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.

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

BDO Eesti holds a leading position in the Estonian accounting and consulting market, supported by its global network. Its business model focuses on delivering tailored financial and advisory services to a diverse client base, including local enterprises and international companies. The firm emphasizes quality, reliability, and compliance, which is evident in its comprehensive service portfolio and content quality. The website's content strategy includes blogs and articles that enhance client engagement and thought leadership. The absence of explicit phone numbers and physical addresses in the analyzed content suggests a focus on digital contact channels and possibly regional offices listed elsewhere. The partnership with BDO Global strengthens its market credibility and operational reach.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and includes multiple security headers, indicating a robust baseline security posture. Analytics implementations respect user privacy with IP anonymization and cookie consent mechanisms. However, the lack of a publicly accessible security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure process represents gaps in transparency and readiness communication. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The security score is high but could be improved by publishing dedicated security and incident response information and implementing a vulnerability disclosure policy.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and frameworks.
  2. Add clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and analytics tools to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using React framework and Kentico CMS, hosted on Microsoft Azure, leveraging modern web technologies and fonts from Google Fonts and CDNFonts. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Application Insights for analytics and monitoring, configured with privacy controls such as IP anonymization and consent management. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and preloading of critical assets. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in loading times. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph data, and canonical links. No technical debt or deprecated technologies were identified in the analyzed content.
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.
