Technically, the website leverages modern frameworks such as Vue.js 3 and is built on Adobe Experience Manager, ensuring a performant, mobile-optimized, and accessible user experience.

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

7 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

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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 Italia is positioned as a leading premium automotive brand in Italy, backed by the global Mercedes-Benz AG. The business model combines vehicle manufacturing and sales with financial services, targeting general consumers interested in luxury and performance vehicles. The company benefits from a strong brand reputation, extensive subsidiary network, and a comprehensive digital ecosystem. Growth indicators include advanced online services such as vehicle configurators and appointment booking. Partnerships with certified email providers and use of global marketing tools like Salesforce and Adobe Target enhance customer engagement and operational efficiency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a high level of security maturity with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and GDPR-compliant data protection policies. Use of modern monitoring tools like Datadog RUM indicates proactive performance and security oversight. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified. The absence of a published security.txt or explicit incident response contact is a minor gap. Overall, the security culture appears robust, with clear privacy officer contacts and detailed legal disclosures supporting compliance and trust.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve transparency.
  2. Add explicit incident response contact information on the website for security issues.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance Content Security Policy (CSP) rules to further reduce risk of script injection.
  5. Maintain and communicate clear data retention and deletion policies to users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack featuring Vue.js 3 and Adobe Experience Manager CMS, ensuring modularity and scalability. Performance optimizations include asynchronous script loading and preconnect hints. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features such as skip links. SEO is supported by comprehensive meta tags, Open Graph data, and structured JSON-LD for organization and website schema. Hosting appears to be managed internally or via trusted cloud providers, with no signs of performance bottlenecks or technical debt. Opportunities exist to further modernize by adopting newer JavaScript module standards and enhancing security headers.
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.
