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

Telenav Inc is a technology company specializing in connected car solutions, offering advanced navigation, in-vehicle infotainment, and commerce platforms tailored for automotive manufacturers and consumers. The company holds a strong market position with partnerships including major automotive brands such as Daimler, Ford, and Toyota. Their website reflects a mature digital presence with professional design, comprehensive content, and clear navigation. Technically, the site leverages modern JavaScript libraries, Google Analytics, and a cookie consent framework, hosted on a reliable CDN infrastructure. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, though explicit security policies and incident response contacts are absent. Privacy compliance is well addressed with detailed policies and opt-in cookie management. However, the lack of WHOIS data for the domain introduces some uncertainty regarding domain registration legitimacy, warranting further verification. Overall, the website demonstrates a high level of professionalism and trustworthiness suitable for its industry and audience.

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

3 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 256-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

  2. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Potential Subdomain Takeover

      Subdomain staging.telenav.com points to unregistered service ec2s-tnweb-lb-215851967.us-west-2.elb.amazonaws.com

      What to do: Remove or fix CNAME record to prevent subdomain takeover

      • WSTG-CONF-10
      • NIS2 21(2)(i)
      • IR 2024/2690 12.4: Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 12.4: Asset inventory
      • NIST CM-8: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-8: System Component Inventory

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

Telenav operates primarily in the technology and transportation sectors, focusing on connected car services. Their business model is B2B and B2B2C, providing software and services that enhance driving experiences through navigation, entertainment, and commerce. The company targets automotive OEMs and end users seeking integrated digital driving solutions. Their market presence is reinforced by notable clients and press coverage. Revenue streams likely include licensing, service subscriptions, and partnerships. The website's content and structure support a strong brand image and customer engagement. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the site suggests a controlled communication approach, possibly funneling inquiries through forms or partner channels.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a strong SSL configuration and uses cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR requirements. No security headers were explicitly detected in the provided data, indicating room for improvement in HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy and HSTS. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were found. The lack of a published security policy and incident response contact reduces transparency and may impact trust from security-conscious partners. There is no evidence of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by formalizing security governance and communication.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information, such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.
  4. Enhance HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Webflow CMS, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Slick Carousel, and Vanilla Tilt for interactive UI elements. Google Fonts and Google Analytics are integrated for typography and analytics respectively. Hosting is via AWS Cloudfront CDN, ensuring fast content delivery and global reach. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. Performance is fast with smooth animations and lazy loading techniques. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Technical debt appears minimal, but the absence of explicit security headers and WHOIS data indicates areas for technical and operational improvement.
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.
