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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

The company operates a multi-location car rental service with a broad geographic footprint, indicating a medium-sized enterprise with international reach. Its business model focuses on direct online bookings supported by a comprehensive reservation system and promotional offers. The presence of social media channels and structured data enhances brand visibility and customer engagement. The company appears to maintain consistent branding and trust indicators such as cookie consent and contact transparency. Revenue streams likely derive from car rentals, add-ons, and promotional campaigns. The partnership with the Croatian domain www.carwiz.hr suggests a localized operational base with international expansion. Growth indicators include a large number of locations and a significant client base. No evidence of subsidiaries or parent companies was found.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS, modern security headers, and cookie consent mechanisms. Use of Google reCAPTCHA and Cookiebot indicates proactive bot mitigation and privacy compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy and incident response contact limits transparency in security governance. There is no evidence of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by formalizing security policies and incident handling procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance website accessibility to meet higher compliance standards and improve user experience.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and third-party libraries such as Swiper.js for UI components. Cookiebot is integrated for cookie consent management, and Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing tags. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and includes accessibility features, though these could be improved. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in loading times. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details were not available from the provided data. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs effectively but could benefit from performance tuning and enhanced 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.
