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

Bitros Cars is a well-established Greek company specializing in the sale of used and new cars, operating since 1989. The website serves as a digital platform to showcase a large inventory of vehicles, providing detailed search and filtering options for customers. The company emphasizes quality, reliability, and customer service, positioning itself as a trusted player in the Greek automotive retail market. Technically, the website uses a combination of classic and modern web technologies including jQuery, Swiper.js, and Google Analytics, hosted behind Cloudflare DNS. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and domain transfer protections, but lacks advanced DNS security and HTTP security headers. Privacy compliance is limited, with no visible cookie consent or comprehensive privacy policy. Contact information is clearly presented, supporting business credibility.

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

6 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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

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

Bitros Cars targets individual and business customers in Greece seeking used or new vehicles. The business model is direct retail sales with additional services such as vehicle guarantees and quick cash purchases. The company maintains a strong market position with a large vehicle fleet and a professional online presence. Partnerships include automotive marketplaces and digital magazines. Growth is supported by a broad brand portfolio and a focus on customer trust. The company does not publicly disclose certifications or advanced security policies, indicating room for maturity in compliance and security governance.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protections in place. However, the absence of DNSSEC and HTTP security headers reduces defense-in-depth. No public security or incident response policies are found, and no vulnerability disclosure mechanisms exist. The use of third-party analytics introduces moderate user tracking without explicit cookie consent, posing privacy compliance risks under GDPR. Overall, the security posture is functional but could be significantly improved by adopting modern security headers, DNSSEC, and transparent privacy and security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner and update privacy policy to reflect GDPR compliance.
  4. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics to minimize privacy risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a mix of legacy and modern JavaScript libraries, including jQuery 1.8.2, which is outdated and may pose security risks. The presence of Google Analytics and Tag Manager indicates standard marketing and tracking practices. The site is hosted with DNS managed by Cloudflare, but no WAF or security challenge is detected. Performance is moderate with responsive design and mobile optimization present. SEO is supported by meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. The site lacks a CMS indication, suggesting a custom or legacy platform. Overall, the technical infrastructure is stable but would benefit from modernization and enhanced security controls.
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.
