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

Auto Steindl GesmbH & Co.KG operates as a regional automotive dealership in Austria, representing major brands such as Volkswagen, SEAT, Škoda, and CUPRA. The company offers a comprehensive range of services including new and used car sales, vehicle servicing, accessories, and financing consultation. Their market position is solid within the transportation sector, targeting car buyers and service customers primarily in Austria. The website reflects a professional business model with clear branding and a good user experience. Technically, the website is built on the Plone CMS platform and leverages modern web technologies such as Google Tag Manager for analytics, OneTrust for cookie consent, and integrates mapping services via Leaflet and Google Maps API. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices and moderate performance. Accessibility is basic but functional. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS with strong security headers and implements cookie consent mechanisms, indicating a good security posture. However, it lacks publicly accessible privacy policies, terms of service, and incident response contacts, which are important for compliance and trust. No vulnerabilities or suspicious activities were detected. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional, with room for improvement in privacy compliance and security transparency. Strategic recommendations include publishing privacy and terms documents, adding a vulnerability disclosure policy, and enhancing accessibility features to strengthen compliance and user trust.

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 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';…

  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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-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

Auto Steindl maintains a strong regional presence in the Austrian automotive market, leveraging partnerships with well-known vehicle brands. Their business model focuses on direct sales and after-sales services, supported by digital tools such as online configurators and test drive bookings. The integration with dasweltauto.at for used car listings expands their market reach. The company targets individual consumers and fleet customers seeking reliable automotive solutions. Growth indicators include a well-maintained website with customer reviews and structured data enhancing search visibility. The partnership ecosystem includes brand manufacturers and used car platforms, supporting a comprehensive customer journey from purchase to service.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforcement and multiple security headers that protect against common web vulnerabilities. The use of OneTrust for cookie consent shows awareness of privacy regulations. However, the absence of a privacy policy and incident response contacts represents compliance gaps, particularly under GDPR and NIS2 frameworks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The site lacks a vulnerability disclosure mechanism, which could hinder coordinated security improvements. Overall, the security culture appears adequate but could benefit from enhanced transparency and formalized policies.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy accessible from the website footer or main navigation.
  2. Add terms of service and security policy pages to improve legal compliance and user trust.
  3. Implement a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Provide explicit incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  5. Enhance website accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Plone CMS, a robust and secure content management system. It uses modern JavaScript libraries including Swiper.js for sliders and Select2 for enhanced select boxes, contributing to a dynamic user interface. Google Tag Manager is deployed for analytics, and OneTrust manages cookie consent, indicating compliance efforts. Mapping features are implemented using Leaflet and Google Maps API, enhancing location-based services. Performance is moderate, with preloading of fonts and images to optimize load times. The site is mobile responsive and SEO optimized with proper meta tags and structured data. Technical risks are minimal, but ongoing maintenance of third-party libraries is recommended to avoid vulnerabilities.
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.
