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

The website www.publicplatforms.com is a professionally designed platform offering an exclusive report benchmarking customer experience (CX) in top global e-government platforms. Developed and powered by Flying Bisons, a reputable digital consultancy, the site targets C-level executives and project teams in government sectors aiming to improve citizen-centric digital services. The business model revolves around consultancy and research report sales, positioning itself as a specialized provider in the government and technology sectors. Technically, the site leverages modern technologies including Webflow CMS, Google Tag Manager, HubSpot forms, PostHog analytics, and comprehensive cookie consent management, ensuring a fast, mobile-optimized, and accessible user experience. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and reCAPTCHA Enterprise protecting forms, though explicit security headers and incident response information are absent. Privacy compliance is strong with GDPR, CCPA, and LGPD considerations evident. However, the WHOIS data is missing, which is unusual and reduces domain trustworthiness, though the professional content and partner association mitigate concerns. Overall, the site is credible, secure, and well-positioned to serve its niche audience.

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

3 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.

    • 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

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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.

    • 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

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

Flying Bisons operates as a digital consultancy specializing in government digital transformation and CX benchmarking. The partnership with publicplatforms.com enhances its market presence by providing unique insights into e-government platforms worldwide. The business leverages detailed UX research, user interviews, and platform mapping to deliver strategic insights and actionable guidelines. The presence of notable clients like IKEA, Zain, and KFC indicates a strong client base and market credibility. The website's focus on benchmarking, best practices, and future trends positions it competitively in the government digital services sector. The lack of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a controlled lead generation approach via forms. The partnership ecosystem and detailed methodology add to the company's competitive advantage and growth potential.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and Google reCAPTCHA Enterprise integrated to protect form submissions. Cookie consent mechanisms comply with major privacy regulations, indicating attention to data protection. However, the absence of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options is a gap that could be addressed to enhance security. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of published security policies or incident response contacts limits transparency in security governance. Overall, the site is secure for users but could improve in formalizing and communicating its security practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify HTTP security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to strengthen protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve security posture.
  4. Add direct company contact emails and phone numbers to enhance business credibility and user trust.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to avoid potential vulnerabilities.

Notes

The website is built on the Webflow CMS platform, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries such as GSAP for animations, jQuery for DOM manipulation, and PostHog for analytics. Google Tag Manager is used for tag management, and HubSpot forms handle lead capture with integrated Google reCAPTCHA Enterprise for bot protection. Cookie consent is managed via Iubenda, ensuring compliance with GDPR, CCPA, and LGPD. The site is hosted on Webflow's infrastructure, providing fast loading times and excellent mobile optimization. Accessibility features like focus-visible outlines and semantic HTML are present, contributing to a good user experience. The technical implementation is modern and robust, supporting the business goals effectively.
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.
