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

The website seatpartner.ch serves as an official SEAT partner locator for the Swiss market, providing users with information about SEAT dealerships and services. It is designed primarily for consumers interested in SEAT vehicles and related services within Switzerland. The site leverages modern web technologies including React and Google Maps API to deliver a functional and visually consistent user experience aligned with the Volkswagen Group branding. However, the content quality is basic, focusing mainly on dealership location without extensive additional information or resources. Technically, the site is well-structured with HTTPS enabled and uses custom fonts and icons to maintain brand identity. Security headers and privacy compliance mechanisms such as privacy and cookie policies are notably absent, representing compliance and security posture gaps. No contact information or incident response details are visible, limiting user support and transparency. Overall, the domain registration aligns well with the brand and market claims, indicating legitimacy and trustworthiness. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance, security headers, and contact transparency would enhance the site's security posture and user trust.

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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  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

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

SEAT, a subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group, operates in the transportation sector with a focus on automotive sales and services. This website supports SEAT's market presence in Switzerland by facilitating customer access to authorized partners and dealerships. The business model centers on brand representation and dealer network support rather than direct sales. The target audience includes prospective and current SEAT customers in Switzerland. The site reflects a medium-sized operation consistent with a regional automotive brand presence. While the site lacks detailed business information such as company registration or VAT numbers, the branding and domain registration data support its authenticity. There is no evidence of partnerships beyond the Volkswagen Group ecosystem or additional revenue streams. The site’s limited content suggests a focused but narrow digital footprint, with potential for growth in customer engagement and service offerings.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced, which is mandatory for protecting user data in transit. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces its defense-in-depth capabilities. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content, which is positive. The lack of visible privacy policies, cookie consent mechanisms, and incident response contacts indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found, limiting transparency and user confidence in security practices. Overall, while the site is not evidently vulnerable, it would benefit from enhanced security controls and compliance documentation to improve its security posture and regulatory adherence.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to strengthen security.
  3. Provide explicit contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security-related inquiries.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy and consider adding a security.txt file to improve transparency.
  5. Regularly audit third-party libraries and scripts to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack with React framework and integrates Google Maps API for location services. Custom font families and FontAwesome icons are used for branding consistency. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design elements and basic accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with external resources loaded from reputable CDNs and cloud providers such as Cloudinary. SEO optimization is basic, with meta tags present but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags detected in the provided HTML snippet. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. There is no evidence of a CMS, suggesting a custom-built or static site approach. Technical risks include missing security headers and lack of privacy compliance mechanisms, which could impact user trust and regulatory compliance.
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.
