75/100

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

Loxam is a leading equipment rental company specializing in construction, infrastructure, and industrial tools and machinery. The company operates extensively in the Netherlands with nearly 50 branches and offers a broad range of rental equipment including aerial work platforms, excavators, generators, and safety equipment. Their business model focuses on rental services complemented by value-added services such as training, safety programs, and loyalty memberships. The website reflects a strong market position with consistent branding and comprehensive service offerings. Technically, the website is built on a modern e-commerce platform (SAP Hybris Commerce) with responsive design and integration of advanced search capabilities via Algolia. The site uses modern web technologies and is optimized for mobile devices, though accessibility features are basic. Performance is moderate with good SEO and structured data implementation. From a security perspective, the site employs HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, and includes CSRF tokens in forms, indicating a reasonable security posture. However, explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure information are absent. Certifications such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, and Ecovadis ratings enhance trust. No critical vulnerabilities or blocking mechanisms were detected. Overall, Loxam's website demonstrates a professional, secure, and privacy-compliant digital presence suitable for its business scale and sector. Strategic improvements in security transparency and accessibility could further strengthen its posture.

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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  2. 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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

Loxam holds a strong market position as a leader in equipment rental within the Netherlands and broader European markets. Their competitive advantage lies in a wide equipment portfolio, extensive branch network, and value-added services like Loxam Call and Minilease. The business targets professional construction and industrial clients, emphasizing safety and environmental responsibility (e.g., LoxGreen initiative). The company benefits from certifications and a robust digital presence, including multilingual support and integration with partner sites such as Bauhaus. Growth indicators include continuous fleet renewal and digital service enhancements. The partnership ecosystem includes subsidiaries across Europe and collaborations with retail partners.

Security posture

The website maintains a good security baseline with HTTPS enforcement, CSRF protection on forms, and cookie consent compliance. Certifications related to quality and environmental management (ISO standards) indirectly support security culture. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents a compliance gap. No security headers were detected in the provided data, which could be improved. The use of third-party scripts like Microsoft Clarity and ElfSight widgets introduces moderate tracking but appears managed with consent. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could benefit from enhanced transparency and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan on the website.
  2. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  4. Improve accessibility features to meet WCAG standards for broader compliance.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure privacy compliance and minimize risk.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on SAP Hybris Commerce platform, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries and services such as Algolia for search and Microsoft Clarity for analytics. It uses Google Fonts and lazy loading for performance optimization. The site is responsive and mobile-friendly with structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in loading speed and accessibility. The technical stack is mature and suitable for enterprise-level e-commerce but could benefit from enhanced security headers and accessibility compliance. No hosting provider details were identified from the data.
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.
