The company offers a broad range of automotive services including new and used car sales, vehicle rental, automotive servicing, and e-mobility solutions. Their partnerships with major automotive brands such as Opel, Peugeot, Fiat, Hyundai, and Mazda position them as a comprehensive mobility partner for consumers and businesses alike. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear navigation and relevant content tailored to their target audience. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using popular plugins like WPBakery Page Builder and Slider Revolution, supported by a reputable hosting provider (Heitech). The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features.

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

7 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  2. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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';…

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

Autohaus Winter operates as a medium-sized regional automotive dealership with a diversified business model encompassing new and used vehicle sales, rentals, and automotive services. Their market positioning is strengthened by partnerships with multiple well-known automotive brands and a multi-location presence, enabling them to serve a broad customer base including private consumers and corporate clients. The company leverages digital channels such as social media and a career portal to engage with customers and potential employees. Their business model is primarily revenue-driven through vehicle sales and service offerings, with additional income from rentals and mobility subscriptions. The website content and structure indicate a focus on customer convenience and comprehensive service, which are competitive advantages in their regional market.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent management in place, reflecting compliance with GDPR requirements. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options suggests room for improvement in defense-in-depth strategies. No exposed sensitive information or vulnerable libraries were detected, and forms appear to be standard without visible security flaws. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, indicating potential gaps in transparency and readiness. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a regional business but would benefit from enhanced security controls and documented incident response procedures to mitigate risks effectively.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen browser security.
  2. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities from outdated software.
  3. Conduct periodic security audits and penetration testing to proactively identify and remediate vulnerabilities.
  4. Develop and publish a clear security policy and incident response plan to improve transparency and preparedness.
  5. Enhance form security with anti-CSRF tokens and input validation to prevent injection attacks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a widely used CMS platform, WordPress, utilizing popular page builder and slider plugins that facilitate rich content presentation. Hosting is provided by Heitech, as indicated by the authoritative nameservers. The site loads with moderate performance, likely influenced by the use of multiple large images and slider assets. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design elements and mobile-specific navigation controls. Accessibility features are basic, with some ARIA roles and keyboard navigation aids, but could be improved. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, canonical links, and structured navigation menus. The technical stack is standard for regional business websites, offering ease of maintenance but requiring attention to security and performance optimization to ensure long-term stability.
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.
