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

DAF Trucks N.V. is a prominent European commercial vehicle manufacturer specializing in a comprehensive range of trucks including the DAF Euro 6 XF, CF, and LF series. As a wholly-owned subsidiary of PACCAR Inc., DAF maintains a strong market position with extensive dealer networks and related services such as used trucks sales, bodybuilder information, and component supply. The website reflects a mature digital presence with professional design, clear navigation, and localized market sites for global reach. Technically, the site employs modern web technologies including jQuery, Google Tag Manager, and OneTrust for cookie consent management, indicating a commitment to privacy compliance and user experience. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly, though some improvements in accessibility and security headers could enhance its posture. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms but lacks explicit security policies or incident response contacts on the landing page. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The WHOIS data is unavailable or protected, which is common for large enterprises but slightly reduces transparency. Overall, the website is trustworthy, professional, and compliant with privacy regulations, serving its target audience effectively. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing security policies, and providing clearer contact information for security incidents.

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

2 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. 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

DAF Trucks operates in the transportation sector with a focus on manufacturing and distributing commercial trucks. Its competitive advantage lies in its comprehensive product range, strong European market presence, and backing by PACCAR Inc. Revenue streams include new truck sales, used trucks, components, and aftermarket services. The target customers are transport companies, truck drivers, and vehicle bodybuilders. The company demonstrates growth through digital expansion with multiple localized sites and related service platforms. Partnerships and subsidiaries support a broad ecosystem enhancing customer service and product availability.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforcement and cookie consent compliance. However, the absence of security headers and explicit security policies indicates room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or sensitive data exposures were found, suggesting good operational security. Compliance with GDPR is supported by OneTrust integration. Incident response readiness is unclear due to missing contact channels. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could benefit from formalized policies and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Introduce a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance with standards such as WCAG.
  5. Maintain transparency in WHOIS data or provide official domain registration information to improve trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including jQuery 3.3.1, Google Tag Manager, and OneTrust for cookie management. Fonts are loaded via FontAwesome and Icomoon. The site is responsive and optimized for mobile devices with good SEO practices including meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts. No CMS or hosting provider details were detected. Technical debt appears low, but improvements in accessibility and security headers are recommended to reduce risks and enhance user experience.
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.
