High risk. 9 critical or high findings in GDPR outside view, SSL/TLS and 1 other check.

Security score

43/100

Risk levelHigh

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

The website at bsm.sm currently functions as a security gateway page implementing a CAPTCHA challenge to prevent automated or malicious access. It is not a traditional business website but a protective layer powered by BitNinja technology. The site uses outdated CMS platforms (Joomla 1.5 and WordPress 2.5) and lacks a valid SSL certificate, serving content over HTTP only. Google reCAPTCHA and Google Analytics are integrated for bot mitigation and visitor tracking. The absence of privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies, as well as contact information, limits the site's compliance and business credibility. DNS configuration lacks modern security features such as DNSSEC and CAA records. Overall, the site is slow to load and provides minimal content focused solely on CAPTCHA validation.

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

9 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

  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 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';…

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

This domain appears to be used primarily for security filtering rather than commercial business operations. The use of BitNinja's greylist and CAPTCHA indicates a focus on mitigating cyber threats and automated abuse. There is no evidence of a commercial business model, customer engagement, or service offerings. The target audience is limited to visitors whose IP addresses have been flagged for security reasons. The lack of business contact details and policies suggests this is a technical security control point rather than a customer-facing business site.

Security posture

The security posture is weak due to the absence of HTTPS and a valid SSL certificate, lack of security headers, and missing DNS security features. The site relies on BitNinja's CAPTCHA challenge to block suspicious traffic but does not implement other best practices such as HSTS or OCSP stapling. The use of outdated CMS versions increases the risk of vulnerabilities. No incident response or security policy information is provided. Overall, the site provides basic bot mitigation but lacks comprehensive security hardening.

Recommendations

  1. Install and configure a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS and improve security posture.
  2. Update CMS platforms to supported, secure versions to reduce vulnerability exposure.
  3. Implement security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) and enable HSTS.
  4. Publish privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms to improve compliance.
  5. Provide clear contact information and incident response channels to enhance trust and transparency.
Technical notes

Notes

The website uses legacy CMS platforms (Joomla 1.5 and WordPress 2.5) which are no longer supported and pose security risks. The page is served over HTTP without a valid SSL certificate, exposing users to potential interception. Performance is slow with a large page size (~1.8MB) and long load time (~12.5 seconds). The site integrates Google reCAPTCHA and Google Analytics scripts for security and tracking. DNS records lack DNSSEC and CAA, reducing domain security. The site is hosted on IP 86.107.36.73 with nameservers dns.omniway.sm and dns.intelcom.sm, but hosting provider details are unclear. Overall, the technical implementation is outdated and requires modernization to meet current standards.
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.
