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

BDP is a large, internationally recognized multidisciplinary design practice specializing in architecture, engineering, urban planning, and design services. The company positions itself as a leader in creating sustainable and innovative environments, targeting clients in real estate, media, education, and other sectors. The website reflects a mature digital presence with professional branding, multimedia content, and comprehensive project showcases. Technically, the site is built on modern frameworks such as Nuxt.js and Tailwind CSS, with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforcement and standard security headers, although explicit security policies and incident response information are not publicly available. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear cookie consent and privacy policies. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain trust assessment, but the overall professional presentation supports legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include publishing security and vulnerability disclosure policies and enhancing contact transparency for data protection officers.

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

6 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 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: LinkedIn, YouTube

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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

BDP operates in a competitive global market for architectural and design services, leveraging a multidisciplinary approach to differentiate itself. Its business model focuses on delivering integrated design solutions across multiple sectors, including workplace, housing, media environments, and urban regeneration. The company maintains a strong brand presence with active social media channels and a well-structured website that supports client engagement and recruitment. Growth indicators include recent project announcements and thought leadership content. Partnerships with creative agencies and digital platforms are evident. The company targets institutional clients, developers, and public sector entities, emphasizing sustainability and innovation as competitive advantages.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS, security headers, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. No signs of malware or phishing were detected. Compliance with GDPR is indicated by cookie consent and privacy policies. The absence of a security.txt file or dedicated security contact may hinder rapid incident reporting and response. Overall, the security maturity is moderate to high but could benefit from enhanced documentation and communication of security practices.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and preparedness.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Include contact information for a Data Protection Officer or security team to facilitate compliance and communication.
  4. Regularly audit and update privacy and cookie policies to maintain GDPR and other regulatory compliance.
  5. Enhance website analytics transparency and consider adding performance optimizations to improve loading speed.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Nuxt.js, a modern Vue.js framework, combined with Tailwind CSS for styling, indicating a contemporary and maintainable tech stack. Multimedia content such as videos is embedded efficiently with preload and muted attributes for user experience. The site uses Payload CMS for content management, supporting dynamic content delivery. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Accessibility features like skip links and ARIA labels are present. Performance is moderate, with some large media files that may impact load times. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Hosting provider details are not explicit but likely use a CDN or cloud hosting given the use of modern frameworks and media delivery.
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.
