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

Dutch Digital Agencies is a well-established industry association representing 157 leading digital agencies in the Netherlands. The organization focuses on uniting and representing the digital industry through events, publications, and job vacancy listings. Their market position is strong within the Dutch digital sector, serving as a central hub for agencies and professionals. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear calls to action for membership and engagement. Technically, the website is built using modern technologies including the Astro framework and DatoCMS for content management, hosted with Cloudflare DNS services. The site is performant, mobile-optimized, and accessible, with integration of privacy-respecting analytics via Plausible. However, there is room for improvement in privacy compliance, particularly regarding cookie consent mechanisms. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and has domain transfer protections in place. However, it lacks DNSSEC, security headers, and published security policies or incident response contacts. No vulnerabilities or suspicious content were detected, indicating a generally secure posture but with opportunities to enhance defenses and transparency. Overall, the website is trustworthy, professional, and well-maintained, with minor gaps in privacy and security best practices. Strategic improvements in these areas would further strengthen their digital maturity and compliance posture.

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

5 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

  3. 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Dutch Digital Agencies operates as an important entity within the Dutch technology sector, specifically focusing on digital agencies. Their business model centers on industry representation, networking, and knowledge sharing. Revenue streams likely include membership fees, event sponsorships, and partnerships. The target customers are digital agencies and professionals in the Netherlands. The organization demonstrates growth through active event scheduling, publications, and a large number of job vacancies. Their partnership ecosystem includes multiple agencies hosting job listings and event registrations, indicating a collaborative network. The company has a mature domain and consistent branding, reinforcing its market presence and credibility.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate to good. The website uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and has domain transfer protections. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security reduces the overall security posture. There is no publicly available security policy or incident response contact information, which limits transparency and preparedness. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The site uses secure forms for newsletter subscription and external job application links. Compliance with GDPR is partially indicated by the presence of a privacy policy but lacks cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, the security culture appears professional but could benefit from enhanced policies and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to ensure full GDPR compliance.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are included.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Astro framework, leveraging DatoCMS for content management and Cloudflare for DNS hosting. It uses modern web standards with responsive design and accessibility features. Performance is optimized with preloading fonts and images, and the use of Plausible Analytics ensures privacy-conscious tracking. The site structure is clear with semantic HTML and well-organized navigation. There is no evidence of technical debt or deprecated technologies. Opportunities exist to enhance security headers and implement DNSSEC. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a fast, secure, and user-friendly experience.
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.
