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

Ford Sverige operates as the official Swedish website for Ford Motor Company, providing comprehensive information on their vehicle lineup including personal cars, transport vehicles, electric and hybrid models, as well as services such as financing, leasing, and aftersales support. The website targets Swedish consumers and businesses, offering localized content and multiple customer engagement channels. Technically, the site employs modern web technologies including Ruby on Rails, Stimulus JS, Tailwind CSS, and integrates third-party services like Mapbox and Google Tag Manager, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure with good performance and mobile optimization. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced, CSRF protection, and consent-based tracking, though explicit security policies and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not publicly available. Overall, the domain registration data and website content align well, indicating a legitimate and trustworthy online presence. Strategic recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, publishing security and incident response policies, and enhancing security headers for improved protection.

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.

Technical appendix

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

Business context

Business profile

Ford Sverige holds a strong market position as the official Ford brand representative in Sweden, serving a large audience with a broad product portfolio spanning passenger vehicles, commercial transport, and electrified models. The business model integrates direct sales, financing, leasing, and aftersales services, supported by a robust digital platform. Partnerships with related Ford service domains and lifestyle shops enhance the ecosystem. The website's content quality and branding consistency reinforce trust and professionalism, supporting customer acquisition and retention. Growth indicators include emphasis on electric and hybrid vehicles and digital configurators. The company benefits from the global Ford Motor Company brand, with a domain age of over 25 years reflecting established market presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enforced and CSRF tokens implemented, reducing risks of common web attacks. Use of Google Tag Manager is configured with default denied consent, respecting user privacy. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure statements represents a compliance and transparency gap. DNSSEC is not enabled, which could improve DNS security. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Security headers are partially present but could be enhanced with Content-Security-Policy and other modern headers. Overall, the security posture is good but can be improved by formalizing policies and enhancing DNS and header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Add or enhance Content-Security-Policy and other security headers to mitigate cross-site scripting and related attacks.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are included.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack featuring Ruby on Rails backend with Stimulus JS and Turbo for frontend interactivity, styled with Tailwind CSS. It integrates Mapbox for mapping and noUiSlider for UI components. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing with consent management. The site is mobile-optimized, fast loading, and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) for enhanced search engine understanding. CSRF tokens are present indicating secure form handling. Hosting details are not explicit but domain registrar is CSC Corp Domains, a reputable provider. Overall, the technical implementation is robust, supporting a professional and user-friendly experience.
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.
