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

Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH (DAT) operates an international website providing automotive data and software solutions with a history spanning approximately 90 years. The company targets automotive professionals, fleet managers, repair shops, and insurers with products such as vehicle valuation, repair cost estimation, claims management, and telematics. The website reflects a mature business with a broad international footprint through multiple subsidiaries. Technically, the site is built on TYPO3 CMS, employs modern JavaScript frameworks, and integrates a consent management platform (Usercentrics) and self-hosted analytics (Matomo), indicating a good level of digital maturity. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforcement and nonce-based content security, though some security headers and explicit policies are absent. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain reduces trust in domain registration transparency but does not detract from the professional presentation and business legitimacy evident on the site. Overall, the site is well-structured, privacy compliant, and professionally maintained.

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. 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. 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

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

DAT holds a strong market position in the automotive data services sector, leveraging its long-standing history and international subsidiaries to serve a broad B2B customer base. Its business model focuses on software and data provision for vehicle valuation, repair cost estimation, and claims management, catering to automotive industry stakeholders. The company demonstrates strategic international expansion with localized subsidiaries, enhancing market reach. The website content and product offerings suggest a focus on innovation, including AI-driven solutions like FastTrackAI. The absence of direct company emails on the main site suggests controlled communication channels, likely to maintain professionalism and security. The company’s partnership ecosystem includes country-specific domains, reinforcing its global presence.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security foundation with HTTPS and nonce-based script/style injection to mitigate XSS risks. Integration of a consent management platform aligns with GDPR compliance. However, the lack of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and security.txt files indicates room for improvement in transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The missing WHOIS data is a concern for domain registration trust but may be due to privacy or technical reasons. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by publishing formal security and incident response documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  2. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve transparency.
  3. Implement and verify HTTP security headers such as HSTS, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Provide clear Data Protection Officer contact information to enhance GDPR compliance visibility.
  5. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data to improve domain registration transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system, indicating a stable and scalable infrastructure. The use of modern JavaScript libraries and frameworks, along with Usercentrics for consent management and Matomo for analytics, reflects a mature technical stack focused on privacy and performance. The site is mobile optimized with good navigation clarity and SEO practices. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization. The presence of nonce attributes for scripts and styles demonstrates attention to security best practices. However, the absence of certain security headers and incomplete WHOIS data highlight areas for technical improvement.
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.
