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

Europcar is a well-established international car rental company offering vehicle and van rentals worldwide. The website presents a professional and user-friendly interface with multilingual support, targeting a broad audience including leisure and business travelers. Key services include online booking, loyalty programs, and a diverse fleet of vehicles. The technical infrastructure leverages modern JavaScript frameworks such as Nuxt.js and integrates performance monitoring via Dynatrace RUM. The site is optimized for mobile devices and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and relevant content. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and secure form inputs, though explicit security headers and privacy policies are not clearly visible in the provided content. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain raises some concerns about registration transparency, but the overall branding and content quality suggest legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include enhancing privacy compliance, adding security headers, and providing clear contact information for security incidents.

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. 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 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

Europcar holds a strong market position as a leading car rental provider with a global footprint spanning over 140 countries and thousands of offices. The business model focuses on vehicle rentals for various customer segments, including individual travelers and corporate clients. Revenue streams likely include rental fees, loyalty program memberships, and negotiated corporate rates. The company maintains a consistent brand identity across multiple localized websites, indicating a mature partnership and subsidiary ecosystem. Growth indicators include active promotions and a broad vehicle fleet catering to diverse customer needs. The website's integration with performance and analytics tools reflects a commitment to digital maturity and customer experience optimization.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with enforced HTTPS and secure handling of user inputs in booking forms. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of explicit privacy and cookie policies, as well as incident response contact information, indicates potential compliance gaps with GDPR and other data protection regulations. The use of Dynatrace RUM for monitoring is a positive indicator of proactive performance and security management. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by implementing recommended headers and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publicly display comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen defense against common web attacks.
  3. Provide clear contact information for security incidents and consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly audit WHOIS and domain registration information to ensure transparency and trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies, primarily Nuxt.js, a Vue.js framework, enabling server-side rendering and improved SEO. It employs lazy loading for images and integrates Dynatrace Real User Monitoring for performance analytics. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design elements and accessible navigation. While performance is moderate, there is potential for further optimization through enhanced caching and resource minification. The absence of a detected CMS suggests a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting details are not explicitly available from the HTML content. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a robust and scalable online presence suitable for a global enterprise.
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.
