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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

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

CUPRA operates in the transportation sector as a premium automotive brand with a focus on sporty and electric vehicles. The business model includes direct vehicle sales, leasing, financing, and digital services like My CUPRA and CUPRA CONNECT. The website reflects a strong market position with extensive service offerings and partnerships within the Volkswagen Group ecosystem. The presence of dedicated sections for electric mobility, financing, and after-sales services indicates diversified revenue streams and a customer-centric approach. The brand targets German-speaking customers with localized content and services. The partnership with de-shop.cupraofficial.com for merchandise sales further extends the brand's ecosystem. The website's professional content and consistent branding reinforce CUPRA's premium market positioning.

Security posture

The website exhibits a strong security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented, including Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security. The use of OneTrust for cookie consent indicates GDPR compliance and user privacy respect. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a publicly available security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in security governance. There is no evidence of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file. The integration of multiple third-party scripts for analytics and advertising requires ongoing monitoring to mitigate supply chain risks. Overall, the site maintains good security hygiene but could improve transparency and incident readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security governance and controls.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information, including security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance website accessibility to meet WCAG standards for broader user inclusivity.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to minimize potential security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager, a robust enterprise CMS, hosted on Volkswagen Group's cloud infrastructure. It uses modern JavaScript frameworks and libraries such as Swiper.js and Bootstrap for UI components and responsiveness. The site integrates advanced marketing and analytics tools including Google Tag Manager and Adobe Analytics, enabling detailed user behavior tracking and campaign management. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and preconnect hints to optimize resource fetching. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features, though some improvements are possible. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which require vigilant security management. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a high-quality user experience aligned with enterprise standards.
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.
