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

Škoda Auto a.s. is a prominent automobile manufacturer operating in the Czech Republic, offering a comprehensive range of vehicles, financing options, and after-sales services. The website serves as the official portal for the Czech market, providing detailed model information, promotional offers, and tools such as a car configurator and dealer locator. The company holds a strong market position with consistent branding and a large-scale business model focused on transportation and automotive sales. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including React, Bootstrap, and jQuery, ensuring a responsive and user-friendly experience. The site integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. Performance and mobile optimization are good, though accessibility features could be enhanced. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data. However, the absence of visible security headers and explicit privacy and cookie policies suggests room for improvement in compliance and security best practices. The lack of WHOIS data limits full verification of domain legitimacy but does not detract significantly from the site's professional presentation. Overall, the website is a well-designed, trustworthy platform for Škoda Auto's Czech customers, with recommendations to enhance privacy compliance, security headers, and contact transparency to further strengthen its 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

5 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 Consent Banner found

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

Škoda Auto a.s. operates as a key player in the automotive industry within the Czech Republic, targeting consumers interested in purchasing new and used vehicles, leasing, and financing. The business model revolves around direct sales, after-sales services, and digital tools to enhance customer engagement. The company leverages a strong brand and extensive product portfolio including electric and hybrid models. The website reflects a strategic focus on digital transformation with integrated configurators and online service booking. Partnerships and external domains suggest a controlled ecosystem primarily focused on brand and service delivery. Growth indicators include active promotions and a comprehensive service offering, positioning Škoda Auto as a market leader in its sector.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with HTTPS enforced and no visible exposure of sensitive data. The use of Google Tag Manager is standard for analytics but requires ongoing monitoring for third-party script risks. The absence of explicit security headers in the HTML source is a notable gap, potentially impacting protection against clickjacking, MIME sniffing, and other web attacks. No forms or input fields were detected in the analyzed content, reducing immediate risk from injection attacks. Privacy and cookie policies are not evident, which may lead to compliance issues under GDPR. Incident response and security contact information are not provided, limiting transparency and readiness. Overall, the site is secure for general browsing but would benefit from enhanced security headers, clear privacy documentation, and incident response channels.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen web security.
  3. Publish clear contact information for security incidents and designate an incident response contact.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities and reduce attack surface.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using a modern technology stack including React for UI components, Bootstrap for styling, and jQuery for legacy support. It is hosted with CDN support from cdn.skoda-auto.com and integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by multiple external scripts and rich media content. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Technical risks include missing security headers and potential privacy compliance gaps. Opportunities exist to streamline scripts, improve accessibility, and enhance security configurations to reduce technical debt and improve resilience.
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.
