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

GLS is a well-established parcel delivery and logistics company operating across multiple countries, primarily in Europe. The website serves as a gateway to localized GLS services, targeting both business and consumer customers who require reliable parcel shipping solutions. The company maintains a professional online presence with consistent branding and a focus on user experience through modern web technologies and animations. The website includes a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism, reflecting good privacy compliance practices. Technically, the site uses TLS 1.2 with a valid SSL certificate, SPF and DMARC records for email security, and integrates analytics tools such as Piano Analytics and Google Analytics. However, there is room for improvement in security headers and TLS protocol upgrades. No direct contact information or explicit security policies were found on the landing page, which may require further exploration on localized sites. Overall, the website demonstrates a solid digital maturity with moderate performance and good mobile optimization.

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.

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

GLS operates a decentralized business model with country-specific partner websites, indicating a broad partnership ecosystem. The company targets a wide audience needing parcel delivery services, leveraging a strong European market position. The use of multiple email and SPF configurations suggests integration with enterprise-grade email and marketing platforms like Salesforce and Amazon SES. The presence of social media channels on LinkedIn and YouTube supports brand engagement and customer outreach. The website's content and navigation are designed to funnel users to their respective country services, reflecting a user-centric approach. The absence of direct contact details on the main page suggests that customer support is likely handled on localized sites or through partner channels.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid TLS 1.2 certificate and has implemented SPF and DMARC records to protect email domains from spoofing. No critical SSL vulnerabilities were detected, and no WAF or security challenge mechanisms are present, indicating open accessibility. However, the lack of HSTS, OCSP stapling, and modern TLS 1.3 support limits the security posture. Security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not detected, which could expose the site to certain web attacks. The cookie consent mechanism is robust, offering granular user control and compliance with GDPR. No explicit security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure information is available, which could be improved to enhance transparency and trust.

Recommendations

  1. Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload to enforce HTTPS and prevent downgrade attacks.
  2. Implement OCSP stapling to improve SSL certificate revocation checking and reduce latency.
  3. Upgrade TLS support to include TLS 1.3 for enhanced security and performance benefits.
  4. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  5. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and facilitate vulnerability reporting.
Technical notes

Notes

The website uses modern JavaScript frameworks and libraries, including Lottie for animations and a cookie consent plugin for privacy management. The DNS infrastructure is managed via Deutsche Telekom nameservers without DNSSEC or CAA records, which could be considered for future security enhancements. Email security is well configured with SPF and DMARC records covering multiple email sending services. Performance is moderate with a page load time of approximately 3.4 seconds and 26 resources loaded. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design and device-specific animations. SEO is basic with canonical tags and alternate hreflang links for localization. Accessibility is basic but could be improved with more ARIA roles and semantic HTML. Hosting appears to be stable and professional, but no CMS or specific platform is detected from the source.
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.
