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 Belgium Luxembourg NV holds a strong market position as a premium automotive brand in Belgium, supported by its parent company Mercedes-Benz Group AG. The business model focuses on vehicle sales, leasing, financing, after-sales services, and digital connectivity solutions. The company targets both individual consumers and corporate fleets, offering a broad portfolio including electric and hybrid vehicles. The website reflects a strategic emphasis on digital engagement, customer service, and compliance with European data protection laws. Partnerships with marketing and analytics providers like Salesforce and Adobe indicate a sophisticated marketing ecosystem. The presence of detailed legal and privacy information enhances corporate transparency and customer trust.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS encryption and use of modern security practices such as cookie consent management and data masking in analytics. No critical security issues or vulnerabilities were identified in the publicly accessible content. However, explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options were not clearly detected and should be verified. The absence of a public security policy or incident response contact is a minor gap. The WHOIS data is privacy-protected as per .be domain norms, which is justified for a corporate entity. Overall, the site aligns well with GDPR and industry best practices but could improve transparency on security policies and vulnerability disclosure.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify 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 on the website.
  3. Consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities and update them promptly.
  5. Enhance user awareness of data protection practices through visible privacy and cookie notices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack featuring Vue.js 3 and Adobe Experience Manager CMS, indicating a robust and scalable infrastructure. It uses advanced client-side scripting with ES modules and import maps, and integrates real user monitoring via Datadog RUM. The site is optimized for multiple device sizes with responsive design and preloading of images. SEO and accessibility best practices are observed through meta tags, structured data (JSON-LD), and ARIA attributes. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by the complexity and richness of content. The technical implementation supports a high-quality user experience but requires ongoing maintenance to ensure security and performance remain optimal.
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.
