
  3. Add visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options if not already present.
  4. Provide clear contact information for security incidents, including a dedicated security or abuse email address.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure no vulnerable or privacy-invasive components are used.

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.
