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

8 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

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 Hrvatska holds a strong market position as the official Volkswagen brand representative in Croatia, backed by Porsche Holding Salzburg. The business model focuses on automotive sales, financing, and after-sales services. The website supports customer engagement through detailed model presentations, configurators, and immediate delivery options. The partnership ecosystem includes Porsche Holding and technology partners like Porsche Informatik. Growth indicators include the promotion of electric and hybrid vehicles, aligning with global automotive trends. The site’s content and structure reflect a strategic approach to brand consistency and customer trust.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security posture with HTTPS enabled and multiple security headers implemented. There is no evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries in the HTML content. However, the absence of a public vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file suggests room for improvement in transparency and incident response readiness. Privacy policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, indicating a strong data protection culture. The use of Google Tag Manager introduces moderate user tracking, balanced by cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, the security maturity is good but could benefit from enhanced disclosure and incident response documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and vulnerability disclosure page to improve transparency and trust.
  2. Remove or adjust the 'noindex' meta tag to enhance SEO and organic traffic unless there is a strategic reason to keep it.
  3. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize security risks and privacy concerns.
  4. Enhance contact information visibility, including verified company emails and phone numbers for customer and security contacts.
  5. Implement a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability reporting and incident response.

  3. Privacy and cookie policies are present and comprehensive.

Technical notes

Notes

The website leverages a modern React and Next.js framework, enabling server-side rendering and improved performance. Preloading of fonts and images indicates attention to performance optimization. The site is mobile-optimized with good accessibility features such as skip links and focus management. SEO is partially implemented but limited by the 'noindex' directive. Hosting details are not explicit but the domain registrar is a Croatian provider, consistent with the market focus. The use of Google Tag Manager supports analytics and marketing but requires ongoing privacy management. Overall, the technical infrastructure is robust with opportunities for SEO and security enhancements.
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.
