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

Unbeatablecar is a well-established family-run car supermarket business operating for over 35 years in the UK, specializing in new and used car sales with multiple locations in West Sussex. The company offers a wide range of vehicles from numerous manufacturers, supported by services such as car finance, leasing, and export. Their market position is strong as one of the largest independent dealers in the region, with trust certifications from RAC and Trading Standards enhancing their credibility. Technically, the website employs a modern tech stack including Bootstrap and jQuery, with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS usage and no exposed sensitive data, but lacks visible security headers and public security policies. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain is a notable concern, potentially impacting trustworthiness. Overall, the website is professional, user-friendly, and content-rich, serving a broad audience of car buyers both locally and internationally.

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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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 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 business operates in the transportation sector focusing on retail car sales and related financial services. Their competitive advantage lies in their large inventory, transparent pricing, and regulatory approvals that build consumer trust. Revenue streams include direct car sales, financing, leasing, and export services. The target customers are both trade and public buyers, including international clients. Growth indicators include multiple locations and a strong online presence with advanced search capabilities. Partnerships with regulatory bodies and financial authorities strengthen their ecosystem. Strategic observations highlight the need to address domain registration transparency to enhance trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS and no visible sensitive data leakage. However, it lacks explicit security headers and public incident response or security policies, which are important for compliance and user trust. There is no evidence of vulnerability disclosures or a security.txt file. Data protection practices appear basic with privacy and cookie policies present and GDPR compliance implied. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not publicly visible, suggesting room for improvement in transparency and preparedness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response plan on the website.
  2. Add and enforce HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data issue to improve domain legitimacy and trust.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency by providing contact details for data protection officers or security contacts.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a stable and widely supported technology stack including Bootstrap 3.3.4, jQuery, Select2, and Typekit fonts, ensuring compatibility and responsiveness. Performance is moderate with deferred script loading and CDN usage for fonts and libraries. The site is mobile optimized with a clear navigation structure and advanced search features. However, there is no detected CMS or hosting provider information, and no modern frameworks like React or Angular are used. Accessibility is basic but functional. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts without visible security controls and the lack of security headers, which could expose the site to certain web attacks.
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.
