Risk levelLow

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

American Honda Motor Co., Inc. is a leading enterprise in the transportation sector, specializing in manufacturing and retailing automobiles, motorcycles, power equipment, and related services. The company operates multiple subsidiaries and brands including Honda Autos, Acura, Powersports, and HondaJet, positioning itself as a major player in the US market with a strong global parent company, Honda Motor Company. The website reflects a high level of professionalism, excellent content quality, and consistent branding aimed at consumers interested in mobility and automotive products. Technically, the website employs a modern tech stack including Bootstrap, jQuery, Slick Carousel, Swiper, and Adobe DTM for tag management, hosted on Akamai CDN. The site is optimized for mobile and SEO, with fast performance and good accessibility. However, some technical improvements are needed such as enabling modern TLS protocols and implementing DNSSEC. From a security perspective, the site uses a valid SSL certificate and implements several security headers including Content Security Policy and X-Frame-Options. Despite this, the lack of TLS 1.2+ support and absence of a public security policy or incident response contact reduces the overall security posture. Privacy and cookie policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, with consent mechanisms in place. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professionally managed but would benefit from enhanced security configurations and transparency around incident response and vulnerability disclosures.

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

American Honda Motor Co., Inc. holds a strong market position as a major manufacturer and retailer in the transportation industry, with a diversified portfolio spanning automobiles, motorcycles, power equipment, and aviation. Its competitive advantage lies in brand recognition, extensive product offerings, and a global parent company. The business model focuses on direct sales, financial services, and aftermarket parts and accessories. Target customers include individual consumers, enthusiasts, and commercial users. Growth indicators include active marketing campaigns, new product launches, and strong digital presence. The company maintains a broad partnership ecosystem with multiple dedicated domains for its brands and services, reflecting a well-structured operational model.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate with foundational best practices implemented such as HTTPS, CSP, and security headers. The absence of modern TLS protocols and DNSSEC indicates areas for improvement. No explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies were found, which could impact the company's ability to manage security incidents effectively. Data protection practices appear aligned with GDPR through comprehensive privacy notices and cookie consent mechanisms. The security culture is implied to be professional but could be enhanced by publishing more explicit security policies and contact channels.

Recommendations

  1. Enable TLS 1.2 or higher protocols to ensure secure encrypted communications.
  2. Implement DNSSEC to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Add a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure program to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Enhance HSTS header to include subdomains and preload to strengthen HTTPS enforcement.
Technical notes

Notes

The website infrastructure is robust, leveraging Akamai CDN for global content delivery and performance optimization. The technology stack includes widely adopted libraries and frameworks such as Bootstrap and jQuery, ensuring compatibility and responsiveness. The site uses Adobe DTM for tag management and integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools. Performance is fast with good mobile optimization. However, the lack of modern TLS support and DNSSEC indicates technical debt in security infrastructure. There is no detected CMS, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Opportunities exist to modernize security protocols and improve accessibility standards.
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.
