Security score

76/100

Risk levelLow

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

Bentley Systems, Incorporated is a leading global infrastructure engineering software company offering a comprehensive portfolio of software solutions for design, construction, and operations of infrastructure projects. Their e-commerce platform, Virtuosity, provides Bentley software subscriptions bundled with customizable expert training and support, targeting engineers, architects, constructors, and owner-operators. The company maintains a strong market position with a consistent brand presence and a large enterprise footprint. Technically, the website is built on the Magento Commerce platform with extensive use of JavaScript libraries and integrations including HubSpot, OneTrust, VWO, and New Relic. The site offers multi-language and multi-currency support, with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. However, the SSL configuration is currently invalid or missing, which poses a significant security risk. From a security perspective, the site implements SPF and DMARC for email protection and uses cookie consent mechanisms compliant with GDPR. Despite these strengths, the lack of a valid SSL certificate, absence of HSTS, and no evidence of a security policy or incident response plan indicate areas for urgent improvement. No explicit vulnerability disclosure or data protection officer contact information was found. Overall, while the business and technical infrastructure are robust and mature, the security posture requires immediate attention to protect user data and maintain trust. Strategic recommendations include securing the site with valid SSL/TLS, enhancing security headers, and formalizing security and incident response policies.

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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 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';…

  2. 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

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

Bentley Systems operates in the technology sector, focusing on infrastructure engineering software. Their business model revolves around software subscriptions and expert training services sold via an e-commerce platform. The company targets professional users in engineering, construction, and infrastructure management sectors globally. Their market position is strong, supported by a large enterprise size and a reputable brand. The presence of subsidiaries like Seequent expands their product and service offerings. The website content is well-aligned with their business focus, providing clear navigation to software categories, training, and company information. Partnerships with major platforms like HubSpot and Adobe indicate a mature digital marketing strategy.

Security posture

The current security maturity level of the website is moderate but with critical gaps. The presence of SPF and DMARC records shows attention to email security. The use of cookie consent tools and privacy policies indicates compliance with privacy regulations like GDPR. However, the absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of modern TLS protocols severely undermine the security posture. No explicit security policy or incident response information is publicly available, which may impact user trust and compliance with standards like ISO 27001 or NIST. The site does not have a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy, limiting transparency. Overall, the security culture appears to be in early to mid stages of maturity with room for significant improvement.

Recommendations

  1. Install and maintain a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable secure HTTPS connections.
  2. Enable and enforce modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 or 1.3) and disable deprecated protocols.
  3. Implement HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload options.
  4. Publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response plan accessible to users.
  5. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program and publish a security.txt file.
  6. Enhance cookie and privacy management to ensure full GDPR and other privacy regulation compliance.
  7. Regularly audit and update third-party integrations to minimize security risks.
  8. Improve transparency by providing clear contact information for security and data protection inquiries.
  9. Optimize website performance and accessibility to enhance user trust and experience.
  10. Develop a long-term security strategy aligned with industry standards and best practices.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Magento Commerce, leveraging RequireJS and jQuery for frontend functionality. It integrates multiple third-party services including HubSpot for marketing and analytics, OneTrust for cookie consent management, Visual Website Optimizer for A/B testing, Adobe Experience Platform, and New Relic for performance monitoring. The hosting appears to be via Fastly CDN with Azure DNS. Performance metrics indicate moderate load times and a large number of resources. Mobile optimization and accessibility are rated good, with proper use of ARIA roles and language attributes. SEO is supported by meta tags and alternate language links. However, the SSL configuration is invalid, and no modern TLS protocols are enabled, which is a critical technical risk. The site uses extensive JavaScript bundles which may impact initial load performance.
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.
