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

Continental Aftermarket is a division of Continental AG, a global leader in automotive parts and services. The website offers a comprehensive catalog of automotive spare parts, tires, workshop equipment, and related services, targeting both B2B and B2C customers worldwide. The site features a partner finder tool to locate authorized distributors and partners. Technically, the website employs modern tracking and analytics tools including Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and LinkedIn Insight Tag, alongside a consent management platform to comply with cookie regulations. Security is robust with HTTPS enforced and a Content Security Policy in place, though additional security headers could enhance protection. The absence of WHOIS data is unusual and warrants further investigation, but the website's branding and content strongly indicate a legitimate enterprise presence. Privacy policy and terms of service pages are not explicitly found on this URL, which may impact compliance perception. Overall, the site is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and relevant content.

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

6 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, Cloudflare, Google APIs

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 transportation and manufacturing sectors, providing automotive spare parts and services globally. Its business model combines direct sales and partnerships with distributors and service providers. The company leverages a strong brand portfolio including ATE, Contitech, and Continental Tires. The website reflects a mature digital presence with integrated marketing and analytics tools, supporting customer engagement and partner collaboration. The extensive product catalog and partner network indicate a well-established market position. Growth opportunities may lie in expanding digital services and improving privacy and security transparency. The partnership ecosystem is robust, linking to multiple trusted subsidiaries and brands, enhancing market reach and customer trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with HTTPS enforced and a Content Security Policy to upgrade insecure requests. The use of Google reCAPTCHA Enterprise adds protection against automated abuse. However, the site lacks several common security headers such as X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy, which could mitigate clickjacking, MIME sniffing, and referrer leakage risks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The absence of explicit security or incident response policies on the site limits transparency. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved by implementing additional headers and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement additional security headers including X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy to enhance protection.
  2. Publish clear privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the partner finder URL to improve compliance and user trust.
  3. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data to ensure domain registration transparency and legitimacy.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Increase SEO optimization by adding structured data and improving meta tags for better search engine visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack with extensive use of JavaScript libraries for internationalization (i18next), analytics (Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight), and consent management. Google Maps API integration supports the partner finder functionality. The site is mobile-optimized and uses responsive design. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed by optimizing scripts and assets. No CMS was explicitly detected. The site lacks some advanced SEO and accessibility features but maintains a professional and functional technical infrastructure. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Overall, the technical implementation supports the business goals effectively but has room for modernization and optimization.
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.
