Risk levelMedium

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

DACHSER is a well-established global logistics provider with a strong market position and comprehensive service offerings across multiple transport and warehouse networks. The website reflects a mature digital presence with multilingual support, rich content, and clear corporate governance and compliance information. Technically, the site uses modern tracking and consent management technologies but suffers from critical SSL certificate issues that undermine its security posture. Security headers and policies are well implemented, but the lack of valid HTTPS and modern TLS protocols is a significant risk. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but requires urgent remediation of SSL and TLS configurations to ensure secure user interactions and maintain compliance. Strategic recommendations include fixing SSL certificates, enabling modern TLS, and enhancing security mechanisms such as OCSP stapling and session resumption.

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. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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

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

DACHSER operates in the transportation sector as a family-owned enterprise founded in 1930, now a global market leader in system logistics. Its business model focuses on providing integrated logistics solutions including air, sea, rail, and warehouse networks tailored to various industries. The company targets businesses requiring reliable supply chain and distribution logistics worldwide. The website demonstrates strong branding consistency, comprehensive corporate compliance, and sustainability initiatives, indicating a mature and responsible business. The presence of multiple country-specific sites and media channels suggests a broad geographic footprint and active engagement with stakeholders. The company leverages digital tools for marketing and analytics, supporting data-driven decision-making and customer engagement.

Security posture

The website implements several security best practices including a strict Content Security Policy, HttpOnly and Secure cookie flags, and security headers like X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options. However, the SSL certificate is invalid or missing, and no TLS protocols are enabled, which critically undermines secure communications. The absence of OCSP stapling and session resumption further reduces security and performance. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is found, indicating potential gaps in transparency and readiness. The overall security maturity is moderate but requires immediate attention to SSL/TLS issues to protect user data and maintain trust.

Recommendations

  1. Immediately fix the SSL certificate to enable valid HTTPS connections.
  2. Enable and enforce modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) for secure communications.
  3. Enhance HSTS policy by including subdomains and enabling preload to prevent downgrade attacks.
  4. Implement OCSP stapling to improve certificate validation performance and security.
  5. Establish and publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies to improve transparency and security culture.
Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript stack including Usercentrics for consent management, Google Analytics and Tag Manager for analytics, Brightcove and Podigee for media content, and Google Maps API for location services. The site is well structured with responsive design and good SEO practices including meta tags and structured data. Performance data is unavailable, but the use of CDN-hosted assets and preloading stylesheets suggests optimization efforts. Accessibility is basic but present. The invalid SSL certificate and lack of TLS protocols represent significant technical debt and risk. Hosting provider and CMS are not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional corporate website but requires security upgrades.
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.
