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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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

      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 · found on this site
  • 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

The company holds a strong regional market position as a multi-brand automotive dealer and service provider with a family-owned business model. Its diversified brand portfolio and multiple service offerings provide competitive advantages. The target audience includes discerning individual customers and corporate clients requiring fleet and maintenance services. The website's integration with partner domains and social media channels indicates an active digital presence and marketing strategy. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the homepage suggests a preference for contact forms and controlled communication channels. The company appears to maintain a stable growth trajectory with a focus on customer service and innovation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, presence of essential cookies only by default, and anonymized IP tracking in analytics. However, it lacks publicly available security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, which are important for transparency and compliance. No known vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of third-party scripts such as Facebook Pixel and Google Analytics is managed with consent mechanisms. Recommendations include publishing a dedicated security policy, incident response information, and a vulnerability disclosure policy to enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive security policy page detailing security practices and controls.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information to facilitate reporting of security issues.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to improve inclusivity and compliance.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and analytics tools to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Contao Open Source CMS platform, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Rocksolid Slider, Colorbox, and Swipe.js for interactive features. Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel are used for analytics and marketing, integrated with cookie consent mechanisms. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and basic accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, though hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured data in JSON-LD format. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional and user-friendly experience.
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.
