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

Q&F - Comércio de Automóveis e Acessórios Lda is a Portuguese company founded in 1992 specializing in the commercialization and technical assistance of automotive competition, karting, and performance products. The company represents prestigious brands such as Sparco, Alpinestars, BBS, K&N, and Eibach, serving both individual customers and professional competitors. Their market position is strong within Portugal as a dynamic and innovative player in the automotive racing sector. The website is built on a modern WordPress and WooCommerce infrastructure, utilizing popular plugins like Elementor and Yoast SEO to provide a professional e-commerce experience. The technical infrastructure is solid with good mobile optimization and SEO practices, although performance is moderate. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and no obvious vulnerabilities, but lacks published security policies and incident response information. Privacy compliance is weak due to the absence of privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security transparency.

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

11 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.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

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 operates in the retail and transportation sectors, focusing on automotive racing and performance products. Their business model combines product sales with technical support, targeting both private clients and professional racing teams. The company leverages partnerships with well-known brands to maintain competitive advantage. The website's e-commerce platform supports product categorization and search, indicating a mature digital sales channel. Social media integration with Facebook and Instagram supports marketing efforts. Growth indicators include over 20 years of market presence and continuous innovation. No direct parent or subsidiary companies were identified. The company maintains a consistent brand image and good content quality on the website.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and uses reputable plugins and libraries, which contributes to a good baseline security posture. However, there is no evidence of advanced security headers or published security policies. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is available, which could hinder rapid response to security events. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. Forms on the site appear standard but lack explicit security or privacy notices. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be improved with better transparency and policy publication.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with explicit consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Implement and publish security policies including incident response and vulnerability disclosure procedures.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection.
  4. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability scans of the website and plugins.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve user experience for all users.

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.7.1 with WooCommerce 9.8.1, using Elementor for page building and Yoast SEO for search engine optimization. It includes modern front-end libraries such as jQuery 3.7.1 and FontAwesome 6.6.0. The site loads resources from trusted external domains like Google Fonts and FontAwesome CDN. Performance is moderate, with good mobile responsiveness and basic accessibility. The site uses Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking. There is no evidence of outdated or vulnerable libraries. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, but performance optimization could be enhanced. Hosting provider details are not explicitly available from the content.
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.
