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

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  2. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Bing operates as a core Microsoft service positioned as a major competitor in the search engine market. Its business model is primarily advertising-supported, supplemented by AI-driven features such as Copilot chat. The integration with Microsoft 365 and other Microsoft services creates a strong ecosystem advantage. The target audience is broad, encompassing general internet users worldwide. The website's extensive linking to Microsoft properties and services indicates a well-established partnership ecosystem. Growth indicators include continuous feature enhancements and AI integration. Strategic observations highlight Bing's role in Microsoft's broader cloud and AI strategy.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, likely presence of standard security headers, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. Secure form practices are observed, and no vulnerable or outdated libraries were detected in the scripts. However, explicit security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not publicly visible on the homepage. Compliance with GDPR is indicated through privacy and cookie policies. The absence of direct contact channels for security incidents suggests reliance on Microsoft's broader corporate security infrastructure. Overall, the security maturity is high but could benefit from more transparent incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency.
  2. Provide explicit vulnerability disclosure and security.txt files to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance visibility of data protection officer contact information to strengthen GDPR compliance.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate supply chain risks.
  5. Continue improving accessibility and mobile optimization to maintain high user experience standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including JavaScript frameworks (Preact), IndexedDB for caching, and service workers for performance optimization. The design is responsive and accessible, with SVG icons and semantic HTML elements. Performance is optimized with asynchronous script loading and CSS prefetching. The site integrates multiple Microsoft services via external links and APIs. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting details are not explicit but likely Microsoft Azure or equivalent. Technical risks are minimal, with good practices observed in form handling and content 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.
