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

Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH (DAT) is a well-established German company specializing in automotive data services and software solutions, serving a broad range of industry partners including car dealers, workshops, experts, insurers, banks, and manufacturers. Founded in 1931, DAT holds a strong market position as a neutral and trusted data provider with recognized brands such as SilverDAT and FastTrackAI. The website reflects this professionalism with comprehensive content focused on automotive data, repair cost calculation, vehicle valuation, and AI-driven damage detection. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS and employs modern web technologies including JavaScript frameworks and a consent management platform (Usercentrics) for GDPR compliance. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, with structured data enhancing search engine understanding. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and nonce attributes used for scripts and styles, although some security headers could be improved. No blocking or WAF challenges were detected, allowing full content access. However, explicit privacy policy and terms of service pages were not found in the provided content, which could be improved for compliance transparency. Contact information is available via phone and physical address, with multiple social media channels linked, reinforcing trust and engagement. Overall, DAT's website demonstrates a mature digital presence aligned with its business stature, though enhancements in security headers and explicit privacy disclosures are recommended to further strengthen compliance and trust.

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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  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.

Business context

Business profile

DAT operates in the transportation sector as an essential entity providing critical automotive data and software services. Its business model is B2B, targeting automotive industry professionals with products for vehicle valuation, repair cost calculation, and AI-based damage detection. The company leverages partnerships and maintains a strong brand presence with multiple recognized products. Growth indicators include active marketing campaigns (#getDATjob) and educational offerings (DAT Akademie). The company’s digital ecosystem integrates consent management and A/B testing tools, indicating a focus on user experience and compliance. DAT’s market position is solidified by its long history and neutral stance in the automotive data market.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and nonce attributes implemented to mitigate script injection risks. The use of Usercentrics CMP indicates GDPR compliance efforts. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not publicly visible, which could impact readiness and transparency. Overall, the security posture is strong but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve transparency and compliance.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a security policy and provide clear incident response contact information, including a security or abuse email address.
  4. Introduce a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Ensure all forms (if any) include anti-CSRF tokens and secure input validation to prevent injection attacks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by TYPO3 CMS, a mature and widely used content management system, indicating a stable technical foundation. The presence of modern JavaScript libraries such as Modernizr and integration with Usercentrics for consent management and Kameleoon for A/B testing reflects a commitment to modern web standards and user experience optimization. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices including meta tags and structured data. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and preconnect hints to external domains. No significant technical debt or outdated technologies were detected, though further performance tuning could be considered.
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.
