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

5 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.

    • 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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
    • 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

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality

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

XPENG Australia operates in the electric vehicle market, leveraging the global XPENG brand. Its business model focuses on direct sales, online configurators, and after-sales support including servicing and roadside assistance. The company maintains a digital presence with social media channels and uses multiple advertising and tracking platforms to engage customers. Partnerships with VirtualYard for dealer and payment processing indicate a robust operational ecosystem. The site’s content and structure suggest a focus on Australian consumers with fleet programs and test drive services. The business appears to be medium-sized with consistent branding and trust indicators such as safety certifications.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and no visible exposure of sensitive data. Use of iframe sandboxing for embedded dealer forms and security tokens in URLs enhances security. However, the absence of a published security.txt file and lack of explicit advanced security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represent gaps. No incident response or abuse contact information is provided, which could hinder vulnerability reporting and incident management. The site uses multiple third-party tracking scripts which should be regularly audited to mitigate supply chain risks. Overall, security practices are good but could be improved with formal policies and enhanced headers.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve transparency.
  2. Implement and enforce advanced security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Provide clear incident response and abuse contact information on the website.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking pixels for vulnerabilities and privacy compliance.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance statements to explicitly address GDPR and other relevant regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack featuring Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for interactivity, and various JavaScript libraries for galleries and sliders. It integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools including Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, TikTok Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, and Reddit Pixel, indicating a sophisticated marketing infrastructure. Hosting is managed via Cloudflare DNS and VirtualYard platform, which also handles dealer and payment functionalities. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and security header implementation to reduce technical risks.
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.
