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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

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

Mercedes-Benz Austria maintains a strong foothold in the premium automotive sector, targeting general consumers interested in luxury and electric vehicles. The business model integrates direct vehicle sales, certified used cars, and financial services, supported by a digital ecosystem for connectivity and customer service. Partnerships with global Mercedes-Benz entities and subsidiaries like Mercedes-Benz Financial Services Austria GmbH enhance service offerings. The company demonstrates strategic digital maturity with advanced analytics and marketing tools, positioning itself competitively in the Austrian and European markets. Growth is supported by a diversified product range and strong brand equity.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS encryption, active monitoring via Datadog RUM, and a consent-based cookie management system. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, explicit presence of some security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options was not confirmed and should be audited. The privacy policy and data protection officer information indicate compliance with GDPR and related regulations. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies were not explicitly found, suggesting areas for improvement in transparency and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Conduct a security header audit to ensure all recommended headers (X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, CSP) are implemented.
  2. Publish a clear vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to enhance transparency and community trust.
  3. Enhance accessibility compliance to fully meet WCAG 2.1 standards, addressing identified minor issues.
  4. Expand incident response information and provide dedicated security contact channels for reporting.
  5. Maintain regular third-party script reviews to mitigate supply chain risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack featuring Vue.js 3 and Adobe Experience Manager CMS, delivering a fast and responsive user experience optimized for mobile devices. The use of ES module shims and web components indicates a forward-looking approach to web development. Performance is enhanced by preconnect and DNS-prefetch directives for critical asset domains. SEO is supported by comprehensive meta tags, Open Graph data, and structured JSON-LD schema. Accessibility is addressed but with room for improvement. The integration of advanced analytics and marketing tools demonstrates a high level of digital maturity, although continuous monitoring of third-party dependencies is advised to reduce technical risks.
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.
