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

Ford.rs is the official authorized importer and service provider for Ford motor vehicles in Serbia, operating since 2008. The website offers a comprehensive catalog of Ford vehicles including passenger cars, SUVs, hybrids, electric vehicles, and commercial vehicles, targeting Serbian consumers interested in Ford products. The business model focuses on vehicle sales, authorized servicing, test drives, and issuance of manufacturer certificates, positioning itself as a trusted local Ford representative. Technically, the site uses modern JavaScript libraries and frameworks such as Turbo Rails, Stimulus, Mapbox GL JS, and integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile optimized with good navigation and professional design. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive data, but lacks explicit security headers and published privacy or cookie policies. The domain is well-established since 2008, registered with a reputable registrar, and shows no suspicious patterns. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and serves its business purpose effectively, though improvements in privacy compliance and security headers 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

The website represents a medium-sized business in the transportation sector, specifically automotive retail and service. It holds an official position as Ford's authorized importer and service center in Serbia, which provides competitive advantage and trust. Revenue streams likely include vehicle sales, servicing, and related accessories. The target customers are Serbian individuals and businesses seeking Ford vehicles and services. The site shows a strong partnership with Ford brand and uses official branding and social media channels. Growth indicators include active promotions and a wide vehicle portfolio. The partnership ecosystem includes social media platforms and CDN providers. Strategic observations suggest focus on digital presence and customer engagement via test drives and service scheduling.

Security posture

The security maturity level is moderate. HTTPS is enforced, and Google Tag Manager is configured with default consent denying ad and analytics storage, indicating privacy awareness. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces defense in depth. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. There is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure policy, which is a compliance gap. GDPR compliance is partial due to missing privacy and cookie policies. The site demonstrates basic data protection practices but could improve incident response readiness and transparency. Security culture indicators are limited from public data.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies clearly accessible from the website footer or header.
  2. Implement and enforce security headers such as CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to enhance DNS security.
  4. Add a visible cookie consent banner allowing users to manage preferences to improve GDPR compliance.
  5. Create and publish a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern tech stack with Ruby on Rails backend (implied), Turbo Rails, Stimulus JS, and uses Mapbox GL JS for maps and noUiSlider for UI components. It leverages Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile responsive and uses Swiper for carousels. Performance is moderate with some heavy image usage but generally good structure and SEO meta tags. Accessibility is basic but could be improved with ARIA roles and better keyboard navigation. Hosting provider is not explicitly identified but domain registrar is United Internet d.o.o. The site lacks CMS identification but appears custom-built or heavily customized. Technical risks include missing security headers and lack of DNSSEC.
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.
