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

BOC Group is a well-established technology company specializing in Business Process Management (BPM), Enterprise Architecture (EA), and Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) solutions. Their flagship products, ADONIS, ADOIT, and ADOGRC, serve a broad range of clients from small businesses to multinational corporations, with a strong emphasis on operational excellence, technology leverage, and business security. The company is recognized as a leader in its field, notably by Gartner, and maintains a global presence with a comprehensive suite of services including professional support and educational programs. Technically, the website is built on a modern WordPress platform utilizing various plugins and technologies such as Yoast SEO, Gravity Forms, and Google Tag Manager. The site is well-optimized for SEO, mobile responsiveness, and accessibility, providing a professional user experience. However, the absence of a valid SSL certificate is a significant security shortfall that undermines the overall security posture. From a security perspective, the site implements some best practices like HSTS headers but lacks a valid SSL certificate and other advanced security headers. There are no detected vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data, but the lack of HTTPS is a critical issue that needs immediate remediation to protect user data and maintain trust. Overall, BOC Group's website reflects a mature and credible business with strong market positioning and comprehensive content. The primary risk lies in the missing SSL certificate, which should be addressed promptly to enhance security and compliance. Strategic recommendations include upgrading the SSL configuration, enhancing security headers, and maintaining rigorous compliance with privacy regulations.

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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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';…

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

BOC Group holds a strong market position as a leader in BPM, EA, and GRC software solutions, supported by industry recognitions such as Gartner Magic Quadrant leadership and customer choice awards. Their business model revolves around software sales complemented by professional services, support, and educational programs, targeting a diverse customer base including enterprises and educational institutions. The company demonstrates a robust partnership ecosystem and a commitment to innovation, as evidenced by their R&D initiatives and AI integration. Their global reach and extensive client portfolio underscore their competitive advantage and growth potential.

Security posture

The current security posture of BOC Group's website is moderate but with critical gaps. The presence of HSTS indicates awareness of transport security, yet the lack of a valid SSL certificate severely compromises secure communications. No major vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected, and the site employs standard security practices such as form validation and anti-spam measures. However, the absence of DNSSEC, CAA records, and additional security headers like Content-Security-Policy limits the overall security maturity. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Enhance HTTP security headers by adding Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Implement DNSSEC and CAA records to strengthen domain security and certificate issuance control.
  4. Publish clear security policies and incident response procedures to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Regularly audit and update all plugins, libraries, and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with a modern tech stack including nginx web server, Yoast SEO for optimization, Gravity Forms for data collection, and Slider Revolution for interactive content. It uses Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking, and WP Rocket for performance optimization. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices implemented. However, performance metrics are not available, and the lack of a valid SSL certificate is a significant technical deficiency. The site uses multiple external resources from trusted CDNs and integrates with social media platforms for broader engagement.
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.
