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

Bithopper is a small Dutch IT company specializing in custom software development, including embedded systems, mobile and desktop app development, web applications, e-commerce solutions, and UX/web design. Founded in 2017, it targets small and medium-sized businesses (MKB) in the Netherlands, emphasizing personal service, flexibility, and goal-oriented development. The company presents a professional and consistent brand image with clear contact information and a LinkedIn presence. Technically, the website is built using the Hugo static site generator with Bootstrap and modern web technologies. It is hosted behind Cloudflare, leveraging DNS and WAF services, and employs Cloudflare Turnstile CAPTCHA on its contact form to prevent spam. The site is mobile-optimized, fast-loading, and accessible, with good SEO practices. However, it lacks some security headers and a cookie consent mechanism, which are recommended for GDPR compliance. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with a good SSL configuration and benefits from Cloudflare's protection. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The WHOIS data is transparent and consistent with the business claims, enhancing trustworthiness. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact is a minor gap. Overall, Bithopper's website is professional, secure, and credible, with minor improvements needed in privacy compliance and security best practices. The risk level is low, but implementing recommended enhancements would strengthen trust and regulatory adherence.

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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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 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

Bithopper operates in the niche market of custom software development for SMEs in the Netherlands, offering a broad range of IT services from embedded software to webshops and UX design. Its competitive advantage lies in personalized service, flexibility, and a clear development process from idea to prototype to production. The business model is B2B service-oriented, relying on direct client engagement and bespoke solutions. The company shows stable growth indicators with a consistent brand and a professional online presence. Partnerships appear limited to client projects, with no evident subsidiaries or parent companies. The company leverages LinkedIn for professional networking but lacks broader marketing or advertising tools. Revenue streams likely derive from project-based contracts and ongoing support services.

Security posture

The security posture of Bithopper's website is solid, with HTTPS enforced and Cloudflare providing DNS and WAF protection. The use of Cloudflare Turnstile CAPTCHA on the contact form mitigates spam and automated abuse. However, the absence of DNSSEC reduces DNS security, and missing security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represent areas for improvement. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is published, which could hinder transparency in case of security incidents. Data protection practices appear basic, with no cookie consent mechanism detected, potentially impacting GDPR compliance. Overall, the site demonstrates good security hygiene but would benefit from enhanced policies and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS integrity and security.
  2. Implement and display a comprehensive cookie policy with a consent mechanism to comply with GDPR.
  3. Add standard security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to strengthen browser security.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Regularly review and update privacy and security practices to maintain compliance and protect user data.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using the Hugo static site generator, ensuring fast and efficient delivery of content. It uses Bootstrap for responsive design and AOS for animations, providing a modern user experience. Google Fonts are used for typography, and Cloudflare services provide DNS, CDN, and security features including Turnstile CAPTCHA. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO metadata. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected, indicating minimal user tracking. The contact form securely posts data and uses CAPTCHA to prevent abuse. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern, performant, and well-maintained, with opportunities to enhance security headers and privacy compliance.
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.
