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

Continental Aftermarket is a division of Continental AG, a leading global automotive supplier. The website serves as a comprehensive portal for their aftermarket products and services, targeting automotive professionals, workshops, and distributors. It offers extensive product categories including batteries, brakes, tires, workshop equipment, and specialized vehicle components, supported by training and service programs. The brand is well-established with multiple subsidiaries and a strong market presence in Germany and internationally. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and a consent management platform to ensure compliance with privacy regulations. The site is mobile-optimized, uses HTTPS with a Content Security Policy, and integrates reCAPTCHA Enterprise for form security. The CMS appears to be TYPO3, a robust enterprise content management system. Performance is moderate with good SEO and accessibility basics. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates good practices such as HTTPS enforcement, CSP headers, and consent management. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and additional security headers could be added to enhance protection. No explicit security policy or incident response contacts are publicly available, and no vulnerability disclosure mechanism was found. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and compliant with GDPR. The domain registration data aligns with the business profile, indicating legitimacy. There are no signs of malicious content or security issues. Strategic improvements could focus on enhancing security headers, publishing security policies, and enabling DNSSEC to further strengthen the security posture.

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 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

  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

Continental Aftermarket operates in the automotive aftermarket sector, providing a wide range of replacement parts, workshop equipment, and training services. Their business model is primarily B2B, serving workshops, distributors, and automotive professionals. The company benefits from the strong brand recognition of its parent, Continental AG, and leverages multiple subsidiaries such as ATE and Contitech to cover diverse product lines. The website reflects a mature digital presence with multilingual support and extensive product catalogs, indicating a global market reach. Partnerships with other Continental divisions and external brands enhance their ecosystem. The company appears to focus on quality, innovation, and customer support as competitive advantages.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and a Content Security Policy to upgrade insecure requests. The use of reCAPTCHA Enterprise reduces automated abuse risks. Consent management is implemented to comply with privacy laws. However, the absence of DNSSEC and some recommended security headers (e.g., HSTS, X-Frame-Options) represents areas for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact may hinder transparency and responsiveness in case of security incidents. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced with additional controls and disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement additional security headers such as Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Create and maintain a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and improve compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack including Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and a consent management platform, indicating a focus on analytics and privacy compliance. The presence of reCAPTCHA Enterprise enhances form security. The CMS is likely TYPO3, suitable for enterprise content management. The site uses responsive design techniques and includes accessibility features, though these could be further improved. Performance is moderate, with potential optimization opportunities in resource loading and caching. The site structure and navigation are clear and user-friendly, supporting a positive user experience.
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.
