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 România holds a significant position as the official distributor and service provider for Mercedes-Benz passenger vehicles in Romania. The business model encompasses direct vehicle sales, financial services including leasing and insurance, and after-sales support. The company benefits from the global brand strength of Mercedes-Benz AG and operates multiple subsidiaries to cover financial and insurance services. The target market includes individual consumers and fleet clients seeking premium automotive products. The website's multilingual and multi-regional links indicate a well-integrated global digital presence. Partnerships with Deloitte and Qualtrics for customer satisfaction surveys reflect a commitment to quality and customer experience. The company is large-sized with a well-established legal and operational framework, supporting sustained growth and market penetration.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of modern frameworks, and integration of cookie consent and privacy management tools. The absence of exposed sensitive data and the use of reputable analytics and monitoring services indicate good operational security. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options were not clearly identified in the HTML, suggesting an area for improvement. The privacy policy and data protection officer details demonstrate compliance with GDPR, enhancing trust. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure pages were found, which could be considered for future transparency. Overall, the site is secure but would benefit from explicit security header implementation and documented incident response procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and explicitly verify security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Improve accessibility compliance to fully meet WCAG 2.1 standards, addressing identified issues like ARIA attributes and contrast ratios.
  3. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Maintain regular security audits and third-party script reviews to mitigate risks from external dependencies.
  5. Enhance user privacy controls and provide clearer options for cookie management to strengthen GDPR compliance and user trust.

Notes

It integrates advanced monitoring and analytics tools such as Datadog RUM and Google Tag Manager, supporting performance tracking and user behavior analysis. The site uses multiple proprietary Mercedes-Benz plugins and components, indicating a customized and scalable infrastructure. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization, though accessibility features are basic and could be improved.

Overall, the technical infrastructure is robust and supports a high-quality user experience with opportunities for security and accessibility enhancements.
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.
