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

CLEPA is a prominent European association representing automotive suppliers, advocating for sustainability, innovation, and competitiveness within the European automotive supply chain. The organization targets industry stakeholders and policymakers, positioning itself as a key player in the transportation and manufacturing sectors. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, with clear business information and active social media presence. Technically, the website is built on WordPress and leverages modern web technologies including JavaScript libraries, Google Tag Manager, and Ajax Search Pro for enhanced user experience. The site is mobile-optimized and demonstrates good SEO practices, although some accessibility features could be improved. Performance is moderate, with a well-structured front-end and use of CDN resources. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, includes essential security headers, and shows no signs of exposed sensitive data or vulnerabilities. However, it lacks a public security policy or vulnerability disclosure mechanism, which could enhance transparency and trust. Privacy compliance is strong, with clear privacy and cookie policies and GDPR adherence. Overall, CLEPA's website presents a low-risk profile with strong business credibility and a solid security posture. Strategic improvements in security transparency and accessibility could further strengthen its digital maturity and stakeholder trust.

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 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 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

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

CLEPA operates as an essential industry association within the European automotive supply chain, focusing on advocacy and promoting sustainability and innovation. Its business model centers on representing suppliers and influencing policy to enhance competitiveness. The organization likely generates revenue through membership fees and industry partnerships. CLEPA's market position is strong as a leading voice in its sector, supported by a professional online presence and active engagement on social media platforms. The target customer segments include automotive suppliers, industry stakeholders, and European policymakers. Growth indicators include ongoing innovation awards and sustainability initiatives. The partnership ecosystem includes collaborations with industry bodies and possibly governmental agencies, although no explicit partner domains were identified on the website.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented, reducing common web vulnerabilities. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The presence of secure forms indicates attention to input validation and data protection. However, the absence of a public security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure channels represents a compliance gap and potential risk in incident management. GDPR compliance is evident through privacy and cookie policies, but further enhancements in security transparency and incident readiness would benefit the organization's security culture and stakeholder confidence.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information to improve readiness and transparency.
  4. Enhance website accessibility to meet higher standards and broaden user inclusivity.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate emerging vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern front-end stack including JavaScript libraries such as Splide.js and Ajax Search Pro for enhanced interactivity. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing tracking. The site uses custom fonts (Raleway and Oswald) and Font Awesome icons for visual consistency. Performance is moderate, with some optimization opportunities in loading speed and accessibility. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and structured data markup. Technical risks are minimal but include potential dependency on third-party scripts and the need for continuous maintenance of plugins and libraries.
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.
