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

Penske Corporation is a large, closely-held diversified transportation services company operating globally with subsidiaries in retail automotive, truck leasing, transportation logistics, and professional motorsports. The company manages consolidated revenues exceeding $43 billion and operates over 3,300 locations with more than 73,000 employees worldwide. The website reflects a mature digital presence built on WordPress with modern plugins and analytics integrations, providing a professional and accessible user experience. Security posture is strong with HTTPS and no visible vulnerabilities, though some security headers and explicit incident response information are absent. Privacy compliance is indicated by the presence of a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of use, but a cookie consent mechanism is missing. Overall, the site is trustworthy and well-branded, though the lack of WHOIS data limits domain registration trust analysis.

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

6 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 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 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

  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

The company holds a strong market position in the transportation sector with a diversified business model spanning multiple industry segments. Its subsidiaries cover a broad range of services from automotive retail to logistics and motorsports, indicating a robust ecosystem and multiple revenue streams. The website's clear branding and subsidiary listings support transparency and business credibility. The target audience includes both business clients and consumers interested in transportation-related services. The company leverages partnerships and subsidiary domains to extend its market reach and service offerings.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and integrates security and accessibility tools such as UserWay and SiteImprove Analytics. However, it lacks explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and does not provide visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The absence of a cookie consent mechanism is a minor compliance gap. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be enhanced with additional headers and explicit security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner to comply fully with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Publish explicit security policy and incident response information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Include verified company contact emails and phone numbers on the website to improve user trust and support.
  5. Investigate and resolve the absence of WHOIS data to strengthen domain registration trustworthiness.

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.
