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

Connected Cars is a Denmark-based company founded in 2016 specializing in telematics solutions for the automotive industry. Their platform provides real-time vehicle data compatible with all car brands and models, targeting importers, dealers, and leasing companies. The website positions the company as a comprehensive B2B SaaS provider in the transportation sector, focusing on increasing profitability through connected car data services. Technically, the site is built on WordPress using Elementor and Yoast SEO, hosted on Google Cloud DNS infrastructure, and integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools such as HubSpot, Google Tag Manager, and LinkedIn Insight. The website is moderately optimized for performance and mobile devices but lacks advanced accessibility features. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS and has domain transfer protections but lacks DNSSEC and security headers, indicating room for improvement. Privacy compliance is weak, with no visible privacy or cookie policies, and no GDPR compliance indicators. Contact information is not explicitly provided, which may impact user trust. Overall, the site is functional and professional but requires enhancements in privacy, security, and transparency to improve trust and compliance.

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. 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 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. 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

Connected Cars operates in the transportation sector, offering telematics and connected vehicle data services primarily to automotive importers, dealers, and leasing companies. Their business model is B2B SaaS, providing a unified platform compatible with all car brands. The company appears to be small-sized with a focused market niche. The website content is marketing-oriented, emphasizing profitability and real-time data solutions. The lack of detailed business information, certifications, or trust signals suggests a need to strengthen credibility. The integration of multiple marketing tools indicates active lead generation and customer engagement efforts. The domain age and registrant data support a stable business presence since 2016. No partnerships or subsidiaries are explicitly identified from the website content.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer protection. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces the overall security robustness. The use of CleanTalk anti-spam plugin is a positive indicator against spam and bot attacks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. The lack of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates limited transparency and preparedness for security incidents. Privacy compliance is weak, with no visible privacy or cookie policies, which may expose the company to regulatory risks under GDPR or similar frameworks.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to improve site security.
  4. Provide explicit contact information including emails and phone numbers for customer support and incident response.
  5. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to foster transparency and responsible security practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using Elementor for page building and Yoast SEO for search engine optimization. It integrates several third-party marketing and analytics services including HubSpot, Google Tag Manager, and LinkedIn Insight, indicating a mature digital marketing infrastructure. Hosting is managed via Google Cloud DNS, providing reliable DNS services. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization but basic accessibility features. The site lacks DNSSEC and security headers, which are technical risks. The presence of multiple external scripts may impact load times and privacy. Overall, the technical setup is solid but can benefit from enhanced security configurations and privacy 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.
