65/100

0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

Mercedes-Benz Sweden operates a comprehensive and professionally designed website targeting Swedish consumers interested in luxury and performance vehicles. The site offers detailed information on vehicle models, leasing options, and test drive bookings, supported by a modern technical infrastructure including Vue.js and Adobe Experience Manager. The security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and modern security practices, though explicit security headers could be more visible. Privacy compliance is robust with detailed GDPR-aligned policies and cookie consent mechanisms. The WHOIS data for the queried subdomain is missing, likely due to querying a subdomain rather than the registered domain, but the site’s legitimacy is supported by consistent branding and official contact information. Overall, the website demonstrates a mature digital presence suitable for a global automotive brand.

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

2 findings 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

  2. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Unregistered MX Record

      MX record points to unregistered domain: mailse.mercedes-benz.se

      What to do: Remove or fix MX record pointing to unregistered domain

      • RFC 5321 §5.1
      • NIS2 21(2)(i)
      • IR 2024/2690 12.4: Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 12.4: Asset inventory
      • NIST CM-8: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-8: System Component Inventory

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 Sweden holds a strong market position as a leading luxury automotive brand, offering a broad range of electric, hybrid, and traditional vehicles. The business model focuses on direct consumer engagement through digital channels, including online service bookings and leasing information. The company leverages a global parent company infrastructure and maintains compliance with European data protection laws. The website’s extensive legal and privacy documentation, along with social media integration, supports a transparent and trustworthy customer relationship. Growth indicators include the promotion of new electric models and digital services, positioning Mercedes-Benz as a forward-looking player in the automotive sector.

Security posture

The website exhibits a high level of security maturity with enforced HTTPS, use of modern JavaScript frameworks, and integration of Datadog RUM for monitoring. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms align with GDPR requirements, indicating strong data protection practices. However, explicit security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options were not explicitly found in the provided data and should be verified. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure information are not publicly available, suggesting an area for improvement in transparency. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from enhanced header visibility and published incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Publish explicit security headers like X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen browser security.
  2. Provide publicly accessible incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Enhance accessibility compliance to fully meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards, addressing identified deficiencies.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to mitigate potential security risks.
  5. Maintain and update WHOIS records for the main domain to ensure registration transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack featuring Vue.js 3, ES module shims, and Adobe Experience Manager as the CMS platform. It employs advanced client-side scripting with modular JavaScript and integrates Datadog RUM and Google Tag Manager for performance monitoring and analytics. The site is optimized for mobile devices and demonstrates fast loading times. SEO is supported by comprehensive meta tags and structured data in JSON-LD format. Accessibility is partially implemented but requires improvements to meet European standards fully. The technical infrastructure reflects a mature and scalable digital platform suitable for a global automotive brand.
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.
