Security score

64/100

Risk levelMedium

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

BNV Systems is a specialized manufacturer of advanced thermal imaging and robotic thermal systems, primarily targeting military, security, and surveillance markets. Their flagship product line, SARMA, offers high-end thermal imaging and sighting capabilities with detailed technical specifications and integrated software solutions. The company operates from Latvia and has a domain age consistent with a mature business presence. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with Elementor, featuring embedded multimedia and Google Analytics for tracking. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled but lacks some important security headers and DNSSEC. Privacy compliance is weak due to the absence of privacy and cookie policies. Contact information is clearly provided, enhancing business credibility.

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

8 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 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

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

BNV Systems occupies a niche market in manufacturing high-end thermal imaging devices with a focus on surveillance and shooting applications. Their business model revolves around product manufacturing and direct sales, supported by software and mobile applications. The company targets professional users such as military and law enforcement. The website content and structured data reflect a consistent brand and product focus. No partnerships or subsidiaries are evident from the website. The company demonstrates good product transparency with downloadable manuals and detailed specs, but lacks visible certifications or compliance documentation.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS and Cloudflare DNS, providing a secure transport layer. However, the absence of DNSSEC and key security headers reduces the overall security posture. No incident response or security policy information is published, which could be a concern for business partners or customers. The website does not expose sensitive data or use vulnerable libraries visibly. Google Analytics is used for tracking, but privacy compliance is minimal. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be improved with better header implementation and documented policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  3. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy.
  4. Regularly update WordPress core and plugins to the latest versions to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider publishing a security policy and incident response contact information to build trust with customers and partners.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress 4.9.26 CMS platform using Elementor and Elementor Pro page builders, with jQuery 1.12.4 and embedded YouTube videos. Google Fonts and Google Analytics are integrated for design and analytics respectively. Hosting is supported by Cloudflare DNS and nameservers, but DNSSEC is not enabled. The website performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is supported by Yoast SEO plugin metadata and structured JSON-LD data. Technical debt is indicated by the use of an older WordPress version and jQuery. Modernization opportunities include updating the CMS and improving security headers.
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.
