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

Direct auto is a medium-sized authorized car dealership operating in the Czech Republic, specializing in new and used vehicles from brands such as Škoda, Volkswagen, Fiat, and Mazda. The company maintains multiple locations and offers authorized servicing with online appointment booking, positioning itself as a trusted regional automotive provider. Technically, the website leverages the Shopify platform with modern JavaScript frameworks including React and Vue.js, and integrates various analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, and Visual Website Optimizer. The site demonstrates good privacy compliance with a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism and GDPR-aligned privacy policy. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and appropriate security headers, though explicit security and incident response policies are not publicly available. The absence of WHOIS data reduces domain trust somewhat, but the overall digital maturity and business presence indicate a legitimate and professional operation.

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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

The company targets consumers in the Czech Republic seeking new and used cars, leveraging authorized dealership status for major automotive brands to maintain competitive advantage. Its business model combines vehicle sales with authorized servicing, supported by online tools for customer engagement. The website's integration with multiple marketing and analytics platforms suggests a data-driven approach to customer acquisition and retention. The presence of a dedicated subdomain for car collections indicates a structured product catalog strategy. However, the lack of publicly available WHOIS data and security policies suggests areas for improvement in transparency and trust-building. The company appears to have a solid regional footprint but could enhance its digital trust signals to support growth.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of security headers, and cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR requirements. The integration of multiple third-party analytics and marketing scripts is managed with consent controls, reducing privacy risks. However, the absence of a published security policy or incident response contact information limits transparency and preparedness perception. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. Recommendations include publishing explicit security and incident response policies, implementing a vulnerability disclosure program, and conducting regular audits of third-party scripts to mitigate supply chain risks. Overall, the site is secure but could improve in governance and communication aspects.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to minimize security risks from external dependencies.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Increase transparency around domain registration and ownership to strengthen trust signals.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Shopify platform using the Dawn theme, incorporating modern JavaScript frameworks such as React and Vue.js for dynamic UI components. It employs Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing integrations, alongside Microsoft Clarity and Visual Website Optimizer for user behavior analysis. The site uses CDN hosting via Shopify, ensuring good performance and availability. Cookie consent and GDPR compliance are managed through the Pandectes GDPR app. While the technical stack is modern and well-integrated, the site could benefit from enhanced accessibility features and performance optimizations. The lack of WHOIS data is a technical anomaly that should be investigated to ensure domain ownership transparency.
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.
