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. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  2. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

  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 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

  • 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

McRent holds a leading market position in the European camper rental sector, leveraging a large station network and partnerships with vehicle manufacturers. Their business model focuses on vehicle rentals supplemented by insurance and customer support services. The company targets families and individuals interested in leisure travel, offering tailored vehicle categories and travel tips. Their digital presence includes a comprehensive blog and social media engagement, enhancing customer reach and brand loyalty. Payment processing and booking are supported by partner platforms, indicating a mature operational ecosystem.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, privacy and cookie policies, and use of a consent management platform. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not evident and should be implemented to enhance protection against common web attacks. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies are not publicly available, representing an area for improvement. Overall, the security measures are adequate for the business type but could be strengthened.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate risks from external dependencies.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Maintain and communicate data retention policies and privacy practices clearly to users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including React, Mapbox GL JS for mapping, and Lottie for animations, indicating a contemporary and interactive user interface. The presence of structured data (JSON-LD) improves SEO and content discoverability. Hosting is managed via EuroDNS nameservers, typical for European businesses. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, especially in loading times and accessibility compliance. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and canonical links. Integration with third-party services for consent management and analytics is well implemented, supporting privacy compliance and marketing efforts.
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.
