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

The BKMS System website represents a compliance and whistleblower management solution operated by EQS Group AG, a medium-sized technology company based in Germany with a mature domain presence since 2004. The website is currently under maintenance, providing bilingual messaging in English and German to its corporate clientele. The business model appears focused on B2B SaaS or compliance services, targeting compliance officers and corporate clients seeking secure reporting systems. Technically, the website is minimalistic with basic HTML and CSS, hosted under Deutsche Telekom AG infrastructure. Performance is moderate with minimal resources loaded. However, the site lacks modern security implementations such as HTTPS, valid SSL certificates, and security headers, which significantly impacts its security posture. DNS configurations are mostly sound with valid SPF and DMARC records, but DNSSEC is not enabled and CAA records are malformed. Security evaluation reveals critical vulnerabilities including absence of HTTPS, no HSTS, and missing security headers, exposing the site to potential interception and attacks. Privacy compliance is poor with no visible privacy or cookie policies, and no contact or incident response information is provided. The domain WHOIS data is consistent and trustworthy, but the lack of domain protection locks is a minor concern. Overall, the website presents a moderate risk profile primarily due to missing HTTPS and privacy compliance gaps. Strategic improvements in SSL deployment, security headers, and privacy transparency are recommended to enhance trust and security posture.

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. 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

EQS Group AG operates BKMS System as a compliance technology provider with a focus on whistleblower management solutions. The company holds a mature domain and targets corporate clients primarily in Germany and Europe. The business model is likely subscription-based SaaS or service licensing. The website's bilingual content supports a European market focus. The lack of visible marketing or analytics tools suggests a controlled and privacy-conscious approach. The company benefits from a stable registrar and hosting provider relationship with Deutsche Telekom AG. No evident partnerships or subsidiaries are linked via the website. The business maintains a consistent brand presence but currently lacks public-facing contact or policy transparency on the landing page.

Security posture

The security posture of the BKMS System website is weak due to the absence of HTTPS and valid SSL certificates, which is a critical vulnerability. The lack of security headers and DNSSEC further reduces the security hardening of the domain. Email security is enhanced by valid SPF and DMARC records with a reject policy, reducing phishing risks. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is publicly available, indicating limited transparency. The domain's WHOIS data is consistent and mature, supporting legitimacy. Overall, the site requires urgent improvements in transport layer security and privacy compliance to meet modern standards and regulatory requirements such as GDPR and NIS2.

Recommendations

  1. Deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate and enforce HTTPS across the entire website.
  2. Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload flags.
  3. Correct and configure CAA DNS records properly to restrict certificate authorities.
  4. Implement DNSSEC to protect DNS integrity and prevent spoofing.
  5. Add essential security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  6. Publish clear privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance statements.
  7. Provide visible contact information including security incident response contacts.
  8. Consider implementing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  9. Enable domain protection locks to prevent unauthorized domain transfers.
  10. Improve website content with richer information and navigation to enhance user experience.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with basic HTML and CSS without detectable modern frameworks or CMS. Hosting is managed via Deutsche Telekom AG with domain registration through the same provider. Performance is moderate with a load time of approximately 3.3 seconds and minimal resource count. The site lacks mobile optimization and accessibility features beyond basic viewport settings. No analytics or tracking scripts are present, indicating minimal data collection. The absence of HTTPS and security headers represents significant technical debt and security risk. DNS configurations are mostly correct with valid SPF and DMARC but missing DNSSEC and malformed CAA records. Overall, the technical infrastructure is functional but outdated and insecure, requiring modernization and security enhancements.
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.
