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. 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

  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 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

  3. DNS health

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

    • High

      Weak SPF Policy

      SPF record has permissive policy allowing any server to send email

      What to do: Use -all or ~all qualifier for better email security

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

Volkswagen Eesti holds a strong market position in Estonia as a leading automotive brand offering a wide range of vehicles including electric and hybrid models. The business model focuses on vehicle sales, leasing, servicing, and accessories, targeting consumers and fleet customers. The company benefits from a robust partnership ecosystem within the Baltic region, including Volkswagen Baltic and related subsidiaries. The website supports multiple customer journeys with clear navigation and localized content, indicating strategic digital maturity and customer-centric operations.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and client-side guard scripts to block unauthorized external content and requests. However, explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not published, representing an area for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The site adheres to GDPR requirements with clear privacy and cookie policies, enhancing compliance and user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security frameworks and practices.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ emails.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency on data retention policies and user data handling.

Technical notes

Notes

The website leverages Adobe Experience Manager as its CMS and React for frontend rendering, supported by modern JavaScript APIs like IntersectionObserver and MutationObserver for performance and security enhancements. Lazy loading of images and deferred script loading optimize performance. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible with semantic HTML and ARIA labels. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph, and Twitter cards. Hosting details are not explicit but the site uses multiple Volkswagen-owned domains and CDN assets. Overall, the technical infrastructure is robust with room for continuous modernization.
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.
