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"

  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: Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube

      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

Inter Cars operates a B2B and B2C business model focused on automotive parts distribution and workshop support services. Its competitive advantage lies in its extensive product range, express delivery logistics, and digital tools tailored for workshops. The company leverages a broad partnership ecosystem with subsidiaries across Europe and strategic partners like Motointegrator for garage appointment bookings. Investor relations content and sustainability initiatives indicate a transparent and growth-oriented corporate strategy. The company targets independent garages and drivers, emphasizing long-term relationships and customer-centric solutions. The website content and structure support these business goals effectively.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers in place, including HSTS and CSP. Consent management is handled by Osano CMP, restricting ad and analytics storage by default, which aligns with privacy best practices. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analysis. However, the absence of a public security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency in security governance. No direct security contact emails were found, which could hinder incident reporting. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by publishing explicit security documentation and providing clear incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and trust.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Provide direct security contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Enhance accessibility features with additional ARIA landmarks and keyboard navigation improvements.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React and Next.js framework, leveraging server-side rendering and optimized asset loading for performance. The use of Osano CMP for consent management and Google Tag Manager for analytics indicates a mature approach to privacy and data collection. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. No major technical debt or outdated technologies were detected. Hosting details are not explicit but the site uses CDN resources for media and scripts, contributing to fast load times. Opportunities exist to improve technical SEO further and enhance accessibility compliance.
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.
