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. 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, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Google APIs, Google Ads

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

  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
    • 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

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

The company positions itself as a flexible alternative to traditional car leasing, appealing to customers seeking freedom and simplicity. The use of Shopify and integration with various marketing and analytics platforms suggests a focus on e-commerce efficiency and customer insights. The domain age since 2003 supports a stable business presence. The absence of explicit contact emails or phone numbers on the site may indicate a preference for digital contact via forms. The business targets the transportation sector with a medium-sized operation and consistent branding. The marketing ecosystem includes retargeting and conversion tracking, indicating active customer acquisition strategies.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and uses reputable third-party services for analytics and bot management, contributing to a secure environment. Cookie consent is actively managed with blocking of scripts until consent is given, aligning with GDPR requirements. However, the site lacks explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Incident response and security policy pages are not found, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from additional hardening and documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Shopify using the Dawn theme and incorporates modern JavaScript frameworks such as Vue.js and Vuex for frontend state management. It uses Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing tag management, along with Hotjar and HubSpot for user behavior tracking and CRM integration. Performance is moderate with multiple external scripts and fonts loaded, but the site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The hosting and domain registration are stable and consistent with the business profile. Technical debt appears low, but opportunities exist to improve security headers and accessibility compliance.
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.
