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

4 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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

  3. 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Mercedes-Benz USA's website reflects a mature enterprise with a clear focus on premium automotive sales and customer experience. The business model centers on direct vehicle sales, certified pre-owned programs, and brand engagement. The presence of multiple sub-brands and a detailed vehicle catalog indicates a broad product portfolio. The company benefits from strong brand recognition and a well-established dealer network. Marketing and analytics integrations suggest active customer data collection for targeted advertising and performance optimization. The website's linkage to subsidiary domains like Mercedes-Benz Vans indicates a structured corporate ecosystem. The absence of explicit contact emails or phone numbers in the main HTML suggests a preference for controlled contact channels, likely via forms or dealer locators.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a strong security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers including Content Security Policy, and integration of consent management for cookies. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. However, the lack of publicly available security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates room for improvement in transparency and readiness communication. The use of third-party scripts and trackers is balanced with privacy compliance tools, reflecting a moderate to extensive user tracking level but with user consent. Overall, the site is secure for users but could enhance trust by publishing detailed security and incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page detailing security practices and compliance frameworks.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Enhance transparency on data retention policies and user privacy rights beyond cookie consent.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts to minimize privacy risks and improve site performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager, a robust enterprise CMS, and uses modern JavaScript and CSS frameworks. It employs webpack for script bundling and loads fonts and assets efficiently with preload and preconnect hints. The site integrates multiple third-party services including Google Analytics, Google Ads, Usercentrics CMP, and UserWay accessibility widget, indicating a mature digital marketing and compliance infrastructure. Performance is moderate with deferred script loading and responsive design for mobile optimization. Accessibility features are implemented, and SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured data. Hosting details are not explicit but usage of AWS services for payment estimation is noted. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a high-quality user experience with opportunities for further optimization.
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.
