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, targeting businesses and organizations that require compliance and safety assurance. Their business model is service-oriented, offering a broad portfolio of testing, inspection, certification, and advisory services. The company leverages a global network of regional domains to serve diverse markets. Their competitive advantage lies in their extensive experience, comprehensive certifications, and strong brand presence. DEKRA's partnership ecosystem includes numerous regional and sector-specific domains, enhancing their market reach. The company shows strategic focus on sustainability, digital transformation, and compliance with evolving regulations such as NIS2 and RED Directive.

Security posture

DEKRA's security posture is robust, with strong enforcement of security headers including HSTS with subdomain inclusion, CSP, and other protective headers. The SSL certificate is valid and issued by a trusted authority. The absence of vulnerable protocols and cipher suites indicates a secure configuration. However, the lack of enabled TLS versions (TLS 1.2 or higher) is a notable gap that should be addressed to ensure secure communications. The X-XSS-Protection header is disabled, which may reduce protection against cross-site scripting attacks. No explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is found, suggesting an area for improvement in transparency and readiness. Overall, the site aligns well with GDPR and industry security standards but could enhance its security controls further.

Recommendations

  1. Enable TLS 1.2 or higher protocols to ensure secure and modern encrypted communications.
  2. Consider enabling HSTS preload to strengthen HTTPS enforcement across browsers.
  3. Activate and configure the X-XSS-Protection header to enhance protection against XSS attacks.
  4. Publish a clear vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and security posture.
  5. Regularly review and update privacy and cookie policies to maintain compliance with evolving regulations.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Nuxt.js and Vue.js frameworks, styled with Tailwind CSS, and hosted on Azure infrastructure. It integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools including Google Analytics, Matomo, Microsoft Clarity, Hotjar, and Application Insights, indicating a sophisticated data collection and user behavior analysis setup. The content management system is e-Spirit (FirstSpirit), supporting a complex multilingual and multi-regional content structure. Performance is optimized with preloading of scripts and responsive images. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and accessibility features. However, the absence of enabled TLS protocols is a technical risk that should be mitigated promptly.
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.
