44/100

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

DS AUTOMOTION GmbH is a medium-sized Austrian company specializing in the development and manufacture of driverless transport systems and autonomous mobile robotics, with nearly 40 years of experience. The company operates internationally and is part of the SSI Schaefer Group, enhancing its market position. Their key offerings include automated guided vehicles (AGVs), autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), fleet management software (NAVIOS), and custom vehicle solutions tailored to various industries such as manufacturing and intralogistics. The website reflects a professional and modern digital presence built on TYPO3 CMS, featuring responsive design and good SEO practices. However, the absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS implementation significantly undermines the site's security posture.

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.

    • 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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • GDPR outside view: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

DS AUTOMOTION holds a strong market position as a leading expert in autonomous vehicle technology, targeting industrial clients requiring automation solutions. Their business model focuses on manufacturing and system integration, supported by software solutions for fleet and energy management. The affiliation with SSI Schaefer Group provides strategic advantages and credibility. The company maintains active social media channels and employs modern consent management tools, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. Growth indicators include continuous innovation and participation in industry standards such as the Layout Interchange Format (LIF).

Security posture

The website's security posture is weak due to the lack of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols, resulting in no HTTPS protection. While some security headers are present, critical best practices like HSTS enforcement, OCSP stapling, and session resumption are missing. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are found. This exposes users to risks such as data interception and undermines trust. Immediate remediation is required to secure communications and enhance overall security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 or TLS 1.3) and strong cipher suites to secure data in transit.
  3. Implement and enforce HSTS with includeSubDomains and preload options to prevent protocol downgrade attacks.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Regularly audit and update security headers and configurations to align with best practices.
  6. Enhance privacy compliance by ensuring GDPR-aligned privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms are comprehensive and transparent.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system, indicating a mature technical foundation. The use of Matomo analytics and Cookiebot for consent management reflects a commitment to privacy-aware tracking. Hosting appears to be on Google Cloud infrastructure, providing scalability and reliability. The site is mobile-optimized with good accessibility and SEO features. However, the lack of SSL/TLS and disabled HTTPS protocols represent critical technical debt and security risks. Performance data is unavailable, but the presence of deferred JavaScript and responsive images suggests optimization efforts. Modernization opportunities include securing transport layers and enhancing security policies.
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.
