Risk levelLow

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

Truck Paper operates a comprehensive online marketplace specializing in new and used commercial trucks, trailers, and related equipment. The platform serves buyers and sellers by providing detailed listings, categorized by truck and trailer types and manufacturers. It is supported by Sandhills Global, a reputable parent company with multiple industry-focused platforms. The website demonstrates a mature digital presence with modern technologies such as React and Material UI, integrated analytics, and advertising networks. The content is professionally curated, targeting commercial transportation industry participants. Security posture is strong with HTTPS and security headers, though explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not publicly available. WHOIS data is unavailable, which slightly impacts transparency but does not detract from the site's legitimacy given its corporate backing and professional presentation.

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

4 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 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';…

  2. 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

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

Truck Paper holds a strong market position as a leading platform for commercial truck and trailer sales, leveraging its parent company Sandhills Global's ecosystem. Its business model combines online listings with a traditional publication, offering financing and market reports to enhance user engagement. The platform targets commercial vehicle buyers and sellers, including dealers and fleet operators. Partnerships and subsidiaries under Sandhills Global provide a broad industry reach. The website's extensive categorization and search capabilities indicate a focus on user experience and market segmentation. Growth potential is supported by integration with financing and dealer portals, enhancing transactional capabilities.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security foundation with enforced HTTPS, presence of key security headers, and secure form handling including CSRF tokens. However, the absence of a publicly available security policy and incident response information limits transparency and preparedness perception. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. Privacy compliance is supported by visible privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms, aligning with GDPR requirements. The security score is high but could be improved by publishing explicit security and incident response documentation and implementing a vulnerability disclosure program.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and standards.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly review and update privacy and cookie policies to maintain compliance with evolving regulations.
  5. Enhance WHOIS transparency if possible to improve domain trustworthiness and reduce suspicion.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React framework with Material UI components, ensuring a responsive and accessible user interface. Integration with Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics enables robust tracking and marketing analytics. The site uses external fonts and icon libraries for consistent branding and user experience. Performance is moderate with preloading of key assets and asynchronous script loading. Accessibility features such as ARIA labels and keyboard navigation are implemented. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Technical risks are minimal, but ongoing monitoring for library vulnerabilities and performance optimization is recommended.
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.
