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

Dott is a European micromobility company founded in 2018, providing electric scooter and bike rental services aimed at creating pollution-free cities designed for people rather than cars. The company has established a solid market presence with a professional and well-structured website that supports multiple languages and integrates modern tracking and analytics tools. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with a modern tech stack including Google Tag Manager, Google Maps API, and advanced UI libraries, delivering a good user experience with excellent mobile optimization and SEO. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS with domain protections in place but lacks some advanced security headers and explicit security policies. Privacy compliance is strong, with comprehensive privacy and cookie policies and a visible Data Protection Officer contact. Overall, the website reflects a mature digital presence with moderate security posture and good compliance, suitable for its business model and audience.

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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  2. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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';…

  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 · found on this site
  • 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

Dott operates in the transportation sector focusing on micromobility solutions such as electric scooters and bikes. Its business model revolves around urban mobility services targeting environmentally conscious city dwellers and commuters. The company leverages partnerships and maintains an active social media presence to enhance brand visibility. The website's multilingual support indicates a broad European market reach. Revenue streams likely include rental fees and possibly partnerships with municipalities. The company demonstrates growth potential through its consistent branding, comprehensive policies, and digital maturity. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified from the data.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS enforced and domain status flags preventing unauthorized transfers or deletions. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers like Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, which could impact trust and readiness in case of security incidents. The cookie consent mechanism is implemented via OneTrust, supporting GDPR compliance. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be enhanced by adopting additional security best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and preparedness.
  4. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  5. Continue monitoring and updating third-party libraries to avoid vulnerabilities and maintain compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress and uses a variety of modern JavaScript libraries and APIs including Google Tag Manager, Google Maps API, Plyr for video playback, and Select2 for enhanced UI components. The site loads external resources from reputable CDNs and integrates OneTrust for cookie consent management. Performance is moderate, with good mobile responsiveness and accessibility features. SEO is well-optimized with proper meta tags, Open Graph data, and JSON-LD structured data. Hosting details are not explicit but DNS is managed via Google Cloud DNS and domain registration is through Squarespace Domains II LLC. The technical stack supports a professional and scalable web presence but could benefit from enhanced security configurations.
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.
