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

Elektrobit is a well-established automotive software company specializing in embedded software products for ECU development, AUTOSAR standards, automated driving, connected vehicles, and user experience solutions. The company operates primarily in the transportation and technology sectors and is a subsidiary of Continental AG. Their website reflects a mature digital presence with comprehensive product and service information targeting automotive industry professionals and OEMs. Technically, the site is built on WordPress hosted on AWS infrastructure, utilizing modern plugins and marketing tools. However, a critical security gap exists as the website lacks a valid SSL/TLS certificate, exposing users to potential risks and undermining trust. Privacy compliance is strong with GDPR-aligned cookie consent and privacy policies. Overall, Elektrobit demonstrates high business credibility and professionalism but must urgently address its HTTPS deficiency to improve security posture and user trust.

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

7 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

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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

  3. 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

Elektrobit holds a strong market position as a specialist in automotive embedded software, offering a broad portfolio including AUTOSAR Classic and Adaptive platforms, cybersecurity solutions, and automated driving software. Their B2B business model focuses on software development, engineering services, and training for automotive OEMs and suppliers. The company leverages partnerships with major players like Cognizant, Canonical, and Amazon to enhance its offerings. The website content and structure support lead generation and customer engagement through detailed product pages and contact forms. Marketing and analytics integrations indicate a data-driven approach to customer insights and outreach.

Security posture

The website's security posture is weak due to the absence of HTTPS, no TLS support, and missing security headers. While the company provides a security incident reporting page and uses cookie consent mechanisms, the lack of SSL/TLS is a critical vulnerability that could expose visitors to interception and data tampering. No known vulnerabilities or malware indicators were detected in the content or scripts. The site uses reputable third-party plugins and services but should implement HTTPS and additional security headers to align with best practices and protect user data.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Configure HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload directives.
  3. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  6. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
  7. Consider adding explicit contact emails and phone numbers for customer support.
  8. Audit third-party scripts and marketing tools for privacy and security compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website runs on a WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Owl Carousel, and various plugins for SEO, cookie consent, and marketing automation. Hosting is on AWS infrastructure with Cloudfront CDN for content delivery, ensuring good availability and scalability. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. The site is mobile responsive and SEO optimized with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). However, the lack of HTTPS is a major technical deficiency. The site uses multiple third-party analytics and marketing tools, which are integrated with user consent mechanisms. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but requires urgent security upgrades.
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.
