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

Continental Tires operates a global website offering a wide range of tire products for various vehicle types including cars, trucks, motorcycles, bicycles, and industrial vehicles. The company is positioned as a global leader in tire manufacturing and sales, targeting both consumer and business markets worldwide. The website is professionally designed with consistent branding and multilingual support, reflecting a mature digital presence. Technically, the site uses Adobe Experience Manager CMS and integrates modern web technologies such as Google Tag Manager and consent management tools, supporting good accessibility and SEO practices. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, but lacks visible security headers and explicit privacy and terms of service pages, which are areas for improvement. The absence of WHOIS registration data is a notable anomaly that reduces domain trustworthiness despite the professional website. Overall, the site is safe, reliable, and well-structured but would benefit from enhanced transparency and security best practices.

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

3 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 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 Tires is a major player in the transportation and manufacturing sectors, focusing on tire production and sales. The business model includes direct sales and support for a global customer base. The website links to multiple regional Continental domains, indicating a broad partnership and subsidiary ecosystem. The company leverages advanced digital marketing and analytics tools to engage customers and optimize user experience. Growth indicators include multilingual support and extensive product offerings. Strategic observations suggest a strong brand presence but a need for improved compliance documentation and domain registration transparency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms in place. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency and readiness perception. Compliance with GDPR is partially indicated by consent management but lacks full documentation. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be significantly improved by adopting recommended headers, publishing policies, and clarifying incident response procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the main site.
  2. Add security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Clarify and publish contact information for security incidents and designate an incident response contact.
  4. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS registration data to improve domain trust and transparency.
  5. Enhance GDPR compliance by documenting data retention policies and providing clear user data rights information.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager CMS, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager and Cludo search. The site is mobile optimized and includes an accessibility widget with extensive features, indicating a commitment to inclusive design. Performance is moderate with asynchronous script loading and deferred resources. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from improved security header implementation and more explicit metadata for privacy and compliance. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified in the content. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable web presence.
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.
