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

Setra Buses is a premium bus manufacturer affiliated with Daimler Buses, offering a range of bus models and comprehensive services including leasing, used bus sales, and after-sales support. The website is professionally designed, multilingual, and targets transportation companies and bus operators primarily in German-speaking and European markets. The technical infrastructure includes modern web technologies, a consent management platform, and Matomo analytics, indicating a mature digital presence. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS and privacy compliance, though explicit security headers and incident response information are lacking. The WHOIS data is missing or unavailable, which raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy despite the professional website content. Overall, the site is trustworthy but would benefit from improved transparency in domain registration and enhanced security headers.

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

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  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
    • 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.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention setra.de, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for setra.de right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Setra Buses holds a strong market position in the transportation manufacturing sector, leveraging its Daimler Buses parentage. The business model focuses on manufacturing, sales, leasing, and premium after-sales services. The website supports customer engagement through contact forms, newsletters, and social media, indicating active marketing and customer relationship management. The multilingual approach and detailed product information suggest a broad European market focus. The absence of explicit contact emails or phone numbers in the HTML may indicate a preference for controlled communication channels. The company emphasizes brand heritage and quality, supported by awards and professional content.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and a consent management platform, reflecting good privacy and security awareness. However, the lack of visible security headers such as CSP, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates room for improvement in security transparency and readiness. The missing WHOIS data is a notable concern, potentially impacting trust and domain legitimacy verification.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data to improve domain registration transparency and trustworthiness.
  5. Maintain and regularly update privacy and cookie policies to ensure ongoing GDPR compliance and user trust.

Technical notes

It integrates Matomo analytics and Usercentrics CMP for privacy compliance. The site is mobile optimized and accessible with good SEO practices. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization.

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.
