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 holds a strong market position as a premium automotive brand with diversified revenue streams including vehicle sales, leasing, and financial services. The company targets affluent consumers and business clients, emphasizing luxury, innovation, and sustainability through electric vehicle offerings. The digital ecosystem integrates multiple subsidiaries and partners, ensuring comprehensive service delivery. The presence of detailed legal disclosures and compliance statements indicates a mature governance framework. Growth indicators include expansion of electric vehicle models and digital sales channels. The partnership ecosystem includes regulatory bodies and financial institutions, supporting operational and compliance needs.

Security posture

The website exhibits a high security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, use of modern web technologies, and integration of consent management for privacy compliance. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. However, the absence of a publicly available security policy or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency. Incident response contact information is not explicitly provided, which could hinder timely reporting and remediation of security incidents. Accessibility compliance is basic with some known issues, suggesting room for improvement in inclusive design. Overall, the security posture is strong but could benefit from enhanced transparency and formalized disclosure mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Provide explicit incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Improve website accessibility to meet higher standards and reduce barriers for users with disabilities.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack featuring Vue.js 3, ES modules, and Adobe Experience Manager CMS, ensuring modularity and scalability. Performance optimizations include preconnect and DNS-prefetch for critical assets, asynchronous script loading, and use of CDN-hosted resources. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features, though some accessibility issues remain. SEO is supported by comprehensive meta tags, Open Graph data, and structured JSON-LD markup. The technical infrastructure reflects a well-maintained enterprise-grade platform with integration of analytics and monitoring tools like Google Tag Manager and Datadog RUM. Opportunities exist to enhance security header implementation and formalize security documentation.
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.
