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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

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 Cars maintains a strong market position as a premium automotive brand with a focus on sustainability and innovation. The business model centers on manufacturing and selling premium vehicles, supported by digital tools for vehicle configuration and customer engagement. The company targets environmentally conscious consumers and leverages a global brand presence. Partnerships and subsidiaries are not explicitly detailed on the site, but the parent company is Geely Holding Group. The website content quality and branding consistency reinforce the brand's premium image and support customer trust.

Security posture

The website exhibits a robust security posture with HTTPS enforced and comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security. Consent management is implemented via OneTrust, supporting GDPR compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the absence of a publicly accessible security policy or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency. Incident response contact information is not explicitly provided, which could be improved to enhance security readiness and trust.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact channels to facilitate security reporting.
  4. Enhance transparency around data protection officer contact details and data retention policies.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern tech stack including React and Next.js, ensuring fast performance and excellent mobile optimization. SEO and accessibility features are well implemented, contributing to a positive user experience. The use of Google Tag Manager and OneTrust indicates mature marketing and privacy compliance practices. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified, but performance and security configurations suggest a professional hosting environment. Opportunities exist to improve technical documentation around security and compliance to further reduce technical debt and enhance stakeholder confidence.
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.
