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

Big Spare Parts operates an e-commerce platform specializing in auto and truck spare parts, offering customers the ability to search by part number or VIN with worldwide delivery options. The company positions itself as a supplier of both OEM and aftermarket parts, targeting vehicle owners, mechanics, and resellers globally. The website is professionally designed with consistent branding and provides comprehensive business and contact information, including a privacy policy, terms of service, and cookie consent mechanisms, indicating a mature digital presence. Technically, the site leverages modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Slick Carousel, and Select2, alongside Google Tag Manager and Cloudflare Insights for analytics. The infrastructure appears stable with moderate performance and good mobile optimization. However, some security headers are not explicitly detected in the HTML source, suggesting room for improvement in security hardening. Forms for user login, registration, and password recovery are implemented with validation, enhancing user security. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data, but lacks published security policies or incident response information. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present, which could be improved to enhance trust and transparency. Overall, the domain registration data aligns well with the website's claims, supporting legitimacy. The overall risk assessment is moderate with a good security posture but opportunities exist to strengthen compliance and security transparency. Strategic recommendations include implementing comprehensive security headers, publishing incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies, and maintaining up-to-date third-party libraries to mitigate risks.

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

5 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
    • 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 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

  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 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

Business profile

Big Spare Parts holds a niche position in the transportation sector as a specialized supplier of auto and truck spare parts with a global reach. Its business model centers on e-commerce sales of OEM and aftermarket parts, supported by a user-friendly search by part number or VIN. The company targets a broad audience including individual vehicle owners, repair shops, and parts resellers. The presence of worldwide delivery and multiple payment options suggests a scalable revenue stream. The company maintains a clear partnership ecosystem with major auto brands showcased on the site, enhancing credibility. Growth indicators include a comprehensive FAQ, multilingual support, and active customer engagement features. However, no parent or subsidiary companies are identified, indicating a focused standalone operation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid baseline security posture with enforced HTTPS, secure form handling, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. The use of modern libraries reduces vulnerability risks, though the absence of explicit security headers in the HTML source is a notable gap. The lack of published security policies, incident response plans, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms limits transparency and preparedness. Compliance with GDPR is indicated by the presence of a privacy policy and cookie consent banner. The site would benefit from enhanced security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options) and a dedicated security.txt file to improve incident response readiness and user trust. Overall, the security maturity is moderate with clear areas for improvement.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Create and maintain a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and dependencies to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct periodic security training to foster a strong security culture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website employs a modern JavaScript-based front-end stack with jQuery, Slick Carousel, Select2, and jQuery UI, providing interactive UI components and enhanced user experience. Google Tag Manager and Cloudflare Insights are used for analytics and performance monitoring. The site is hosted likely behind Cloudflare CDN, improving availability and security. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility. The absence of a detected CMS suggests a custom or proprietary platform. Technical debt appears low, but the lack of explicit security headers and some accessibility features indicates opportunities for modernization and hardening. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs effectively but should evolve to meet higher security and compliance standards.
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.
