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

Bentley Motors Limited is a prestigious British luxury automobile manufacturer with a rich heritage dating back to 1919. The company specializes in handcrafted luxury vehicles including SUVs, convertibles, and saloons, targeting affluent customers seeking performance and exclusivity. The website reflects Bentley's commitment to craftsmanship and luxury, offering detailed product information, customization options, and dealer services. Technically, the site is built on Adobe Experience Manager, leveraging modern web technologies and robust analytics tools while maintaining good performance and mobile optimization. Security measures include HTTPS and a comprehensive Content Security Policy, alongside consent management for privacy compliance. However, the absence of WHOIS data limits domain registration transparency, though the website's professional presentation and consistent branding support its legitimacy. Overall, Bentley Motors' digital presence aligns well with its market position as a leading luxury automotive brand.

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

4 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 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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. 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Bentley Motors holds a strong market position in the luxury automotive sector, emphasizing bespoke craftsmanship and high-performance vehicles. Their business model focuses on premium vehicle sales, customization through Mulliner coachbuilding, and a growing hybrid range reflecting sustainability trends. The company targets high-net-worth individuals globally, supported by localized content for key markets including the UK, Germany, China, and Japan. Bentley's partnership ecosystem includes digital marketing and analytics providers, enhancing customer engagement and brand visibility. Growth indicators include expansion into hybrid technologies and concept vehicles showcasing innovation. The website's comprehensive content and multi-language support demonstrate strategic investment in digital maturity and customer experience.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, a strict Content Security Policy, and integration of consent management tools to comply with privacy regulations like GDPR. Use of reputable third-party analytics and advertising services is managed with user consent, reducing privacy risks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analysis. However, the site could improve by adding additional security headers such as Strict-Transport-Security and X-Frame-Options, and by publishing explicit security policies or incident response contacts. The lack of a public vulnerability disclosure policy is a minor gap. Overall, Bentley Motors demonstrates a strong commitment to security best practices appropriate for a luxury brand.

Recommendations

  1. Implement additional HTTP security headers including Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear vulnerability disclosure policy and security contact information to encourage responsible reporting and improve transparency.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance visibility of incident response procedures and security policies on the website to build customer trust.
  5. Consider obtaining and displaying recognized security certifications to reinforce the brand's commitment to security.

Technical notes

Notes

The Bentley Motors website is powered by Adobe Experience Manager, indicating a robust enterprise-grade CMS platform. The site uses modern JavaScript modules, Google Tag Manager, and multiple analytics services for performance monitoring and marketing insights. Content is well-structured with extensive use of JSON-LD for SEO and rich media integration. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. Hosting appears to be on Adobe's cloud infrastructure, ensuring scalability and reliability. Opportunities exist to optimize loading times further and enhance security headers. The technical stack supports Bentley's high standards for digital presence but requires ongoing maintenance to mitigate risks associated with third-party dependencies.
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.
