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

5 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  2. 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 Sweden is positioned as a leading premium automotive brand with a focus on passenger cars and electric vehicles. The business model includes direct sales, leasing, and digital customer engagement. The website integrates extensive legal and privacy documentation, reflecting compliance and transparency. The presence of multiple localized domains and social media channels indicates a broad partnership and marketing ecosystem. The company benefits from the backing of Mercedes-Benz AG, a global automotive leader, enhancing credibility and market reach. The digital platform supports customer acquisition and retention through rich content and interactive features.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and a cookie consent mechanism. Data collection practices are transparent with detailed privacy policies and GDPR compliance. However, the absence of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in security governance. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The use of third-party analytics and tracking is balanced with privacy considerations. Recommendations include enhancing accessibility compliance and publishing explicit security and vulnerability disclosure policies to further strengthen trust.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance website accessibility to fully comply with WCAG 2.1 AA standards, addressing identified deficiencies.
  4. Regularly review and update privacy and cookie policies to maintain compliance with evolving regulations.
  5. Maintain continuous monitoring of third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack featuring Vue.js 3 and Adobe Experience Manager CMS, supported by custom Mercedes-Benz plugins. Performance is optimized with asynchronous script loading and CDN-hosted assets. SEO is well addressed through meta tags, Open Graph, and structured data (JSON-LD). Accessibility is partially implemented with known issues related to ARIA attributes and contrast. The site is mobile-optimized and responsive. The technical infrastructure supports a scalable and maintainable platform suitable for a global automotive brand's digital presence.
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.
