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.

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

pitstop.de targets car owners in Germany seeking reliable and convenient automotive services. Its business model combines physical workshop services with online sales of automotive parts and tires. The company benefits from a broad partnership ecosystem including tire manufacturers and inspection organizations, enhancing its service offerings. The presence of customer review integrations and industry certifications strengthens its competitive advantage. Growth indicators include a large number of branches and employees, as well as a mature domain age consistent with its founding year. The company emphasizes fair pricing, transparent service, and quality assurance, which are key differentiators in the automotive service market.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive information. Use of Microsoft Application Insights indicates active monitoring of site performance and errors. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy or HSTS reduces defense-in-depth. No public security or incident response policies were found, which could impact transparency and readiness. Privacy compliance is strong with clear cookie consent and privacy policies aligned with GDPR. No vulnerabilities or suspicious domains were detected. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by publishing explicit security policies and implementing additional HTTP security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Add a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance contact information visibility by providing verified company emails and phone numbers for customer support.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking services to ensure compliance with privacy regulations and minimize tracking footprint.

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.
