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. 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

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

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

BETC holds a strong market position as a creative agency within the media sector, targeting brands seeking innovative advertising solutions. Their business model revolves around delivering creative content and campaigns, supported by a portfolio that includes collaborations with major brands such as Santander, TIM, Citroën, and others. The agency leverages partnerships and social initiatives to enhance brand value and social impact. Growth indicators include active campaign launches and social media engagement. The parent company, Havas Group, provides global reach and resources, reinforcing BETC's competitive advantage in the Brazilian and Latin American markets.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS enforced and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the absence of HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) and Content Security Policy (CSP) headers indicates room for enhancement to mitigate risks such as protocol downgrade attacks and cross-site scripting. The use of third-party scripts from Squarespace and other providers is standard but requires ongoing monitoring for vulnerabilities. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available, which could be improved to demonstrate security maturity and readiness. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could benefit from implementing best practices and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) to enhance HTTPS security.
  2. Add a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve compliance and user trust.
  3. Deploy Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to reduce the risk of cross-site scripting attacks.
  4. Introduce a clear cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  5. Publish security policies and incident response contacts to demonstrate security governance and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on Squarespace, a reliable and widely used CMS platform, ensuring stable hosting and CDN delivery. The tech stack includes YUI, jQuery, and Typekit fonts, which are somewhat dated but still functional. Performance is moderate, with some optimization potential in script loading and caching. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design elements, though accessibility features appear basic and could be enhanced. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data, improving social sharing and search visibility. Technical risks include reliance on third-party scripts and lack of advanced security headers, which should be addressed to maintain operational integrity and user trust.
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.
