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. 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
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. 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

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

Nissan operates as a major player in the global automotive industry, with a diversified portfolio including electric vehicles, motorsports, and corporate governance transparency. The newsroom supports Nissan's business model by disseminating timely information to stakeholders, enhancing brand visibility and investor confidence. The presence of multiple regional subdomains and language options indicates a global market reach. The integration of marketing and analytics tools suggests a data-driven approach to audience engagement. Partnerships and related domains such as the official Nissan global site and recruitment portal reinforce the ecosystem. The business model is focused on innovation, sustainability, and customer engagement through transparent communication.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with mandatory HTTPS, use of security best practices in form handling, and deployment of a consent management platform for privacy compliance. No critical security headers were explicitly detected in the HTML, suggesting room for improvement in HTTP header configuration. The absence of exposed credentials or vulnerable libraries in the visible content is positive. However, no explicit incident response or security policy information is provided, which could be enhanced to improve transparency and readiness. Overall, the site is secure for public-facing content but could benefit from additional security header implementations and published security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against clickjacking and MIME sniffing.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and user trust.
  3. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate risks from external libraries.
  4. Ensure all external links use rel='noopener noreferrer' and open in new tabs to prevent security risks.
  5. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies to reflect evolving regulations and best practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack including Bootstrap 5 for responsive design, jQuery for DOM manipulation, and Ionicons and Font Awesome for iconography. It uses AWS Cloudfront CDN for fast content delivery and integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics, Hotjar, and Facebook Pixel for user behavior tracking. The CMS appears to be Wieck, a specialized platform for media/newsroom management. Performance is optimized with asynchronous script loading and CDN usage. Accessibility and SEO are well addressed with proper meta tags, structured data (JSON-LD), and mobile optimization. Technical risks are minimal, but continuous monitoring of third-party scripts is advised to avoid supply chain vulnerabilities.
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.
