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

6 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, YouTube

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

  3. 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.

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

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

    • High

      No DMARC record found

      DMARC provides email authentication and reporting

      What to do: Add DMARC record: "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@yourdomain.com"

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

Honda's Norwegian website reflects a large enterprise with a strong foothold in the transportation sector, offering a diversified product portfolio including cars, motorcycles, marine engines, and power equipment. The business model focuses on direct consumer engagement and brand reinforcement through digital channels. The presence of partner domains for motorcycles, marine, and power equipment indicates a collaborative ecosystem supporting localized sales and services. The website's content and structure suggest a focus on brand consistency and customer information rather than direct e-commerce. The absence of direct contact details on the homepage may indicate reliance on partner sites or offline channels for customer support. The company benefits from Honda's global brand recognition and leverages digital marketing tools for targeted advertising and analytics. Growth indicators include multimedia content and localized language support, positioning Honda well within the Norwegian market.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security posture with mandatory HTTPS usage and a robust cookie consent framework compliant with GDPR. The integration of OneTrust for cookie management and Google Tag Manager for analytics reflects adherence to privacy standards. However, the absence of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), X-Frame-Options, and HSTS in the HTML content suggests room for improvement in defense-in-depth strategies. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure pages were found, which could limit transparency and incident response readiness. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by publishing explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and implementing additional HTTP security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide clear incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance accessibility features and SEO optimization to improve user experience and search engine visibility.
  5. Consider adding clear company contact information including emails and phone numbers to improve customer support accessibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager (AEM), a robust enterprise CMS platform, utilizing modern JavaScript ES6 modules for modular and maintainable code. Google Tag Manager and OneTrust scripts are integrated for analytics and privacy compliance, respectively. The site includes embedded YouTube videos for rich media content. Performance is moderate, with some optimization potential in loading times and resource management. Mobile responsiveness is good, ensuring usability across devices. Accessibility is basic, with scope for enhancement to meet higher standards. SEO practices are present but could be improved with more comprehensive meta tags and structured data. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected, indicating a well-maintained technical infrastructure.
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.
