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

3 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.

    • 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

      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

  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

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

PACCAR holds a strong market position in the transportation manufacturing sector with a diversified portfolio of subsidiaries and services including truck manufacturing, financial services, parts distribution, and leasing. The company targets commercial transportation businesses and investors, leveraging a global brand presence. Their business model integrates manufacturing with financial and leasing services, supporting a comprehensive ecosystem. The website's investor relations and ESG sections indicate transparency and commitment to governance. Partnerships and subsidiaries are clearly linked, reinforcing corporate structure and market reach.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and employs cookie consent banners indicating GDPR awareness. However, it lacks visible security headers such as Content Security Policy or HSTS, and does not publish an incident response or vulnerability disclosure policy. No security.txt file or dedicated security contact was found. The use of third-party scripts like Google Analytics and Tag Manager is controlled but should be regularly audited. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved by adopting additional best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a formal security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  2. Add security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate risks from vulnerable libraries.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a solid technical foundation using Umbraco CMS and Foundation CSS framework, with jQuery and Modernizr for compatibility and interactivity. Google Tag Manager and Analytics are integrated for marketing and data collection. The site is mobile responsive and accessible at a basic level, with good SEO practices including meta tags and structured navigation. Performance is moderate, suggesting opportunities for optimization. Hosting and domain registration are consistent with enterprise standards. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports business goals effectively but could benefit from performance tuning and enhanced accessibility.
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.
