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

The Clean Vehicle Grants Project website serves as the official information portal for the California Clean Vehicle Rebate Project (CVRP), administered by the Center for Sustainable Energy on behalf of the California Air Resources Board. It provides comprehensive resources including eligibility guidelines, rebate application access, FAQs, and program updates targeted at California residents and businesses interested in electric vehicle incentives. The site is positioned as an authoritative source within the clean energy and transportation sectors, supporting California's sustainability goals. Technically, the website is built on Drupal 10, leveraging modern web technologies and integrations such as Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and social media pixels for marketing and analytics purposes. The site is hosted behind Cloudflare DNS and CDN services, ensuring reliable delivery and moderate performance. Mobile optimization and accessibility features are well implemented, contributing to a positive user experience. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and employs domain registration protections but lacks DNSSEC and advanced security headers, which are recommended for enhanced security posture. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no visible cookie consent mechanism. Contact information is clearly provided with multilingual support, enhancing trust and accessibility. Overall, the website demonstrates a solid business credibility and technical foundation with room for improvement in security hardening and privacy compliance. The domain registration details align well with the business purpose, supporting legitimacy and trustworthiness.

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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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

The website operates as a government program information portal, focusing on electric vehicle rebates in California. It benefits from partnerships with recognized entities such as the California Air Resources Board and the Center for Sustainable Energy. The business model centers on public program administration and information dissemination rather than direct commercial transactions. The target audience includes California residents, businesses, and stakeholders interested in clean transportation incentives. The site’s market position is strong as an official source, with competitive advantages including authoritative content and government backing. Growth indicators include program updates and integration with state initiatives. The partnership ecosystem is evident through linked domains and logos of related organizations.

Security posture

The security maturity level is moderate, with HTTPS enforced and domain registration protections in place. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers like Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security represent gaps. No incident response or security policy information is published, limiting transparency. Data protection practices appear standard, with no exposed sensitive data or vulnerabilities detected. The use of multiple tracking pixels suggests moderate user tracking, which may have privacy implications. Overall, the site is secure for its purpose but would benefit from enhanced security controls and privacy compliance measures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Add a clear cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and improve user transparency.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to enhance trust and preparedness.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking pixels to minimize privacy risks and improve performance.

The website uses Drupal 10 CMS, a modern and robust platform suitable for government and public service sites. It integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, Twitter Tag, and LinkedIn Insight Tag. Hosting is via Cloudflare DNS and CDN, providing performance and security benefits.

The technical stack is current with no deprecated or vulnerable libraries detected. Opportunities exist to enhance security configurations and privacy compliance.
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.
