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

5 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  2. 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 Denmark targets consumers seeking premium vehicles, including electric and hybrid options, positioning itself as a leader in the Danish automotive sector. The business model focuses on direct sales through authorized dealers supported by digital tools. The company benefits from strong brand recognition and a global parent company, Mercedes-Benz AG. The website supports lead generation, customer engagement, and after-sales services, indicating a mature digital ecosystem. Partnerships with social media platforms and analytics providers enhance marketing and customer insights. The absence of WHOIS data is typical for large brands using privacy protection. The company maintains compliance with EU regulations, reinforcing its credibility and operational transparency.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of secure cookies, and integration of privacy and consent frameworks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options were not clearly visible in the provided data and should be verified. The site lacks a publicly disclosed incident response or vulnerability disclosure policy, which could enhance trust and preparedness. Overall, the security measures align with industry best practices for corporate websites, minimizing risk exposure.

Recommendations

  1. Publish and verify comprehensive security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy.
  2. Establish and publicize a formal vulnerability disclosure and incident response policy.
  3. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for security vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility compliance to address minor issues noted in the accessibility statement.
  5. Maintain transparency on data retention and processing practices to reinforce GDPR compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack featuring Vue.js 3, web components, and Adobe Experience Manager CMS. It employs advanced client-side scripting with ES modules and integrates Datadog RUM for real user monitoring and Google Tag Manager for analytics. The site is optimized for mobile devices and demonstrates fast performance. Accessibility is addressed but with some minor gaps. The technical implementation supports a scalable and maintainable platform suitable for a global automotive brand. Opportunities exist to improve explicit security header deployment and accessibility compliance for enhanced robustness.
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.
