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.

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.

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.

Business context
Business profile
Volkswagen Group operates in the transportation and technology sectors with a diversified brand portfolio including Volkswagen, Audi, Porsche, and others. The business model centers on automotive manufacturing, technology innovation, and mobility services. The website targets a wide audience including investors and media, providing detailed financial, governance, and sustainability information. The company demonstrates strong market positioning with transparent communication and active social media engagement. Growth is supported by strategic innovation initiatives and sustainability commitments. The digital presence is consistent with a large enterprise, emphasizing trust and professionalism.
Security posture
The website employs HTTPS with good SSL configuration and a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. Use of Matomo analytics indicates privacy-conscious tracking. However, the site lacks explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and does not publicly disclose a security policy or incident response contacts. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The security posture is solid but could be improved by publishing security policies and implementing additional HTTP security headers. Incident response readiness and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not evident, representing an area for enhancement.
Recommendations
Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
Implement and enforce HTTP security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve transparency.
Enhance visibility of contact information for security and privacy inquiries.
Regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics tools to ensure no vulnerabilities or privacy issues.

Technical notes
Notes
The website uses modern web technologies including HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, and lazy loading for images. Matomo analytics is integrated with user consent, reflecting a privacy-aware approach. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good accessibility features. Performance is fast with efficient asset loading from dedicated Volkswagen domains. No CMS or hosting provider details are explicitly detected. The technical implementation supports a high-quality user experience and aligns with enterprise standards. Opportunities exist to enhance security headers and provide more explicit technical transparency.
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.
