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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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

DEKRA Costa Rica benefits from the global DEKRA brand, leveraging its reputation as a leader in vehicle inspections. The business model focuses on providing reliable, expert, and efficient inspection services to vehicle owners in Costa Rica. The company targets individual vehicle owners and commercial clients requiring mandatory technical inspections. Their digital presence supports online appointment booking and customer engagement. The extensive network of related DEKRA domains indicates a broad partnership ecosystem. The company emphasizes sustainability and safety, aligning with global trends in transportation safety and environmental responsibility.

Security posture

The website employs strong security headers including HSTS with includeSubDomains, X-Frame-Options, and a comprehensive Content Security Policy. The SSL certificate is valid and issued by a trusted CA, with no known vulnerabilities detected. However, the absence of TLS 1.2 or higher support is a notable gap. No explicit security policy or incident response information is published, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. The use of multiple third-party analytics and marketing tools requires ongoing privacy compliance monitoring. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from protocol upgrades and more visible security governance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Upgrade SSL/TLS configuration to enable TLS 1.2 or TLS 1.3 for stronger encryption
  2. Enable HSTS preload to improve protection against protocol downgrade attacks
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan on the website
  4. Implement and enable X-XSS-Protection header to mitigate cross-site scripting risks
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure privacy compliance and minimize data exposure

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern JavaScript framework (Nuxt.js) with Tailwind CSS for styling, indicating a contemporary front-end architecture. Hosting on Azure provides scalability and reliability. Integration with multiple analytics and marketing platforms shows a mature digital marketing strategy. Performance is fast with good mobile optimization and accessibility. SEO is well addressed with multilingual support and hreflang tags. The site uses a CMS (e-Spirit FirstSpirit) for content management. Technical risks include outdated TLS protocol support and extensive third-party dependencies that require careful management to avoid privacy and security issues.
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.
