The European Garage Equipment Association (EGEA) is a well-established industry association formed in 1980, representing national professional associations and companies involved in garage equipment manufacturing and importation. The association focuses on providing its members with up-to-date information on vehicle technologies, legislative requirements, and standards to maintain competitiveness in the automotive aftermarket sector. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand presence, targeting automotive industry professionals and stakeholders. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with a modern tech stack including Google Analytics and various marketing and tracking tools. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced and privacy policies in place, though some security headers could be improved.

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

8 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

    • 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

  2. 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.

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

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

EGEA occupies a niche market position as a European industry association with a medium organizational size and a focus on transportation and manufacturing sectors. Its business model revolves around advocacy, standardization, and information dissemination to members. The association leverages partnerships with major industry events and maintains a presence on social media and through newsletters. Revenue streams likely include membership fees and event participation. The website's content and linked domains reinforce its credibility and industry integration. Growth indicators include active event calendars and recent news updates. The partnership ecosystem includes major automotive trade shows and related organizations.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security foundation with HTTPS enabled and privacy compliance mechanisms such as cookie consent banners. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. The site does not publicly disclose an incident response policy or security certifications. The use of multiple third-party tracking and advertising scripts increases the attack surface and privacy considerations. Overall, the security posture is adequate for an informational association website but could be enhanced with additional headers and transparency on security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to address vulnerabilities and maintain security hygiene.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response plan to improve transparency and preparedness.
  4. Consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using the Enfold theme and several plugins including Events Manager and ExactMetrics for analytics. It integrates multiple Google services such as Fonts, Maps, Tag Manager, and YouTube embeds. The site uses a cookie compliance script from hu-manity.co to manage privacy consent. Performance is moderate with caching enabled but some scripts are blocked or delayed for privacy reasons. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and basic accessibility features. SEO is supported with proper meta tags and structured data. Technical risks include reliance on numerous third-party scripts which may impact performance and privacy. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified from the content.
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.
