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

Barco operates as an essential entity in the technology sector, focusing on visualization and collaboration solutions across multiple industries. Its business model is B2B, targeting professionals in healthcare, enterprise, and entertainment. The company benefits from a strong brand, extensive product lines, and a global presence with physical offices and support channels. Partnerships and dedicated portals for jobs and services indicate a mature ecosystem. The website's content and structure support lead generation, customer support, and brand positioning, reflecting a well-integrated digital strategy.

Security posture

The website exhibits a high security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, use of Cloudflare's Turnstile CAPTCHA, and comprehensive cookie consent management via OneTrust. Security headers are likely implemented, and no vulnerable libraries or exposed credentials were found. However, the absence of a public security policy or incident response contact reduces transparency. The site follows best practices in data protection and user privacy, aligning with GDPR requirements. Overall, the security posture is strong with minor areas for improvement in policy disclosure.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page detailing security practices and controls.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ emails.
  3. Regularly review and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Implement and publicly disclose a comprehensive Content Security Policy (CSP).
  5. Ensure all user input forms include anti-CSRF tokens and validation.

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager, a robust enterprise CMS, integrated with Google Tag Manager, Adobe DTM, Marketo, and OneTrust for analytics and compliance.

Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. The technical infrastructure supports a scalable and secure digital presence suitable for an enterprise-level organization.
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.
