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

Auto Solutions 2000 Limited operates as a vehicle breaker and dismantler based in the East Midlands, UK. The company specializes in the collection, recycling, and resale of used vehicle parts for cars, vans, trucks, and motorcycles. Their business model centers on environmentally responsible dismantling and an e-commerce platform offering over 220 vehicles in stock with worldwide delivery options. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand presence with clear contact details and customer reviews, positioning them as a trusted regional player in the automotive parts market. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including Bootstrap, jQuery, Google Tag Manager, and Google reCAPTCHA to enhance user experience, security, and analytics. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices and a cookie consent mechanism, although explicit privacy and security policy pages are not found. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in accessibility and security headers. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and implements reCAPTCHA on forms to mitigate spam and abuse. However, the absence of visible security headers and a formal privacy policy reduces the overall security posture. The WHOIS lookup failed due to domain naming rules, indicating the queried domain is likely a subdomain or alias, which slightly impacts trustworthiness despite the professional site content. Overall, the website is functional, professional, and safe for general audiences. Strategic improvements in security headers, privacy disclosures, and domain registration clarity are recommended to enhance trust 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

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Cloudflare

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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 Solutions 2000 Limited is positioned as a small-sized, essential entity in the transportation sector, focusing on vehicle dismantling and used parts sales. Their competitive advantage lies in their authorized treatment facility, environmental compliance, and a large inventory with daily new stock arrivals. The business targets vehicle owners, repair shops, and parts resellers, leveraging an e-commerce platform for global reach. The company demonstrates growth potential through continuous stock updates and customer engagement via reviews. Partnerships with Eladene Systems for website technology indicate a professional digital ecosystem. However, the lack of explicit privacy and security policies and domain registration irregularities suggest areas for operational strengthening.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and Google reCAPTCHA protecting forms. The presence of CSRF tokens on forms indicates attention to input security. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options is a notable gap. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is published, which limits transparency and readiness perception. Privacy compliance is partial, with cookie consent implemented but no dedicated privacy policy page. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small e-commerce site but requires enhancements to meet higher compliance and security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen defense against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a detailed privacy policy page outlining data collection, processing, and user rights to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  3. Establish and communicate an incident response plan and vulnerability disclosure policy to enhance security transparency and preparedness.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate risks from vulnerable dependencies.
  5. Clarify domain registration details and ensure the primary domain is properly registered and WHOIS information is accessible to improve legitimacy and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack featuring Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for DOM manipulation, and Slick Carousel for interactive UI elements. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing tracking, while Google reCAPTCHA v3 protects forms from spam. Cookie consent is managed via a third-party script from freeprivacypolicy.com. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and SEO practices with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in accessibility and loading speed. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or lightweight platform. Hosting provider details are not evident from the content. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional user experience but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and performance tuning.
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.
