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

2 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

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

Volvo operates as a large enterprise with a diversified portfolio spanning transportation and energy sectors. The business model focuses on manufacturing and selling vehicles and related services globally, supported by a network of subsidiaries and partner sites. The website links to multiple official Volvo domains representing different business units, indicating a well-structured corporate ecosystem. The company targets a broad audience including customers, partners, and potential employees worldwide. The use of advanced digital marketing and analytics tools suggests a mature approach to customer engagement and data-driven decision making.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and uses security best practices such as deferred script loading and cookie consent management via OneTrust. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of publicly available security policies or incident response contacts limits transparency. The site would benefit from publishing explicit security and vulnerability disclosure policies to enhance trust and preparedness. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be improved with more visible governance documentation.

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@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure or bug bounty program.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet or exceed WCAG standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager CMS with Scene7 for media delivery, indicating a robust and scalable infrastructure. It uses modern JavaScript libraries such as Glide.js for carousels and Video.js for video playback. Performance optimizations include deferred and asynchronous script loading and responsive design for mobile devices. Hosting appears to be via Akamai CDN, enhancing global delivery speed and reliability. The technical implementation is modern and well-structured, supporting excellent user experience and SEO. Opportunities exist to further improve accessibility and publish technical documentation for 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.
