ANBI.nl is a specialized Dutch non-profit service provider offering a publication portal to help ANBI organizations comply with legal publication requirements mandated by the Dutch Tax Authority. The website provides profile pages and internet addresses for ANBI entities to publish mandatory information such as contact details, policy plans, and financial data. The business operates on a subscription model and targets non-profit organizations, donors, and churches in the Netherlands. The domain has been active since 2006, supporting the business's legitimacy and market presence. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with common plugins such as Yoast SEO and Contact Form 7. It uses multiple JavaScript libraries including jQuery and integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for tracking. The site is moderately optimized for performance and SEO but has basic mobile responsiveness and accessibility features. Security practices include HTTPS and DNSSEC, but lack important security headers and cookie consent mechanisms, which are critical for GDPR compliance. The security posture is moderate with no critical vulnerabilities detected, but improvements are needed in security headers, cookie consent, and updating legacy libraries. Contact information is available primarily via email and contact forms, with no phone or physical address listed. Social media presence is established on Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but requires enhancements in privacy compliance and security best practices. Strategic recommendations include implementing security headers, adding cookie consent banners, updating legacy scripts, publishing security policies, and conducting regular security audits to improve compliance and trustworthiness.

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

  2. 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: PostgreSQL

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

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

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

  3. 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

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

ANBI.nl occupies a niche market focused on Dutch ANBI compliance, providing essential services for non-profit organizations to meet legal publication obligations. Its subscription-based model generates recurring revenue from ANBI entities seeking to maintain or obtain their tax-beneficial status. The company leverages partnerships with related service providers such as notaries and stichting services to enhance its ecosystem. The target customer segment includes churches, charities, and other non-profits in the Netherlands. The long domain age and consistent branding indicate stable operations. Growth potential exists in expanding digital services and improving compliance tools. The partnership ecosystem supports credibility and service breadth.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS and DNSSEC enabled, which are positive indicators. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. The use of an outdated jQuery version alongside a newer one may expose the site to known vulnerabilities. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, limiting transparency and preparedness. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, the security posture is functional but requires enhancements to meet modern standards and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  3. Remove or update legacy jQuery 1.10.2 to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments to proactively identify and remediate risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a mature WordPress platform with standard plugins for SEO, forms, and social sharing. It uses multiple versions of jQuery, which may indicate technical debt or legacy dependencies. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and use of CDN-hosted resources. Mobile optimization is basic but functional. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Accessibility features are minimal but present. Hosting provider details are not explicit. Overall, the technical infrastructure is stable but could benefit from modernization and consolidation of JavaScript libraries to reduce complexity and improve security.
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.
