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 Italia benefits from its affiliation with the global Mercedes-Benz AG, leveraging brand recognition and extensive automotive expertise. The business model integrates vehicle sales, financial services, and after-sales support, targeting affluent consumers seeking luxury and performance vehicles. The company maintains subsidiaries focused on financial and leasing services, enhancing customer lifecycle engagement. The website's detailed legal disclosures, privacy policies, and cookie consent mechanisms indicate a strong compliance culture. Marketing efforts utilize advanced tools like Salesforce and Adobe Target, enabling personalized customer experiences. The presence of multiple social media channels and comprehensive contact information supports a broad engagement strategy. Growth indicators include the promotion of electric and hybrid vehicles, aligning with industry trends. Partnerships with authorized dealers and service centers are integral to operations. The company’s digital ecosystem is well-integrated, supporting both brand consistency and operational efficiency.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS usage and implementation of privacy and consent management frameworks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. The use of CIAM for authentication and session management enhances security. However, the absence of a publicly visible dedicated security policy or incident response contact page limits transparency in security governance. The site employs reputable analytics and monitoring services such as Datadog RUM, which supports proactive performance and security monitoring. Security headers are implied but not explicitly visible in the provided content, suggesting a potential area for enhancement. Overall, the site aligns well with GDPR requirements and best practices for data protection, but could improve by publishing explicit security policies and incident response procedures to strengthen user trust and regulatory compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and user guidance.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information, including security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance visible HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options.
  5. Maintain and communicate transparent data retention and privacy practices to users.

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.
