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 portal to regional GLS locations, offering parcel shipping services and logistics solutions. The company maintains a professional online presence with clear branding, a comprehensive privacy policy, and a cookie consent mechanism that complies with GDPR requirements. Social media engagement is evident through LinkedIn and YouTube channels, supporting brand trust and customer engagement. Technically, the website employs modern JavaScript technologies including Lottie animations for enhanced user experience and a cookie consent plugin for privacy management. The site is mobile-optimized and demonstrates good SEO practices, although explicit CMS or framework usage is not detected. Hosting appears to be managed by a reputable registrar, Deutsche Telekom AG, indicating stable infrastructure. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and implements cookie consent controls, but lacks visible advanced security headers and published security policies or incident response contacts. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file suggests room for improvement in transparency and security maturity. Overall, GLS's website is professional, trustworthy, and compliant with privacy regulations, suitable for its enterprise-level transportation business. Strategic enhancements in security policy publication and technical security headers would further strengthen its security posture and user trust.

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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  2. 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

  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
    • High

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 22 days

      What to do: Renew SSL certificate before expiration

      • NIS2 21(2)(h)
      • IR 2024/2690 9.2(c): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 9.2(c): Cryptography

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 holds a strong market position as a European parcel delivery service provider with an enterprise-scale operation. Its business model focuses on parcel logistics and regional service localization, supported by partner sites in Canada, the US, and Germany. The company targets general consumers and businesses requiring reliable parcel shipping. Revenue streams likely include parcel delivery fees and logistics services. The partnership ecosystem is evident through multiple country-specific domains. Growth indicators include a modern website with multi-language support and GDPR-compliant privacy practices. The company maintains consistent branding and trust signals, such as privacy policies and social media presence, reinforcing its credibility in the transportation sector.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and a robust cookie consent mechanism that respects user privacy and GDPR compliance. However, the lack of explicit security headers (e.g., Content Security Policy, HSTS) and absence of published security policies or incident response contacts indicate gaps in security transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or sensitive data exposures were found in the analyzed content, suggesting good baseline security hygiene. The absence of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file limits external security engagement. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but could benefit from enhanced security documentation and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  2. Add security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or publish a security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses modern JavaScript technologies including Lottie animations for dynamic content and a cookie consent plugin for privacy management. The HTML structure is valid and includes appropriate meta tags for SEO and social media integration (Open Graph, Twitter cards). The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design elements and uses CSS variables for theming. Hosting is managed by Deutsche Telekom AG, indicating reliable infrastructure. Performance is moderate, with deferred script loading and font preloading implemented. No CMS or specific web frameworks were detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Technical risks are minimal but could be reduced by adding security headers and improving accessibility compliance.
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.
