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

FORVIA is a major global technology supplier in the automotive industry, ranking as the 7th largest worldwide. The company emphasizes sustainability and innovation, offering a broad portfolio of automotive technologies including electrification, automated driving, and sustainable materials. The website is professionally designed using Drupal 10, with modern web standards and analytics via Matomo. Security posture is strong with HTTPS and security headers, though explicit security policies and incident response details are not published. WHOIS data is missing, which is unusual for a corporate domain and suggests privacy protection or recent registration. Overall, the site presents a credible and professional business presence with room for improvement in transparency and direct contact information.

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

3 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 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

FORVIA operates in the transportation and technology sectors, targeting automotive manufacturers, investors, and industry partners. The business model focuses on supplying advanced automotive components and systems with a strong sustainability agenda. The company maintains investor relations, publishes corporate brochures, and highlights strategic appointments, indicating a mature corporate structure. Partnerships with entities like HELLA and MATERI'ACT enhance its market ecosystem. The website content and navigation are clear and comprehensive, supporting business growth and stakeholder engagement.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and implements key security headers, indicating a solid baseline security posture. Forms appear secured with CSRF protections, and no sensitive data is exposed in the HTML. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency. No direct security contact emails were found. The use of Matomo analytics suggests privacy-conscious tracking. Overall, security maturity is good but could be enhanced by publishing formal policies and contact channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Provide direct company contact emails and phone numbers for customer and security inquiries.
  4. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and analytics for security compliance.
  5. Enhance data protection officer visibility and GDPR compliance disclosures.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10, a modern and secure CMS platform, with responsive design and accessibility features. It uses SVG graphics and CSS3 for a polished visual experience. Matomo analytics is employed for privacy-respecting user tracking. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. No critical technical vulnerabilities were detected in the HTML content. The absence of WHOIS data is a technical anomaly but does not impact site functionality.
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.
