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

Bright Blue Day (BBD) is a creative performance agency specializing in delivering high-impact marketing campaigns and content for Finance, SaaS, and Tech Security brands globally. Established in 2013, BBD has positioned itself as a trusted partner to major global clients such as Visa, Quintet Investment Bank, and HPE Aruba. Their service offerings include creative content, strategy and performance marketing, and platform/web development, leveraging AI-driven frameworks to accelerate personalized content delivery and lead generation. Technically, the website is built on modern web technologies including React and Next.js, hosted on AWS infrastructure, and optimized for performance and mobile responsiveness. The site employs multiple analytics and tracking tools, including Google Analytics, TikTok Pixel, and Microsoft Clarity, indicating a mature digital marketing infrastructure. Privacy and cookie policies are comprehensive and include consent mechanisms, reflecting good privacy compliance practices. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and domain registration includes protective status flags. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and security headers could be improved. There is no explicit security policy or incident response information published, which could be a gap for enterprise clients. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Overall, BBD presents a professional, trustworthy, and technically sound online presence with strong business credibility. Strategic improvements in security policy transparency and DNS security would further enhance their 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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  2. 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.

  3. 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

  4. 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"

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

BBD operates in the competitive marketing agency sector with a focus on Finance, SaaS, and Tech Security industries. Their competitive advantage lies in combining creativity with AI-driven precision marketing to deliver measurable growth outcomes. The business model centers on service contracts with large enterprise clients, supported by a portfolio of high-profile case studies and awards. Their target customers are decision-makers in regulated and technology-driven sectors seeking to enhance brand authority and lead generation. The company demonstrates growth through client retention and expansion into global markets. Partnerships with major brands and presence in industry awards reinforce their market position and credibility.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and domain registration protections in place. The absence of DNSSEC and some recommended security headers represents moderate risk but no critical vulnerabilities were found. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contacts may reduce trust for security-conscious clients. Extensive use of third-party tracking scripts increases the attack surface and requires vigilant monitoring. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved by adopting additional DNS and HTTP security best practices and publishing formal security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve DNS security.
  2. Implement and verify HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Review and minimize third-party tracking scripts to reduce privacy risks and improve site performance.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to enhance transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Next.js and React, indicating a modern and scalable front-end architecture. Hosting on AWS with multiple AWS DNS nameservers suggests reliable infrastructure. The site is optimized for fast loading and mobile responsiveness, with preloading of key assets and asynchronous loading of scripts. SEO is supported by comprehensive meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). The CMS appears to be Strapi or a similar headless CMS, enabling flexible content management. No technical debt or deprecated libraries were detected. Opportunities exist to enhance security headers and reduce reliance on multiple third-party tracking services.
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.
