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

Motocom Limited is a well-established communications agency specializing in automotive, motorcycle, motorsport, and powersports sectors. Founded in 2000, the company offers a broad range of services including public relations, digital marketing, event management, social media, photography, videography, design, branding, and influencer marketing. The website positions Motocom as a benchmark agency with over 20 years of industry experience, targeting automotive and powersports businesses seeking comprehensive communications solutions. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies such as Vue.js, JavaScript ES modules, Google Tag Manager, and Vimeo's player API. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices and a cookie consent mechanism that aligns with GDPR requirements. Hosting and domain registration are stable and consistent with the company's history, with SSL properly configured ensuring secure connections. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates good practices including HTTPS enforcement, use of CSRF protection cookies, and a clear cookie consent banner. However, it lacks publicly available security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, which are recommended for enhanced transparency and trust. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious content were detected. Overall, Motocom's website reflects a professional, trustworthy, and compliant digital presence suitable for its business sector. Strategic improvements in security transparency and accessibility could further strengthen its posture and user trust.

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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  4. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1

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

  • 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

Motocom operates as a niche communications agency focused on the automotive and powersports industries, leveraging over two decades of experience to maintain a leading market position. Its business model centers on providing integrated communications services, combining PR, digital marketing, event management, and creative content production. The company targets industry clients requiring specialized marketing and communications expertise. The website's clear service segmentation and professional presentation suggest a client-focused approach with potential for growth through digital channels. The absence of parent or subsidiary companies indicates an independent operation. The use of Google Ads and Analytics reflects active marketing efforts and data-driven decision-making.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and essential security cookies implemented to prevent CSRF attacks. The cookie consent mechanism is comprehensive, categorizing cookies by functionality, security, analytics, and advertising, demonstrating GDPR awareness. However, the lack of a published security policy, incident response information, and vulnerability disclosure reduces transparency and may impact user trust. No security headers were detected in the provided data, suggesting room for improvement in HTTP header security. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by publishing security documentation and implementing additional HTTP security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Implement and expose a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Add incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Enhance HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  5. Improve accessibility features to meet recognized standards and enhance user experience for all users.

The site is mobile-optimized and employs responsive design principles. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed through optimization of assets and caching.

Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs effectively with opportunities for further optimization and security hardening.
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.
