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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, 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

Hyre targets urban consumers and businesses seeking flexible, app-based car rental solutions. Their competitive advantage lies in seamless mobile unlocking, integrated billing for tolls and parking, and corporate mobility plans that simplify fleet management. The company has expanded to major Norwegian cities and airports, with partner sites in Sweden and Denmark, indicating regional growth ambitions. Revenue streams include pay-per-use rentals, monthly subscription passes, and corporate contracts. The presence of detailed case studies and testimonials suggests a focus on customer satisfaction and operational transparency. Partnerships with payment providers and parking services enhance the user experience and operational efficiency.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses secure payment libraries, indicating a baseline of security best practices. Cookie consent mechanisms and privacy policies demonstrate GDPR compliance. However, the absence of published security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure programs suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. Security headers are likely present but not explicitly confirmed. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from enhanced communication of security governance and incident handling.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and user trust.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program, including a security.txt file, to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Verify and explicitly configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Enhance data protection officer contact information availability to comply fully with GDPR transparency requirements.
  5. Continue monitoring and updating third-party libraries and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React-based framework (Next.js) with Mantine UI components, ensuring responsive and accessible design. Integration with Google Maps API and Stripe.js indicates robust third-party service usage for location and payment functionalities. The site shows good SEO practices with comprehensive meta tags and structured data in JSON-LD format. Performance appears optimized with asynchronous script loading and preloading of critical assets. The CMS backend appears to be a headless or custom solution, providing flexibility in content management. Opportunities exist to enhance hosting transparency and further optimize accessibility features.
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.
