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 Portugal is positioned as a premium automotive brand subsidiary under Mercedes-Benz AG, serving the Portuguese market with a full suite of automotive sales and digital services. The business model integrates direct vehicle sales, financial services, and digital connectivity solutions (Mercedes me). Revenue streams likely include vehicle sales, leasing, financing, and mobility services. The target customer segments are luxury vehicle buyers and users seeking premium automotive experiences. The company maintains a strong partnership ecosystem with global Mercedes-Benz entities and local subsidiaries. Growth indicators include comprehensive digital presence, multi-language support, and integration of advanced analytics and marketing tools. Strategic observations highlight a focus on compliance, customer data protection, and anti-corruption measures, reinforcing corporate governance and brand reputation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented, including CSP and HSTS. The presence of a cookie consent mechanism and detailed privacy policies indicates compliance with GDPR. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analysis. The site uses reputable third-party services for analytics and monitoring, such as Datadog RUM and Google Analytics 360, with appropriate privacy controls. However, the absence of a publicly visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure policy is a gap. The anti-corruption compliance program and data protection officer contact details reflect a strong security culture. Overall, the site is secure, but could benefit from enhanced transparency on incident handling and vulnerability reporting.

Recommendations

  1. Enhance website accessibility to fully comply with WCAG 2.2 and EN 301 549 standards to improve inclusivity.
  2. Publish a clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy, including a security.txt file, to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential security risks.
  4. Expand privacy policy details to include explicit data retention periods and third-party data sharing specifics.
  5. Continue to promote and communicate the anti-corruption compliance program to reinforce corporate governance.

No significant technical debt or outdated technologies were detected, indicating a well-maintained platform.
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.
