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.

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

DEKRA holds a strong market position as a large enterprise with a diversified portfolio spanning energy, transport, financial services, manufacturing, and technology sectors. Its business model focuses on providing essential safety and compliance services, leveraging a global network and extensive industry expertise. The company benefits from a broad partnership ecosystem and localized operations in key markets such as the US, UK, China, and Japan. DEKRA's strategic focus on sustainability and digital transformation positions it well for future growth, supported by a comprehensive range of certifications and a commitment to quality and compliance.

Security posture

DEKRA exhibits a mature security posture with well-implemented security headers, HSTS enabled with subdomain inclusion, and secure cookie practices. The absence of vulnerable SSL/TLS protocols and known vulnerabilities like Heartbleed or POODLE indicates a strong baseline security. However, the lack of modern TLS versions (1.2 or 1.3) is a notable gap. The company maintains GDPR compliance and provides clear privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms. Incident response details and vulnerability disclosure policies are not explicitly found, suggesting an area for improvement. Overall, DEKRA demonstrates a solid security culture but could enhance transparency and protocol support.

Recommendations

  1. Enable TLS 1.2 or TLS 1.3 protocols to improve encryption standards and compatibility.
  2. Implement a publicly accessible vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to enhance transparency.
  3. Consider submitting the domain for HSTS preload to strengthen transport security.
  4. Regularly update and audit the Content Security Policy to mitigate emerging web threats.
  5. Enhance incident response information availability to improve stakeholder confidence.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern JavaScript framework stack including Nuxt.js and Vue.js, styled with Tailwind CSS, and hosted on Microsoft Azure, indicating a robust and scalable infrastructure. The use of multiple analytics and tracking tools such as Matomo, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar, and Microsoft Clarity reflects a mature digital marketing and user behavior analysis strategy. The site is well-optimized for performance and mobile devices, with good accessibility and SEO practices. The content management system is identified as e-Spirit FirstSpirit, supporting complex content structures and localization. Technical risks are minimal but include the need to update TLS protocols and maintain continuous security monitoring.
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.
