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

AutoCheck.com is an online service providing vehicle history reports primarily targeting vehicle buyers and automotive industry stakeholders. The website offers key services such as vehicle history data and analytics to assist in used vehicle assessments. The site demonstrates a moderate level of digital maturity, utilizing modern web technologies including Bootstrap, Google Analytics, and Google reCAPTCHA for user experience and security. The website is well-designed with good navigation and mobile optimization, supporting a positive user experience. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and Content Security Policy implemented, though additional security headers could enhance protection. Privacy compliance is lacking, with no visible privacy or cookie policies, which is a notable gap. Overall, the website appears professional and trustworthy, but the absence of WHOIS data and privacy documentation suggests areas for improvement in transparency and compliance.

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

5 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  2. 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

  3. 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.

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  4. 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

AutoCheck.com operates in the transportation sector, focusing on vehicle history reporting. The business model revolves around providing data services to consumers and dealerships. While the website content is relevant and professional, the lack of explicit business registration or contact information limits deeper business intelligence insights. The integration of Google Analytics indicates a focus on user behavior tracking and marketing optimization. The absence of partner or subsidiary domains suggests a standalone operation or limited public partnerships. The company targets vehicle buyers and automotive professionals, positioning itself as a trusted source for vehicle history data.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and a Content Security Policy, indicating a baseline security posture. Google reCAPTCHA integration helps mitigate automated abuse. However, the absence of additional security headers such as X-Frame-Options and Strict-Transport-Security reduces defense-in-depth. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. Privacy compliance is weak, with no visible privacy or cookie policies, which may expose the company to regulatory risks. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, limiting assessment of security governance. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could benefit from enhanced headers and documented policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Add additional HTTP security headers including X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish clear contact information including security incident response contacts and data protection officer details if applicable.
  4. Improve accessibility features to meet recognized standards and enhance user inclusivity.
  5. Consider WHOIS data transparency or registrar information updates to improve domain trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end stack with Bootstrap 4.2.1 for responsive design and FontAwesome for icons. Google Analytics and Google reCAPTCHA are integrated for analytics and bot protection respectively. The site loads multiple JavaScript chunks indicating modular code splitting for performance. The Content Security Policy is permissive but present, helping mitigate cross-site scripting risks. Hosting provider and CMS are not explicitly identified. Performance is moderate with prefetching of JavaScript chunks. SEO optimization is basic with standard meta tags and viewport settings. The site is mobile optimized and accessible at a basic level. Technical risks include lack of advanced security headers and missing privacy compliance mechanisms.
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.
