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

2 findings 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

  2. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Unregistered MX Record

      MX record points to unregistered domain: maildk.mercedes-benz.dk

      What to do: Remove or fix MX record pointing to unregistered domain

      • RFC 5321 §5.1
      • NIS2 21(2)(i)
      • IR 2024/2690 12.4: Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 12.4: Asset inventory

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

The website serves as a direct channel for Mercedes-Benz Denmark to engage with consumers, supporting sales, marketing, and after-sales services. The brand's market position as a premium automotive manufacturer is reinforced through extensive product offerings and digital tools. The business model focuses on direct consumer engagement, lead generation, and service facilitation. The presence of multiple social media integrations and comprehensive legal disclosures indicates a well-established partnership ecosystem and adherence to regulatory requirements. Growth indicators include digital transformation efforts and extensive use of analytics and marketing tools. The site supports a large enterprise operation with a global parent company, Mercedes-Benz AG.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a high level of security maturity with enforced HTTPS, use of modern JavaScript frameworks, and integration of security-conscious third-party services like Datadog RUM and Google Tag Manager. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Cookie consent and privacy policies align with GDPR requirements. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options were not visible in the provided data and should be verified. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure information are not publicly available, representing an area for improvement. Overall, the security posture is strong but could benefit from enhanced transparency and documented policies.

Recommendations

  1. Publish and verify comprehensive security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy.
  2. Improve accessibility compliance to meet WCAG standards fully, addressing identified ARIA and contrast issues.
  3. Establish and publicize a formal vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for security vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency around data retention and user privacy controls beyond cookie consent.

The website is built on a modern technology stack featuring Vue.js 3, ES module shims, and Adobe Experience Manager as the CMS. Assets are served via a dedicated Mercedes-Benz CDN, ensuring fast load times and global availability. The site employs advanced client-side scripting for dynamic content and user interaction, including session replay and real user monitoring via Datadog. SEO and metadata are well implemented with Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Mobile optimization is excellent, and the site is responsive. Some accessibility issues were noted, suggesting room for improvement in inclusive design. Overall, the technical infrastructure is robust, scalable, and aligned with enterprise-grade digital standards.
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.
