With nearly 50 years of experience and multiple physical locations, the company serves both private and public sector clients primarily in Germany. Their website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, providing detailed information about their offerings and contact points. Technically, the website is built on Drupal 10 with modern front-end technologies such as Bootstrap 4 and jQuery, ensuring good mobile responsiveness and user experience. Cookie consent is managed via CookieFirst, indicating attention to privacy compliance. Performance is moderate, with no critical technical issues detected. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with a good SSL configuration but lacks explicit security headers and a published security policy or incident response contacts. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. Privacy compliance is strong with clear privacy and cookie policies.

Strategic improvements in security headers and incident response transparency would enhance their security posture further.

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. 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

    • 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

  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

      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';…

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 solid market position in the transportation sector focused on municipal vehicles, targeting municipalities and waste management organizations. Their business model combines vehicle sales, rentals, and after-sales service, supported by multiple regional locations. The presence of a large rental fleet and specialized workshops indicates a comprehensive service offering. The company’s nearly 50-year history and multiple contact points suggest stable operations and customer trust. External links to major vehicle marketplaces indicate active sales channels. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified, suggesting independent operation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of a public security policy or incident response contacts are gaps. No signs of vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The use of third-party scripts is limited and primarily related to cookie management. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved by adding security headers and publishing incident response information to enhance transparency and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies regularly to stay aligned with evolving GDPR and ePrivacy regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by Drupal 10, a modern and secure CMS platform, combined with Bootstrap 4 for responsive design and jQuery for interactivity. The use of Owl Carousel and FontAwesome enhances UI/UX. The site loads with moderate performance and is mobile optimized. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and canonical links. No hosting provider details were found in the HTML or WHOIS data. The technical stack is current and well-maintained, though there is room for improvement in accessibility and security headers. No forms were detected on the homepage, indicating limited direct data collection at this entry point.
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.
