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

The website emeraldaisle.ca serves as a marketing and informational platform for the Emerald Club membership program under National Car Rental, a large and established transportation company. It offers users a virtual tour of the Emerald Aisle vehicle selection experience, emphasizing convenience and choice for frequent renters. The site is professionally designed with consistent branding and targets business and leisure travelers in the US and Canada. Technically, the site employs a mature JavaScript stack including jQuery, Modernizr, and various UI libraries, with Adobe Launch and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. Privacy compliance is well addressed through OneTrust cookie consent and a comprehensive privacy policy hosted on a partner domain. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, though security headers could be improved. The lack of WHOIS data suggests privacy protection, which is justified for this business type. Overall, the site is credible, secure, and user-friendly, supporting National Car Rental's premium membership offering.

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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. 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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

Emerald Club is positioned as a premium car rental membership program offering bypass of counters and vehicle choice at reserved rates. The business model focuses on customer convenience and loyalty, targeting frequent renters and business travelers. The site links to National Car Rental, indicating it is a subsidiary brand under Enterprise Holdings. The presence of multiple vehicle tiers (Emerald Aisle, Executive, Premiere Selection) suggests segmentation to capture different customer preferences. The marketing content is clear and professional, with no direct sales or booking forms on this site, likely redirecting users to the main National Car Rental platform. The partnership with privacy and analytics providers reflects a mature digital marketing ecosystem.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive data. Use of OneTrust for cookie consent indicates attention to privacy compliance. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options is a gap that could be addressed to enhance protection against common web attacks. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are provided, which is a minor compliance gap. Overall, the site appears secure for its informational purpose, but could improve transparency and defense-in-depth measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Add visible contact information including dedicated security or incident response contacts.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.
  5. Consider integrating structured data (JSON-LD) for improved SEO and richer search results.

Technical notes

Notes

The site uses a combination of legacy and modern JavaScript libraries, including jQuery 1.11.0 and Modernizr 2.6.2, alongside UI frameworks like jQuery Mmenu and Slick Carousel. Adobe Launch and Google Tag Manager are used for analytics and marketing tag management. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good navigation clarity. Performance is moderate, likely due to multiple heavy JavaScript dependencies. No CMS or hosting provider information is directly detectable. The site lacks structured data markup which could improve SEO. Overall, the technical implementation is stable but could benefit from modernization and performance optimization.
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.
