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

Ford.bg is the official website for Ford Bulgaria, providing comprehensive information about Ford's passenger and commercial vehicles, including new and used cars, financing options, and after-sales services. The site targets Bulgarian consumers interested in Ford vehicles and related services. The website demonstrates a mature digital infrastructure with modern JavaScript frameworks, structured data for SEO, and integration with marketing and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager and Mapbox. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and privacy compliance evident through cookie consent mechanisms and GDPR-aligned privacy policies. However, some security headers could be enhanced, and incident response information is not publicly available. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and well-positioned to serve its market segment effectively.

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 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. 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.

Add-on

Leaked records that mention ford.bg, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for ford.bg right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Ford.bg operates as a key digital channel for Ford Motor Company in Bulgaria, supporting vehicle sales, promotions, and customer engagement. The business model focuses on direct consumer sales, dealer network support, and after-sales services. The site links to partner domains for used cars and quick delivery vehicles, indicating a broad ecosystem. The presence of social media links and structured data enhances brand visibility and customer trust. The domain's WHOIS privacy protection aligns with GDPR requirements and does not detract from legitimacy given the consistent branding and nameserver usage. The site is likely part of a large enterprise with significant market presence in the automotive sector in Bulgaria.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a good SSL configuration and uses Google Tag Manager for analytics while denying ad and analytics storage by default, indicating a privacy-conscious approach. Security headers are partially present but could be improved by adding explicit Content-Security-Policy and other headers. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a public security policy or incident response contact reduces transparency. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from enhanced header policies and published security practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a comprehensive Content-Security-Policy header to mitigate XSS risks.
  2. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to avoid vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
  5. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies to reflect evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The site uses a modern tech stack including Ruby on Rails frameworks (Turbo, Stimulus), Mapbox for mapping, noUiSlider for UI components, and various JavaScript libraries for enhanced interactivity. The site is mobile optimized and uses structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO. Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement in loading speed and accessibility. Hosting provider details are not explicit. The site uses Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing, with privacy settings denying ad and analytics storage by default, reflecting good privacy practices.
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.
