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

3 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

  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

Hertz maintains a robust market position in the transportation sector, leveraging a broad geographic footprint and diverse vehicle offerings. The business model includes direct rentals, leasing options, and value-added services such as electric vehicle rentals and business rentals. The company benefits from strategic partnerships and a loyalty program that drives repeat business. The website's multilingual support and localized content indicate a focus on international markets and customer convenience.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforcement, integration of Google reCAPTCHA Enterprise to mitigate bot activity, and active error monitoring via dataLayer events. Cookie consent mechanisms are implemented, reflecting privacy compliance efforts. However, explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure information are not present, representing areas for improvement. The absence of WHOIS data is noted but does not detract significantly from the overall security trust given the brand's stature.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear and accessible privacy policy URL on all pages to improve privacy compliance and user trust.
  2. Provide explicit contact information including emails and phone numbers for customer support and security incident reporting.
  3. Implement and publicize a security policy and incident response plan to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  4. Add a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure program to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

  7. No visible security.txt or vulnerability disclosure information

Technical notes

Notes

The website employs a modern technology stack including RequireJS for modular JavaScript loading, Google Tag Manager and Analytics for tracking, Stripe.js for payment processing, and MapQuest SDK for location services. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and uses Google Fonts for typography. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and deferred CSS loading. The technical implementation is solid but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and explicit security headers.
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.
