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

BOC Group is a recognized technology company specializing in Business Process Management (BPM), Enterprise Architecture (EA), and Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) software solutions. The company holds a strong market position as a Gartner Customers' Choice 2021 vendor and offers a suite of products including ADONIS, ADOIT, and ADOGRC. Their target audience primarily consists of businesses seeking to optimize operational excellence, leverage technology, and secure their business processes. The business model revolves around software licensing, professional services, and training programs, supported by a network of partners and academic collaborations. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Avada theme, enhanced with modern JavaScript libraries and SEO tools such as Yoast SEO and Google Tag Manager. The site demonstrates good performance, mobile optimization, and accessibility standards. Cookie consent mechanisms and privacy policies indicate a mature approach to privacy compliance. From a security perspective, the website enforces HTTPS, implements key security headers, and avoids exposing sensitive data. However, it lacks publicly available security policies, incident response details, and vulnerability disclosure information, which are areas for improvement. The absence of WHOIS registration data raises minor concerns about domain registration transparency but does not detract significantly from the overall legitimacy given the professional presentation and external trust signals. Overall, BOC Group's digital presence reflects a professional and trustworthy enterprise with solid technical infrastructure and compliance posture. Strategic enhancements in security transparency and domain registration clarity would further strengthen their risk profile and stakeholder confidence.

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

4 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 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

  3. 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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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 operates in the enterprise software sector with a focus on BPM, EA, and GRC solutions. Their competitive advantage lies in recognized product quality, Gartner endorsement, and comprehensive service offerings including professional services and training. Revenue streams likely include software licenses, subscriptions, consulting, and education packages. The company targets medium to large enterprises across various industries requiring process optimization and governance. Growth indicators include active partner programs and academic collaborations. The partnership ecosystem supports regional market penetration and customer support. Strategic observations suggest a well-established brand with opportunities to enhance security communication and domain transparency.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, modern security headers, and cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR requirements. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response plan, and vulnerability disclosure program indicates gaps in security transparency and readiness communication. There is no evidence of a dedicated data protection officer contact. These gaps could impact customer trust and compliance audits. The domain WHOIS data is missing, which may raise questions about registration legitimacy. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved by publishing comprehensive security and incident response documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a detailed security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and customer trust.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  3. Provide clear contact information for a Data Protection Officer or privacy contact to enhance GDPR compliance visibility.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Clarify domain registration details or ensure WHOIS data is publicly accessible to strengthen domain legitimacy and trust.

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.
