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

The website nl.skoda.be serves as the official online presence for Škoda in Belgium, operated by D’Ieteren Automotive SA/NV. It provides comprehensive information about Škoda's vehicle lineup, including electric models, leasing options, fleet services, and aftersales support. The site targets both individual consumers and professional clients in Belgium, offering tools such as a car configurator and test drive requests. The brand's market position is strong, supported by consistent branding and official social media channels. Technically, the website employs a modern technology stack including React and Bootstrap, hosted on Azure CDN infrastructure. It demonstrates good digital maturity with responsive design, SEO optimization, and structured data markup. Security measures are robust, featuring HTTPS, security headers, and secure script loading, although explicit security policy and incident response information are not publicly available. Overall, the security posture is solid with no evident vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms. The domain's WHOIS data is restricted due to DNS Belgium policies, but the domain's legitimacy is supported by its association with the official Škoda brand and D’Ieteren Group. The website is safe for general audiences, with no adult or questionable content detected. Strategic recommendations include publishing a dedicated security policy, enhancing accessibility, and establishing a vulnerability disclosure program to further strengthen trust and compliance.

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

2 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 Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

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 Belgium operates under D’Ieteren Automotive, a large automotive distributor in Belgium. The business model focuses on new car sales, electric vehicle promotion, leasing, fleet management, and aftersales services. The company leverages digital tools to engage customers, including configurators and online test drive bookings. Market positioning is strong as an official brand site, supported by a wide range of vehicle models and electric mobility solutions. Partnerships with related domains like myway.be enhance used car offerings and valuations. The site reflects a mature digital presence aligned with corporate branding and customer engagement strategies.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options), and no visible exposure of sensitive information. Third-party scripts are loaded securely, and privacy policies are in place. However, there is no explicit public security policy or incident response contact information, which are recommended best practices. No vulnerabilities or outdated libraries were detected in the analysis. The site complies with GDPR requirements and uses consent mechanisms for cookies. Overall, the security culture appears professional but could benefit from enhanced transparency and incident readiness disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance website accessibility to meet WCAG standards for broader user inclusivity.
  5. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React and Bootstrap framework, ensuring responsive and user-friendly design. Hosting on Azure CDN provides reliable performance and scalability. SEO is well implemented with meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. The site uses Google Tag Manager and Adobe Target for analytics and marketing optimization. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in loading speed and accessibility features. The technical infrastructure supports a professional and secure user experience, though continuous monitoring and modernization are advised to maintain competitive advantage and security.
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.
