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

7 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

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

    • 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 Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

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

SIXT operates as a leading player in the transportation and mobility sector, leveraging a diversified business model that includes short-term rentals, long-term leasing, and subscription services. The company targets a wide audience from private consumers to corporate clients, supported by a global network of rental locations. The website's multilingual and multi-regional structure supports international operations. Partnerships such as SIXT Leasing are integrated into the ecosystem, enhancing service offerings. The brand's longevity since 1912 and consistent branding reinforce market trust and competitive advantage. Growth opportunities exist in expanding digital services and enhancing privacy and security transparency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS and modern JavaScript frameworks. However, the absence of visible security headers like Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security policies or incident response contacts indicate room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The use of Usercentrics suggests some level of GDPR compliance, but explicit privacy and cookie policies are missing, which could be a compliance gap. The site lacks a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file, limiting transparency for security researchers. Overall, security maturity is moderate with recommendations to enhance headers, policies, and incident response visibility.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear consent mechanisms.
  2. Add standard security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options) to improve security posture.
  3. Provide clear contact information for security incidents and designate a data protection officer publicly.
  4. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using React, leveraging modern web fonts and SVG graphics for branding. It uses Usercentrics for consent management, indicating integration of privacy tools. The site preloads fonts and scripts for performance optimization and is mobile responsive with good navigation clarity. However, no CMS or hosting provider information was detected. Performance is moderate with potential for improvement in accessibility and SEO. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and more explicit privacy compliance features.
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.
