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

The website ford.ba serves as the official digital presence for Ford in Bosnia and Herzegovina, offering comprehensive information about Ford vehicles, services, and dealership locations. It targets local consumers interested in purchasing or servicing Ford vehicles, including electric and hybrid models. The site demonstrates a solid market position as the authorized Ford brand portal in the region, providing key services such as vehicle configurators, test drives, and fleet customer support. Technically, the website employs modern JavaScript frameworks and libraries, including Turbo Rails, Stimulus, Mapbox GL JS, and Google Tag Manager, indicating a mature and contemporary digital infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices and a professional design. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and standard security headers present; however, privacy compliance could be improved by implementing visible cookie consent mechanisms and publishing accessible privacy and terms of service pages. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professionally maintained, though enhancements in privacy transparency and incident response information are recommended.

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

5 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 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 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. 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.

  4. 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

Ford.ba operates as an essential entity within the transportation sector, representing Ford Motor Company's interests in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The business model focuses on automotive sales, after-sales services, and fleet management. The website reflects a medium-sized operation with consistent branding and a clear target audience of local consumers and fleet clients. The presence of multiple vehicle categories, including electric and hybrid options, aligns with current market trends and sustainability goals. The company leverages social media channels like Facebook and Instagram to engage customers. While no explicit revenue or partnership data is disclosed, the site’s comprehensive vehicle catalog and service offerings suggest a well-established market presence. Strategic observations include the need for enhanced privacy and security disclosures to align with evolving regulatory requirements and customer expectations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and standard security headers such as X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, and Content-Security-Policy implemented. There is no evidence of exposed sensitive data or use of vulnerable libraries. The use of Google Tag Manager is configured with default consent set to denied, indicating a privacy-conscious approach. However, the absence of a visible cookie consent banner and lack of published incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies represent compliance gaps, particularly under GDPR and NIS2 frameworks. The site lacks explicit security policy documentation and dedicated contact channels for security incidents, which could impact incident response readiness and security culture perception. Overall, the security posture is solid but would benefit from enhanced transparency and formalized policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a visible and compliant cookie consent banner to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Publish accessible and comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages.
  3. Create and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Provide explicit incident response contact information, such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  5. Enhance website accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack, likely Ruby on Rails, utilizing Turbo Rails and Stimulus for frontend interactivity. It integrates third-party libraries such as Mapbox GL JS for mapping and noUiSlider for UI components. Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics are used for tracking, with consent settings defaulting to denied, reflecting privacy awareness. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good SEO metadata, including Open Graph tags and JSON-LD structured data for enhanced search engine understanding. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and use of CDN-hosted libraries. Technical risks are minimal, but the absence of explicit privacy and security policy pages and cookie consent mechanisms represent areas for modernization and compliance improvement.
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.
