The website provides comprehensive product information, dealer locators, financing options, and driver training resources, targeting commercial fleet operators and vocational truck buyers. Technically, the website employs modern JavaScript frameworks such as Alpine.js, integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools including Microsoft Application Insights, Google Tag Manager, and Usercentrics CMP for cookie consent management, demonstrating a mature digital infrastructure.

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

6 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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

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

Freightliner holds a strong market position as a leading heavy-duty truck manufacturer with a broad product portfolio including electric and natural gas trucks, reflecting a commitment to sustainability and innovation. The business model centers on manufacturing, sales, parts and services, financing, and driver training, supported by a robust dealer network across North America. The company benefits from its parent Daimler Truck North America LLC, which enhances credibility and operational scale. The website's integration of advanced marketing and analytics tools indicates a data-driven approach to customer engagement and market expansion. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the homepage suggests a focus on dealer-mediated customer interactions. The company’s digital ecosystem includes related domains for merchandise and corporate information, reinforcing brand consistency and customer service capabilities.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with mandatory HTTPS usage and deployment of a consent management platform to comply with GDPR. Multiple third-party analytics and marketing scripts are used, which necessitates ongoing vigilance to prevent vulnerabilities. No explicit security headers were detected in the HTML source, which could be improved to enhance protection against common web attacks. There is no publicly disclosed incident response or vulnerability disclosure policy, which is a gap in transparency and security readiness. The lack of WHOIS data is a minor concern but does not detract significantly from the overall trustworthiness given the strong brand presence and professional site content. Recommendations include implementing and publishing security policies, enhancing HTTP security headers, and providing clear security contact information.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and explicitly publish security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen web security.
  2. Establish and disclose a formal vulnerability disclosure and incident response policy to improve transparency and security posture.
  3. Provide clear security contact channels (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email addresses) to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate risks from external dependencies.
  5. Consider publishing more detailed business contact information to enhance customer trust and support.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including Alpine.js for reactive UI components, Microsoft Application Insights for telemetry, and Usercentrics for consent management, indicating a mature and compliant technical infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and prefetching of scripts for performance. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured data in JSON-LD format. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified, but the use of Azure Application Insights suggests Microsoft Azure infrastructure. Performance is moderate with multiple external scripts, but overall user experience is smooth. There is no detected CMS, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and to document technical policies for enhanced transparency.
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.
