0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

DHL-express.at is the Austrian localized website for DHL, the global leader in logistics and international shipping. The website offers comprehensive information about DHL's services including express document and package shipping, volume shipping for business customers, freight services, and supply chain logistics. The site targets both individual and business customers in Austria, providing tailored solutions and access to various DHL portals and services. Technically, the site is built on Adobe Experience Manager with integrations of Adobe Launch and other modern web technologies, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. However, a critical security gap exists as the site does not serve content over HTTPS, exposing users to potential risks. Security headers are well implemented, but the lack of SSL/TLS severely impacts the security posture. Privacy and cookie policies are present and GDPR compliant, reflecting good privacy practices. Overall, the site is professionally designed, content-rich, and trustworthy but urgently requires HTTPS implementation to meet modern security standards.

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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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

  2. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

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

DHL maintains a strong market position as a worldwide logistics leader, with a broad portfolio of services catering to various sectors including transportation, energy, retail, and manufacturing. The Austrian site reflects DHL's enterprise scale and global reach, offering specialized services such as supply chain management and freight forwarding. The business model focuses on B2B and B2C logistics solutions with an emphasis on express and volume shipping. The site links to multiple official DHL portals, indicating a well-integrated ecosystem. The presence of detailed service descriptions and calls to action for quotes and business accounts suggests a focus on customer acquisition and retention. The digital maturity is high, leveraging Adobe's CMS and analytics tools, supporting data-driven marketing and operational efficiency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates awareness of security best practices through the use of multiple security headers including X-Frame-Options, Content-Security-Policy, and Permissions-Policy. However, the absence of HTTPS is a critical vulnerability that undermines all other security measures. No TLS protocols or cipher suites are supported, and HSTS is not enabled, exposing users to interception and man-in-the-middle attacks. There is no evidence of OCSP stapling or session resumption, which could improve security and performance. No direct incident response or security policy information is found on the site. Overall, while some security controls are in place, the lack of SSL/TLS is a major deficiency that must be addressed immediately.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate across the entire site to secure user data and improve trust.
  2. Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload to enforce secure connections.
  3. Activate OCSP stapling and session resumption to enhance SSL performance and reliability.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Continue maintaining and updating security headers and conduct regular security audits to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities.
Technical notes

Notes

The site is powered by Adobe Experience Manager, a robust enterprise CMS, and uses Adobe Launch for tag management, indicating a sophisticated technical infrastructure. The site includes WebSocket connections for real-time features and uses modern web standards including HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript. Hosting appears to be via Akamai CDN, enhancing performance and availability. Accessibility features such as skip navigation links and ARIA roles are implemented, supporting inclusive design. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. However, performance metrics are unavailable, and the lack of HTTPS is a critical technical risk. The site is mobile optimized and well structured, providing a good 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.
