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

Bet.hu is a well-established Hungarian financial market information portal, providing comprehensive data on equities, bonds, indices, and related financial instruments primarily for the Budapest Stock Exchange. The site targets investors, financial professionals, and market analysts interested in Hungarian market data. The business model centers on delivering market data, news, and downloadable resources to its audience. Technically, the website employs modern JavaScript frameworks such as Aurelia and React, alongside libraries like jQuery and Chart.js, indicating a mature and contemporary technical infrastructure. The site is served over HTTPS with CSRF protection and uses Google reCAPTCHA to mitigate automated abuse. However, explicit privacy, cookie, and security policies are not present in the analyzed content, which impacts compliance and user trust. Tracking technologies like Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel are used without visible consent mechanisms, suggesting room for improvement in privacy compliance. Overall, the website is functional, professional, and secure but would benefit from enhanced transparency and compliance documentation.

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

Bet.hu holds a significant position as a financial data provider in Hungary, focusing on market data dissemination for the Budapest Stock Exchange and related financial products. Its competitive advantage lies in localized, detailed market data and tools tailored for Hungarian investors and professionals. The business model likely includes data services, market insights, and event registrations. The target customers are institutional and retail investors, financial analysts, and market participants in Hungary. The presence of event registration and form portals suggests engagement with the financial community. The company appears medium-sized with a long operational history since 1998, reinforcing its market credibility. Partnerships or related domains are not explicitly identified in the content provided.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with HTTPS enforcement, CSRF token implementation, and use of Google reCAPTCHA for form security. Security headers are partially detected but not fully confirmed, indicating potential areas for enhancement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the HTML content. However, the absence of visible security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms limits transparency and preparedness perception. The use of third-party tracking scripts introduces privacy considerations that are not fully addressed by visible consent mechanisms. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved by publishing explicit security and privacy documentation and enhancing header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Implement a visible cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations.
  3. Add explicit security policy and incident response information, including contact channels for security issues.
  4. Ensure all recommended security headers (HSTS, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) are properly configured and documented.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and tracking scripts to minimize vulnerabilities and privacy risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and diverse technology stack including Aurelia and React frameworks, jQuery, Chart.js, and various UI libraries like Select2 and Fancybox. It employs asynchronous script loading and polyfills for compatibility, indicating attention to performance and browser support. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design elements and uses structured module loading via SystemJS. However, no common CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary content management solution. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in loading times and accessibility features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data, but structured data (JSON-LD) for organization or business was not found. Overall, the technical infrastructure is robust but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and performance tuning.
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.
