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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

  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.

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

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

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

bpost operates in the transportation sector with a large organizational size. Its business model revolves around postal and parcel logistics, enhanced by digital customer engagement platforms. The company leverages partnerships and subsidiaries, including bpostgroup.com as its parent entity. The website demonstrates consistent branding and professional content aimed at both residential and business segments. The presence of multiple language options and extensive service navigation indicates a broad target audience. Marketing and analytics tools are used responsibly with transparent cookie policies. The company shows growth potential through digital transformation and sustainability initiatives highlighted on the site.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security posture with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent banners, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. Security headers are implied but not explicitly confirmed in the HTML content. There is no public security policy or incident response contact information, which is a gap in transparency. No vulnerabilities or malware indicators were detected. The use of Google Tag Manager and OneTrust for cookie management reflects adherence to privacy regulations. Recommendations include publishing a formal security policy, incident response procedures, and a vulnerability disclosure program to enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page detailing security frameworks and practices.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and verify security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options explicitly.
  4. Introduce a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal CMS using Bootstrap 4.4.1 and jQuery 3.5.1, ensuring a responsive and modern user interface. It integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics and AddToAny for social sharing, alongside OneTrust for cookie consent management and Usabilla for user feedback. The site loads external fonts and scripts efficiently and supports multiple languages. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. Accessibility features are present, and SEO meta tags are well implemented. The technical stack is robust but could benefit from enhanced security header implementation and performance tuning.
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.
