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

Bayards Group is a globally recognized leader in complex aluminium constructions, serving diverse sectors including offshore, civil infrastructure, yacht building, defence, transport, architecture, and urban air mobility. The company leverages over 60 years of expertise to deliver customized, high-quality aluminium solutions through its specialized business units. Their market position is strong, supported by a professional digital presence and active engagement on major social media platforms. Technically, the website employs modern frameworks and marketing tools, ensuring a good user experience and moderate performance. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, though there is room for improvement in security headers and explicit policy disclosures. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain is a notable concern, impacting trustworthiness despite the professional appearance and business legitimacy. Overall, the website reflects a mature business with a strong brand but would benefit from enhanced transparency in domain registration and security policies.

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

9 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 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

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

Bayards Group operates a B2B business model focused on manufacturing and engineering of aluminium structures tailored to various industries. Their competitive advantage lies in their long-standing expertise, diversified business units, and customer-centric approach. The company targets industrial clients, architects, and infrastructure developers globally. Revenue streams likely include project-based contracts and specialized aluminium solutions. The partnership ecosystem includes recruitment and design agencies, enhancing operational capabilities. Growth indicators include expansion into urban air mobility infrastructure. Strategic observations highlight the importance of maintaining domain legitimacy and enhancing security transparency to sustain market trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent, and absence of exposed sensitive data. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and absence of published incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies indicate gaps in security governance. Compliance with GDPR is supported by a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie management. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not publicly evident. The missing WHOIS data raises concerns about domain registration transparency, which could impact overall security trust. Addressing these gaps would strengthen the security posture and compliance standing.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  2. Publish explicit security policies and incident response procedures on the website.
  3. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts and marketing tools to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet compliance standards and improve user experience.
  5. Resolve WHOIS data transparency issues to improve domain legitimacy and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website utilizes a modern technology stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and Klaviyo for marketing and analytics. The design is responsive and optimized for mobile devices with good SEO practices. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed and accessibility. The absence of a detected CMS suggests a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not evident. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which require ongoing security monitoring. Opportunities exist to modernize infrastructure and enhance security configurations to reduce technical debt and improve operational resilience.
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.
