Risk levelLow

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

Hekla hf. is a prominent Icelandic automotive dealership representing major brands such as Volkswagen, Mitsubishi, Audi, Skoda, and Ora. The company offers a comprehensive range of services including new and used car sales, vehicle servicing, parts and accessories sales, and electric vehicle charging solutions. Their digital presence includes an e-commerce platform and customer portals, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. The website is well-structured, mobile-optimized, and integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools, indicating a strong digital marketing strategy. However, the absence of publicly available WHOIS data and explicit privacy and terms of service pages slightly detracts from the overall trustworthiness and compliance posture. Security practices are generally sound with HTTPS enforced and no obvious vulnerabilities, but improvements in security headers and incident response disclosures are recommended.

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

4 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, YouTube, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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

Hekla holds a strong market position in Iceland's automotive sector, leveraging partnerships with multiple global automotive brands. Their business model combines retail sales with service and digital commerce, targeting both individual consumers and corporate clients. The company demonstrates growth orientation through digital tools like online booking and customer portals. Certifications and awards enhance their credibility. The partnership ecosystem includes official brand websites and local job platforms, supporting operational and recruitment activities. The website content and structure reflect a customer-centric approach with clear navigation and comprehensive product/service information.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and integrates standard tracking and marketing scripts securely. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and absence of a published security policy or incident response contact reduces the overall security maturity. There is no visible vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file, which are best practices for transparency and incident management. The cookie consent mechanism is implemented, supporting privacy compliance. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by adopting additional security headers and formalizing incident response communications.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear and accessible privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve legal compliance and user trust.
  3. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible security reporting.
  4. Add incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness for security events.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and ensure compliance with evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Moya CMS platform, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries such as Swiper.js for carousels and Fancyapps UI for enhanced user interface components. It integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools including Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Clarity, Facebook Pixel, and Adform tracking, indicating a sophisticated digital marketing infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA labels. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts to improve user experience. The use of structured data (JSON-LD) enhances SEO and social media integration. Technical risks are minimal but could be reduced by tightening security headers and ensuring all third-party scripts are up to date.
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.
