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 UK operates in multiple sectors including automotive, industrial safety, medical devices, and sustainability. Its business model focuses on providing consulting, certification, training, and claims services to a diverse client base including insurance companies, leasing firms, and regulated industries. The company leverages a global network with regional partners and maintains a strong digital presence with localized content. Its strategic focus on safety, compliance, and sustainability positions it well in competitive markets. The extensive content and resource offerings indicate a mature content strategy aimed at educating and engaging its target audiences.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with comprehensive security headers such as HSTS, CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options. The SSL certificate is valid and issued by a reputable CA (Go Daddy). No vulnerable protocols or cipher suites are enabled, though the absence of TLS 1.2 or higher is a notable gap. Content Security Policy is detailed but includes 'unsafe-inline' and 'unsafe-eval', which could be tightened. No explicit security policy or incident response information is found, which could be a gap in transparency. The site uses multiple third-party scripts and tracking tools, but these are managed with consent mechanisms, supporting GDPR compliance. Overall, the security measures are strong but could be enhanced by updating TLS protocols and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable TLS 1.2 or higher to ensure modern encryption standards.
  2. Consider submitting the domain for HSTS preload to enhance security.
  3. Review and tighten Content Security Policy to remove 'unsafe-inline' and 'unsafe-eval' directives.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan on the website for transparency.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure ongoing privacy compliance.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Nuxt.js and Vue.js frameworks, styled with Tailwind CSS, and hosted on Microsoft Azure. It integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools including Google Analytics, Matomo, Hotjar, Microsoft Clarity, and LinkedIn Insight Tag. The CMS used is e-Spirit, which supports complex content structures and multi-language capabilities. Performance is fast with optimized media assets and responsive design ensuring excellent mobile optimization. Accessibility is good with focus-visible styles and semantic HTML. SEO is well addressed with hreflang tags, meta descriptions, and structured navigation. The technical infrastructure is modern and robust, supporting a high-quality user experience.
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.
