Risk levelLow

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

Škoda Motorsport is the official motorsport division of the Czech automotive manufacturer Škoda Auto, with a rich history dating back to 1901. The website serves as a hub for news, customer programs, and information about Škoda's rally and motorsport activities, targeting motorsport enthusiasts and professional racing teams. The company holds a strong market position in the motorsport industry, particularly in rally championships, supported by a professional and content-rich website. Technically, the site is built on WordPress, leveraging modern technologies such as Amazon S3 for asset hosting and Azure CDN for script delivery, with good SEO and mobile optimization. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and secure form handling, though some security headers could be improved. Privacy compliance is partially addressed with a clear privacy policy and GDPR consent on newsletter forms, but lacks a cookie banner. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and well-maintained, though the absence of WHOIS data for the domain is a notable anomaly requiring monitoring.

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. 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 384-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.

Technical appendix

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

Business context

Business profile

Škoda Motorsport operates as an essential entity within the transportation sector, focusing on motorsport vehicle development and customer racing programs. The business model revolves around supporting motorsport teams and promoting Škoda's rally cars globally. The website reflects a mature digital presence with extensive content, social media integration, and customer engagement tools like newsletters. The company benefits from its parent Škoda Auto's brand strength and has a large operational scale. Growth indicators include active news updates and customer program expansions. The partnership ecosystem includes social media platforms and CDN providers, though no direct business partner domains were identified. Strategic observations suggest continued investment in digital marketing and enhanced privacy compliance could further strengthen market position.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and secure handling of user inputs, such as newsletter subscriptions with consent checkboxes. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents a compliance gap. There is no published security policy or incident response contact information, which limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. GDPR compliance is partially met but could be improved with a visible cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from enhanced header policies and formalized incident response documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a visible cookie consent banner to improve GDPR compliance and user transparency regarding tracking.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and provide clear incident response contact channels to build trust and readiness.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance by detailing data retention policies and providing easy access to data protection officer contact information.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Yoast SEO plugin, jQuery, and Google Tag Manager integration, indicating a modern and maintainable tech stack. Assets are served via Amazon S3 and Azure CDN, supporting good performance and scalability. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and accessibility features. SEO is well implemented with proper meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous script loading and minimal blocking resources. Technical risks include potential outdated jQuery migrate usage and lack of some security headers. Opportunities exist to modernize JavaScript libraries and improve security configurations to reduce technical debt and enhance 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.
