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

De Bemanning is a small Belgian creative agency specializing in design, web development, branding, and multimedia services. The company presents a professional portfolio showcasing diverse projects such as web development, campaigns, illustration, and visual identity. Their market position is that of a niche creative service provider trusted by local clients and organizations. The website is well-designed, mobile-optimized, and provides clear navigation and contact information, enhancing user experience and trust. Technically, the website uses modern web technologies including ES modules, Typekit fonts, and a privacy-focused analytics service (Simple Analytics). The site is served over HTTPS with no visible security vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, it lacks some security headers and does not provide a privacy or cookie policy, which are important for GDPR compliance. The WHOIS data is restricted by the .be registry, limiting transparency but is typical for privacy protection. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and minimal third-party scripts. The absence of privacy and cookie policies and security headers are notable gaps. Contact information is clearly provided, but no incident response or security policy details are published. Overall, the website is safe, professional, and trustworthy, with room for improvement in privacy compliance and security hardening. The overall risk is low given the nature of the business and website content. Strategic recommendations include adding privacy and cookie policies, implementing security headers, and publishing incident response contacts to enhance compliance and trust.

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

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

  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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

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

De Bemanning operates as a creative agency targeting businesses and organizations needing branding, web development, and multimedia services. Their competitive advantage lies in their craftsmanship and creativity, supported by a portfolio of diverse projects and trusted local clients. The business model is service-based, focusing on project delivery rather than product sales. Revenue streams likely come from client contracts for design and development projects. The target customer segment includes cultural institutions, local businesses, and non-profits. Growth indicators include a visible client list and active social media presence. The partnership ecosystem is limited but includes client collaborations. The company maintains a consistent brand image and professional online presence, supporting sustainable operations in a competitive creative market.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and no sensitive data is exposed in the HTML. The use of minimal third-party scripts reduces attack surface. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces defense-in-depth. No privacy or cookie policies are published, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. Incident response readiness is not evident, with no security contact or abuse channels provided. The security culture appears basic but adequate for a small creative agency. Recommendations include implementing security headers, publishing privacy and cookie policies, and establishing incident response contacts to improve security posture and regulatory compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Add a comprehensive privacy policy page to comply with GDPR and enhance user trust.
  2. Implement a cookie consent mechanism to inform users and obtain consent for tracking.
  3. Deploy security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Publish an incident response or security contact page to facilitate vulnerability reporting and incident management.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses modern web technologies including ES modules for JavaScript, Typekit for fonts, and a privacy-focused analytics service (Simple Analytics). The HTML is well-structured with proper meta tags for SEO and Open Graph for social sharing. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive images and accessible navigation. Performance is moderate with asynchronous script loading. No CMS or hosting provider is explicitly identified. The site lacks some security headers which could improve security posture. Overall, the technical implementation is solid with opportunities for security and privacy enhancements.
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.
