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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  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 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. 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

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

TruckScout24 GmbH targets the transportation sector, focusing on the niche of used commercial and leisure vehicles. Its business model revolves around an online marketplace generating revenue through vehicle listing fees and professional seller accounts. The company leverages partnerships and sponsorships to enhance brand visibility and trust. The platform's extensive vehicle categories and manufacturer listings indicate a broad and diverse inventory, appealing to a wide audience across Europe. The presence of localized versions and multiple language alternates suggests a strategic approach to international market penetration. The company’s transparent contact information and VAT registration reinforce its credibility and regulatory compliance.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS, CSRF tokens, and Google reCAPTCHA integration to mitigate automated abuse. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy and incident response contacts limits transparency and preparedness communication. No security headers were explicitly detected in the HTML content, which could be improved to enhance protection against common web attacks. There is no evidence of vulnerability disclosure programs or security.txt files, which are best practices for mature security postures. Overall, the security maturity is moderate to good but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and user guidance.
  2. Provide explicit incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and enforce security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program and publish a security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to mitigate risks from known vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a solid technical foundation using the Yii2 PHP framework, Bootstrap for responsive design, and jQuery for client-side scripting. It integrates modern UI components such as Keen Slider for carousels and Google services for analytics and bot protection. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive images and adaptive layouts. Performance appears moderate with preloading of key images and deferred script loading. SEO is supported by comprehensive meta tags, canonical links, hreflang attributes for multilingual support, and structured data in JSON-LD format. Accessibility is addressed with ARIA labels and semantic HTML elements. Opportunities exist to improve performance further by optimizing third-party script usage and enhancing security headers.
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.
