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

Porsche Holding Salzburg is Europe's largest and most successful automobile trading company, founded in 1947 and operating in 29 countries across three continents. As a wholly owned subsidiary of Volkswagen AG, it focuses on distributing Volkswagen Group brands including Volkswagen, Škoda, SEAT, CUPRA, Audi, Lamborghini, Bentley, Ducati, and Porsche. The company offers a comprehensive range of services including automobile wholesale, retail, financial services, and IT systems, positioning itself as a key player in the automotive distribution sector. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies such as React and Next.js, with integrations for privacy management (OneTrust) and analytics (Google Tag Manager). The site is well-optimized for SEO and mobile devices, featuring a professional design and clear navigation. Security best practices are observed with HTTPS enforcement and appropriate security headers, although explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not published. The security posture is strong with no visible vulnerabilities or blocking mechanisms. Privacy compliance is robust, with comprehensive privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms in place. However, the absence of WHOIS data for the domain introduces some uncertainty regarding domain registration legitimacy, though the website content and external references strongly support its authenticity. Overall, Porsche Holding Salzburg's digital presence reflects a mature, professional, and secure corporate environment. Strategic recommendations include publishing explicit security policies, establishing a vulnerability disclosure program, and enhancing accessibility features to further strengthen trust and compliance.

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 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Porsche Holding Salzburg holds a dominant market position in the European automotive trade industry, leveraging its affiliation with Volkswagen AG to distribute a wide portfolio of premium automotive brands. Its business model integrates wholesale, retail, financial services, and IT solutions, enabling end-to-end automotive distribution. The company targets automotive dealers, customers, and potential employees, offering extensive career opportunities across multiple countries. Growth indicators include a broad geographic footprint and multiple certifications as a top employer. The partnership ecosystem includes official media and news platforms, enhancing brand visibility and stakeholder engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a high level of security maturity with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and privacy compliance aligned with GDPR. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the lack of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency. The absence of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file suggests room for improvement in proactive security communication. Overall, the security culture appears strong but could benefit from enhanced documentation and user-facing security information.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page detailing security practices and incident response procedures.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance website accessibility to meet higher standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Increase transparency around data retention policies and user privacy to strengthen GDPR compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React and Next.js framework, indicating a contemporary and scalable technical infrastructure. Integration with OneTrust for cookie management and Google Tag Manager for analytics reflects a mature approach to privacy and data tracking. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly, with structured content blocks and digital asset management for media. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in loading times. The absence of explicit hosting provider information suggests a possible use of cloud or CDN services. Technical risks are minimal but include the need for continuous monitoring of third-party dependencies.
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.
