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

Auto Hoogenboom is a well-established automotive dealership in the Netherlands, offering a wide range of new and used vehicles from prominent brands such as Volkswagen, Audi, SEAT, Škoda, and CUPRA. The company provides comprehensive services including vehicle sales, leasing options for private and business customers, financing, insurance, and maintenance. Their market position is strong regionally, supported by a 90-year history and multiple brand partnerships. Technically, the website is built using modern frameworks like Next.js and React, integrating third-party services such as Google Tag Manager for analytics, Cookiebot for consent management, and Smartsupp for live chat support. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and moderate performance, with a clean and professional design that supports user experience and navigation clarity. From a security perspective, the website enforces HTTPS, employs standard security headers, and manages cookie consent effectively. However, it lacks explicit privacy policy and terms of service pages, as well as incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which are important for compliance and trust. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious content were detected. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with strong business credibility and technical implementation. To enhance compliance and user trust, it is recommended to publish comprehensive privacy and terms documents, provide clear contact information, and establish formal security policies.

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.

Priority findings

2 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 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

  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

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 Hoogenboom operates in the transportation sector as a medium-sized automotive dealership with a diversified portfolio of brands and services. Their business model combines direct vehicle sales with leasing, financing, and after-sales services, targeting both private consumers and business clients. The company leverages its long-standing market presence and brand partnerships to maintain competitive advantages. Growth indicators include a broad service offering and digital engagement through their website. The partnership ecosystem includes major automotive brands and technology providers for analytics and consent management. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to strengthen compliance and customer engagement through enhanced transparency and security disclosures.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and cookie consent management via Cookiebot. The use of reputable third-party services for analytics and chat support is well managed. However, the absence of explicit privacy policies, terms of service, and incident response information indicates gaps in compliance and transparency. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. The security score is high but could be improved by addressing compliance documentation and providing clear security contact channels. Overall, the security culture appears adequate but would benefit from formalizing policies and disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the website footer or main navigation.
  2. Add a dedicated security incident response page or contact channel to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards for broader compliance and usability.
  4. Provide clear and verified contact information including company emails and phone numbers on the website.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React and Next.js framework, leveraging server-side rendering for performance. It uses Google Tag Manager for analytics and Cookiebot for GDPR-compliant cookie consent management. Hosting appears to be on AWS infrastructure with assets served via a CDN (Cloudimage). The site includes integration with Google Maps API and a live chat service (Smartsupp). Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured navigation. Technical risks are minimal but include the need for improved accessibility and formal compliance documentation. The infrastructure is scalable and aligns with current web development best practices.
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.
