Autodistribution is a leading French retailer specializing in automotive spare parts, operating over 350 physical stores and offering online ordering with free in-store pickup. The website presents a professional and consistent brand image targeting vehicle owners and automotive professionals. The technical infrastructure leverages modern web technologies including Angular framework, cloud-based CDN delivery, and integrates standard marketing and consent management tools. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforcement and appropriate security headers, though explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not publicly disclosed.

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

10 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

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

  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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

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

Autodistribution holds a dominant market position in the automotive parts retail sector in France, supported by a large network of physical stores and an e-commerce platform. The business model focuses on quality automotive parts at competitive prices with convenient online ordering and local pickup. The company targets both individual vehicle owners and professional garages. The website's integration with marketing and analytics tools indicates a mature digital marketing strategy. However, the lack of visible certifications or detailed business registration information online suggests an opportunity to enhance transparency and trust. The company appears to maintain a focused sector presence without visible subsidiaries or parent company affiliations in the provided data.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS, security headers, and cookie consent mechanisms. No obvious vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure program indicates room for improvement in transparency and readiness. GDPR compliance is supported by privacy and cookie policies, but no explicit data protection officer contact was found. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by publishing formal security governance documents and incident response procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information, including abuse and security email addresses.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance transparency by including company registration and certification details on the website.
  5. Regularly review and update privacy and cookie policies to maintain GDPR compliance and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Angular framework, served via Amazon Cloudfront CDN, and integrates Google Tag Manager and Consent Manager for analytics and privacy compliance. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good SEO metadata including Open Graph tags. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts. Accessibility features are basic but present. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, though opportunities exist to improve accessibility and performance metrics further.
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.
