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

BVA People Consulting is a French consulting firm specializing in workplace studies, diagnostics, and change management, leveraging behavioral sciences to support organizations in adapting to evolving work environments. The company positions itself as a specialist in employee engagement, diversity, and inclusion initiatives, targeting organizations seeking to understand and improve their workforce dynamics. The website is professionally designed using WordPress and Elementor, with good SEO practices and moderate performance. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enabled and no obvious vulnerabilities, but lacks comprehensive security headers and published security policies. Privacy compliance is weak due to absence of privacy and cookie policies, and no explicit GDPR compliance indicators. The domain WHOIS data is missing or unavailable, which raises concerns about domain legitimacy despite the professional web presence. Overall, the website is functional and informative but would benefit from improved transparency and security practices.

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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: PostgreSQL

      Port 5432 (PostgreSQL) is publicly accessible - PostgreSQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to PostgreSQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  2. 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 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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

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 · found on this site
  • 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

The company operates in the consulting sector with a focus on workplace evolution and employee engagement. Its business model includes research studies, diagnostics, and consulting services aimed at organizations in France. The firm publishes articles and case studies demonstrating expertise and thought leadership. The target audience includes HR professionals, organizational leaders, and companies facing workforce challenges. The company appears small in size and relatively new, founded around 2023. There is no indication of parent or subsidiary companies. The website content and branding are consistent and professional, supporting a moderate level of business credibility.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, which is a strong security baseline. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others that enhance protection against common web attacks. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy is published, limiting transparency and incident response readiness. No contact information for security incidents or data protection officers is provided. The use of Matomo analytics indicates some level of privacy-conscious tracking, but absence of cookie consent mechanisms and privacy policies is a compliance gap. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved with better headers, policies, and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance details and implement a cookie consent mechanism.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance web security.
  3. Create and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and incident reporting.
  4. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for general inquiries and security incidents.
  5. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure transparency and trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using Elementor page builder and Yoast SEO plugin, indicating a modern and flexible technical infrastructure. It uses jQuery and Matomo analytics for interactivity and tracking. The site is mobile optimized with good navigation and SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate with combined CSS assets and lazy loading images. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional web presence but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and security configurations.
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.
