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

Continental Tyres UK & Ireland website represents a major global tyre manufacturer with a strong market position in Europe and worldwide. The company offers a broad range of tyre products for various vehicle types including cars, motorcycles, bicycles, trucks, agriculture, earthmoving, and material handling. The website is professionally designed, well-structured, and provides comprehensive product and business information, targeting both consumers and commercial clients. Technically, the site uses modern technologies such as Adobe Experience Manager, Google Tag Manager, and consent management tools, ensuring good performance, accessibility, and SEO. Security posture is strong with HTTPS, security headers, and no visible vulnerabilities, though explicit security policies and incident response information are not published. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms. WHOIS data is unavailable due to domain naming rules error, which is unusual but the website content and branding strongly indicate legitimacy. Overall, the site is trustworthy, professional, and business credible.

NIS2 Art. 21(2)

  1. (a) Risk analysis and security policies: Not visible from outside

  3. (c) Business continuity, backups and crisis management: Not visible from outside
  4. (d) Supply chain security: Not visible from outside

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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  2. 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';…

  3. 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

  4. 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 operates as a large enterprise in the transportation sector, focusing on tyre manufacturing and sales. The business model includes direct sales, dealer networks, and business solutions for fleets. The company leverages strong German engineering heritage and sustainability focus as competitive advantages. The website supports multiple regions and languages, indicating a global presence. Partnerships and regional sites are evident, enhancing market reach. The company targets a wide audience from individual consumers to commercial and industrial clients. Growth indicators include continuous product innovation and digital engagement through advanced web technologies.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and consent management for privacy compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency. No direct security contact channels were found. The site would benefit from publishing these documents and establishing clear incident response communication to enhance trust and compliance with regulations such as GDPR and NIS2.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Provide direct security contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency on data retention and processing policies to improve privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager and Adobe Helix RUM. It includes a consent management platform for GDPR compliance and an accessibility widget ensuring excellent accessibility standards. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good SEO practices including meta tags and structured data. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in image delivery and script loading. The technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable digital presence suitable for a large enterprise.
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.
