Risk levelLow

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

Škoda Storyboard is a professionally designed and content-rich website serving as a media and storytelling platform for Škoda Auto, a well-established automotive manufacturer. The site targets journalists, influencers, customers, and fans, providing news, press releases, and engaging stories about Škoda vehicles and company initiatives. The technical infrastructure leverages WordPress CMS with modern plugins and CDN delivery, ensuring fast performance and excellent mobile optimization. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforcement and privacy consent mechanisms, although explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not published. The domain WHOIS data is missing, which raises some concerns about registration transparency but does not detract from the overall professional presentation and trustworthiness of the site content. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security header implementation, publishing security and incident response policies, and improving direct contact information availability.

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 Auto operates in the transportation sector as a subsidiary of Volkswagen Group, with a strong global market presence. The website supports brand engagement and media relations, focusing on innovation, sustainability, and electric mobility. The business model combines automotive manufacturing with digital media outreach to strengthen brand loyalty and market positioning. The site’s multi-language support and comprehensive content indicate a mature digital strategy. Partnerships and related domains include the parent Volkswagen Group and associated Škoda domains. Growth indicators include frequent content updates and integration of modern marketing tools like Google Tag Manager.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and use of consent-based data collection for newsletters. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and a security.txt file limits transparency and readiness perception. Security headers are partially implied but not explicitly confirmed in the HTML. The site uses third-party scripts from trusted sources but should regularly audit these for vulnerabilities. Overall, the security maturity is good but can be improved by formalizing policies and enhancing header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and explicitly publish comprehensive security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve security posture.
  4. Enhance direct company contact information availability on the website for better user support and trust.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Yoast SEO plugin, jQuery, and uses Azure CDN for content delivery. It employs modern JavaScript libraries such as Vimeo Player API and Flickity for interactive content. The site is well-optimized for performance and mobile responsiveness, with structured data implemented via JSON-LD for SEO benefits. The technical stack is modern and robust, supporting a fast and accessible user experience. Opportunities exist to improve security header implementation and formalize privacy and security documentation to reduce technical risks.
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.
