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

Caruso Carsharing is a well-established Austrian carsharing service specializing in electric vehicles, primarily serving the regions of Vorarlberg and Salzburg. The company offers flexible, app-based vehicle rental solutions for both private individuals and business clients, emphasizing sustainability and cost-effectiveness. Their business model includes short-term carsharing and longer-term rentals under the 'caruso plus' program. The website reflects a professional and modern digital presence with comprehensive content and clear navigation, targeting environmentally conscious users seeking alternative mobility options. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Ion.RangeSlider, and animation libraries, optimized for mobile devices and SEO. The infrastructure is stable with HTTPS enforced and domain security measures in place, although DNSSEC is not enabled. The site integrates cookie consent mechanisms and complies with GDPR requirements, demonstrating a mature approach to privacy and user data protection. From a security perspective, the site shows good practices such as HTTPS, domain locking, and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, there is room for improvement by enabling DNSSEC, publishing a formal security policy, and adding a vulnerability disclosure channel. Overall, the risk profile is low, and the site appears trustworthy and professionally managed. Strategically, Caruso Carsharing is positioned as a regional leader in sustainable mobility with a growing footprint and diversified offerings. The company maintains active engagement through social media and news updates, enhancing customer trust and market visibility.

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

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 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

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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

Caruso Carsharing operates in the transportation and energy sectors, focusing on electric vehicle sharing services. Their competitive advantage lies in a fully electric fleet, integration with regional mobility partners like VMOBIL and VLOTTE, and a user-friendly app platform. Revenue streams include hourly and kilometer-based tariffs, monthly subscriptions, and extended rentals. The target market includes environmentally conscious private users and businesses seeking flexible fleet solutions. Growth indicators include recent expansion to new locations such as Kundl/Tirol and promotional campaigns. The partnership ecosystem includes regional mobility providers and technology vendors. Operationally, the company emphasizes sustainability, customer convenience, and digital innovation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with HTTPS enforced and domain status protections that prevent unauthorized domain transfers or deletions. Cookie consent and GDPR compliance are actively managed. No security.txt or explicit incident response policies are published, indicating an area for enhancement. Third-party scripts are used but no known vulnerable libraries are detected. The absence of DNSSEC is a minor gap in DNS security. Overall, the site is secure for users with no evident vulnerabilities or data exposure. Incident response readiness and formal security policies could be improved to align with best practices and regulatory expectations.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Add additional HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS with a custom theme named 'Caruso' and uses a variety of modern JavaScript libraries for UI enhancements and animations. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with lazy loading of images and efficient use of CDN resources. SEO is well implemented with meta tags, Open Graph, Twitter cards, and JSON-LD structured data. Hosting details are not explicitly disclosed, but DNS is managed via domaincontrol.com with a registrar of Mesh Digital Limited. The site uses Google Tag Manager and Meta Pixel for marketing and tracking, alongside privacy-focused analytics (Fathom). Technical risks are low but could be further reduced by enabling DNSSEC and tightening security headers.
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.
