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

Bayards Helipads is a specialized company designing, engineering, manufacturing, and installing advanced aluminium helicopter landing platforms for offshore and onshore applications, including hospitals and critical infrastructure. With over 40 years of experience and a global footprint spanning more than 70 countries, Bayards offers turnkey helideck solutions compliant with international aviation and safety standards. The website reflects a professional and well-structured digital presence with rich multimedia content and clear navigation. Technically, the site employs modern web technologies such as Bootstrap, jQuery, and Google Tag Manager, ensuring a responsive and engaging user experience. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented; however, the absence of security headers and a security.txt file suggests room for improvement. The lack of WHOIS data for the domain raises concerns about domain legitimacy and registration transparency, which impacts overall trust. Contact information and social media presence are clearly provided, supporting business credibility.

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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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';…

  3. 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

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 Helipads operates in the energy, transport, and healthcare sectors, targeting offshore energy companies, hospitals, and critical infrastructure operators. Their business model focuses on B2B turnkey manufacturing and engineering services, leveraging aluminium's properties for durable, corrosion-resistant helidecks. The company positions itself as a market leader with a strong track record and compliance with stringent international standards. Partnerships within the Bayards Group and a dedicated career site indicate organizational maturity. The website content and branding are consistent and professional, supporting a high level of trustworthiness. Growth indicators include extensive project delivery worldwide and active social media engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and a cookie consent mechanism that supports GDPR compliance. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is publicly available, which could hinder rapid response to security issues. The missing WHOIS data for the domain is a significant concern, potentially indicating privacy protection or registration irregularities. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a corporate site but could be enhanced by implementing recommended headers, publishing security policies, and improving domain registration transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security.txt file and incident response policy to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve transparency.
  3. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to improve trust and legitimacy perception.
  4. Add a clearly accessible terms of service page to clarify user agreements and legal protections.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure privacy compliance and minimize user tracking.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and robust technology stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for DOM manipulation, and various plugins for multimedia and UI enhancements such as Revolution Slider and Owl Carousel. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices including meta descriptions and structured navigation. Performance is moderate, with some heavy multimedia content such as embedded YouTube videos. Accessibility is basic but could be improved with ARIA roles and better keyboard navigation support. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or static site build. Hosting provider details are not available from the provided data.
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.
