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 operates as an essential entity in the safety and certification industry, serving a diverse range of sectors such as transport, energy, manufacturing, real estate, healthcare, education, and government. Its business model revolves around providing expert services including inspections, certifications, training, and consulting. The company has a strong global presence with numerous subsidiaries and a wide network of locations, enabling it to cater to both private and business customers. DEKRA's competitive advantage lies in its comprehensive service portfolio, strong brand consistency, and adherence to high-quality standards. The company actively engages in sustainability and compliance initiatives, reflecting its commitment to environmental and social governance. Partnerships with specialized service providers and integration of advanced digital tools further enhance its market position and operational efficiency.

Security posture

DEKRA exhibits a strong security posture with the implementation of multiple security headers such as HSTS with subdomain inclusion, X-Frame-Options set to SAMEORIGIN, and a strict Content Security Policy. The SSL certificate is valid, issued by a reputable authority, and uses a strong key length. No known SSL vulnerabilities like Heartbleed or POODLE are present. However, the absence of TLS 1.2 and 1.3 protocols may limit compatibility and security. The site employs extensive tracking and marketing tools, but these are managed with clear privacy policies and user consent mechanisms, indicating good compliance with GDPR. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies are not explicitly found, suggesting an area for improvement. Overall, DEKRA maintains a secure environment with room for enhancements in protocol support and transparency around incident handling.

Recommendations

  1. Enable TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 protocols to improve security and compatibility.
  2. Consider submitting the domain for HSTS preload to enhance transport security.
  3. Review and minimize the use of 'unsafe-inline' and 'unsafe-eval' in the Content Security Policy.
  4. Implement Subresource Integrity (SRI) for all external scripts to prevent tampering.
  5. Establish and publish a clear vulnerability disclosure and incident response policy.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including Nuxt.js and Tailwind CSS, hosted on Microsoft Azure with integration of various analytics and marketing tools such as Matomo, Google Analytics, Hotjar, and Microsoft Clarity. The content management system is e-Spirit FirstSpirit, indicating a robust enterprise-grade CMS. The site demonstrates fast performance and excellent mobile optimization, with good accessibility and SEO practices. The extensive use of third-party scripts and tracking services is balanced with comprehensive privacy and cookie consent mechanisms. The technical infrastructure supports a wide range of services and content, reflecting a mature and well-maintained digital platform.
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.
