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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  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

  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

The company positions itself as a niche supplier of GM approved tools, leveraging dealer authentication to control access to promotions and services. The business model is primarily e-commerce with a focus on B2B customers such as dealers and service centers. Partnerships with entities like Snap-on (sbsprograms.snapon.com) suggest integration with established automotive tool providers. The website content and structure indicate a professional approach with clear navigation and targeted services, although the lack of visible privacy and security policies may impact trust with some users.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS and has domain registration protections in place, including clientDeleteProhibited and clientTransferProhibited statuses. DNS is managed via Imperva SecureDNS, enhancing DNS security, though DNSSEC is not enabled. No explicit security headers were detected in the provided content, and there is no published security or incident response policy. The use of third-party scripts such as Google Analytics and Google Translate introduces moderate tracking but no obvious vulnerabilities. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved with enhanced DNS security, security headers, and published policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response contact information.
  3. Add cookie consent banners and mechanisms to comply with privacy regulations such as GDPR.
  4. Deploy security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to minimize vulnerability exposure.

Key observations

  3. Dealer login required for access to promotions and dealer services, indicating controlled access for authorized users.
  4. No privacy or cookie consent banners detected, which may be a compliance gap.
  5. No visible security policy or incident response information published.
  6. Use of multiple third-party scripts including Google Analytics and Google Translate.
  7. No DNSSEC enabled, which is a minor security shortfall.
  8. No explicit security headers detected in the provided content.
  9. Domain registration and DNS setup indicate a legitimate and controlled environment.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a custom ASP.NET WebForms platform using jQuery, Bootstrap, and other common JavaScript libraries. It integrates Google Analytics for tracking and Google Translate for multilingual support. The hosting and DNS setup are professional, with MarkMonitor as registrar and Imperva SecureDNS for DNS management. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is basic but present. The technical stack is mature but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security configurations.
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.
