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

Bizzdesign Academy is a professional online training platform specializing in enterprise architecture and related software solutions such as Horizzon, Alfabet, and MEGA HOPEX. The platform offers a variety of free and paid eLearning courses, certifications, and role-based tutorials targeting enterprise users and professionals seeking to enhance their skills in Bizzdesign products. The website is built on the Moodle LMS platform with a modern tech stack including YUI, RequireJS, and jQuery, and integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools such as Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and LinkedIn Insight Tag. Security measures include HTTPS enforcement and Google reCAPTCHA v3 for bot protection, although explicit security headers and cookie consent mechanisms are not fully implemented.

Overall, the site demonstrates good technical maturity and business credibility with room for improvement in privacy compliance and security header implementation.

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

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  2. 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 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';…
  3. 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

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

Bizzdesign Academy occupies a niche market in enterprise architecture training, leveraging its parent company's software solutions to provide targeted educational content. Its business model combines free tutorials with paid eLearning courses and certification preparation, appealing to corporate clients and individual professionals. The presence of official contact information, physical address in the Netherlands, and active social media profiles enhances trust and market positioning. The platform's integration with multiple third-party marketing and analytics services indicates a mature digital marketing strategy. However, the absence of visible privacy and cookie consent features suggests potential compliance gaps. The missing WHOIS data is unusual and warrants further investigation to confirm domain ownership and legitimacy.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses Google reCAPTCHA v3 to mitigate automated abuse, reflecting a baseline security posture. Client-side form validation is implemented to improve data integrity. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents a missed opportunity to harden the site against common web attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by adopting additional HTTP security headers and publishing clear security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against web attacks.
  2. Add a visible cookie consent banner and detailed privacy policy page to improve GDPR and privacy compliance.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to increase transparency and readiness.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to minimize risks from external dependencies.
  5. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data to ensure domain registration legitimacy and reduce trust concerns.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Moodle LMS platform with a combination of YUI, RequireJS, and jQuery libraries, indicating a mature but somewhat legacy technology stack. The use of Google Fonts and multiple marketing and analytics scripts suggests a focus on user experience and data-driven marketing. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. The site uses HTTPS exclusively, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the absence of some modern security headers and cookie consent mechanisms indicates areas for technical improvement. The site structure is clear and navigation is user-friendly, supporting a positive user experience for its target audience.
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.
