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

Volvo Car Retail is a prominent automotive retailer in Sweden specializing in new and used vehicles from Volvo, Polestar, and Lynk & Co. The company offers a comprehensive range of services including vehicle sales, leasing, financing, and after-sales servicing. The website reflects a mature digital presence with professional branding, clear navigation, and extensive content tailored to both private and corporate customers. Technically, the site employs modern web technologies such as AngularJS, jQuery, and Google Tag Manager, ensuring a responsive and user-friendly experience. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforcement and cookie consent mechanisms, although some security headers could be improved. The absence of WHOIS data for the queried domain is a concern but likely due to querying the full subdomain rather than the base domain. Overall, the site demonstrates high professionalism and trustworthiness with minor areas for security enhancement.

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. 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 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';…

  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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

Volvo Car Retail operates in the transportation sector as a large-scale retailer and service provider for Volvo and associated brands in Sweden. Its business model focuses on vehicle sales, leasing, and servicing, targeting both private consumers and businesses. The company maintains a strong market position supported by official Volvo branding and a network of physical locations. The website's integration with social media and job portals indicates a well-rounded partnership ecosystem and active engagement with customers and potential employees. Revenue streams likely include vehicle sales, leasing contracts, financing services, and after-sales maintenance. The digital presence supports growth and customer retention through offers, detailed product information, and service booking capabilities.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and secure form handling including anti-forgery tokens. Cookie consent is actively managed via Cookietractor, indicating GDPR compliance. However, the site lacks explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. There is no published security policy or incident response contact information, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from additional hardening and public security disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security.txt file or dedicated vulnerability disclosure page to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  3. Enhance transparency by providing a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS records for the base domain 'volvocarretail.se' to ensure registration data is accurate and publicly accessible.
  5. Continue monitoring and updating third-party scripts and libraries to avoid potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern tech stack including AngularJS for frontend app structure and jQuery for DOM manipulation. Google Tag Manager and Cookietractor are used for analytics and cookie management respectively. The site uses responsive images with WebP format for performance optimization and supports mobile devices well. The CMS appears to be Umbraco, inferred from URL patterns. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in loading speed and caching strategies. Accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA roles are present, contributing to a good user experience. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags, Open Graph data, and structured JSON-LD markup. Technical risks are minimal but could be reduced further by adding missing security headers and improving WHOIS 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.
