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

DPD is a major international parcel delivery and logistics company operating under the Geopost group umbrella. The company provides parcel delivery services across more than 50 countries, leveraging a network of 57,000 delivery experts and multiple subsidiary brands such as Chronopost, SEUR, and BRT. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, targeting both business and consumer customers seeking reliable shipping solutions. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern frameworks like Bootstrap and uses a variety of custom plugins to support its services. The site is mobile optimized and includes accessibility features, though these could be enhanced further. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and some security best practices observed, but additional HTTP security headers could improve protection. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms in place. However, the absence of WHOIS data for the domain reduces transparency and slightly impacts trustworthiness. Overall, the website is professional, functional, and trustworthy, supporting DPD's position as a leading logistics provider.

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.

Priority findings

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

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

DPD holds a strong market position as a leading parcel delivery network with extensive international reach. Its business model focuses on parcel logistics, express shipping, and customer account management, serving a broad audience including e-commerce businesses and individual consumers. The company benefits from a robust partnership and subsidiary ecosystem, enhancing its service coverage and brand recognition. The website's content and linked domains confirm the multinational nature of the business. The use of multiple country-specific domains and localized content supports regional market penetration. The company’s digital presence is mature, leveraging modern web technologies and marketing tools to engage customers and track performance. Strategic observations include the need to improve transparency around domain registration and enhance security headers to maintain competitive advantage and customer trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with mandatory HTTPS and secure form handling. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents a gap that could be exploited in certain attack scenarios. There is no visible incident response or security policy information, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. GDPR compliance is evident through privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms, but no dedicated vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from additional hardening and clearer communication of security practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options HTTP headers to strengthen security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate risks from vulnerable components.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data to improve domain registration transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.4.2 with a combination of popular libraries and frameworks including jQuery 3.6.0, Bootstrap, and FontAwesome. Custom plugins developed by DPD support specialized functionality such as depot finders, job finders, and FAQ widgets. The site uses Google Tag Manager and TagCommander for analytics and marketing, indicating a mature digital marketing infrastructure. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, especially in loading times and script management. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design and adaptive layouts. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, structured data (JSON-LD), and multilingual support. Technical risks include dependency on multiple third-party scripts and the absence of some security headers. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and well-maintained but could benefit from performance tuning and enhanced security configurations.
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.
