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

SMK operates as a certification authority specializing in sustainable terrain management through its Barometer Duurzaam Terreinbeheer certification scheme. The website targets companies, organizations, and government bodies in the Netherlands seeking to demonstrate responsible and sustainable management of public and private outdoor spaces. SMK positions itself as a niche player with a focus on environmental sustainability certifications, leveraging ISO/IEC 17065 standards and independent certification bodies to ensure credibility. The digital infrastructure is built on WordPress with integration of Google Tag Manager and Google Maps API, providing a modern and responsive user experience. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, though improvements can be made by implementing security headers and a vulnerability disclosure policy. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but lacking cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and well-aligned with its business objectives.

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

8 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  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"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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';…

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

SMK's market positioning is that of a specialized certification body in the sustainability sector, focusing on terrain management. Its competitive advantage lies in its adherence to recognized standards and collaboration with independent certification institutions like SGS. The business model revolves around certification fees and annual contributions, targeting a defined audience of terrain managers and related stakeholders. The website content and structure support clear communication of certification benefits and requirements, aiding customer acquisition and retention. Partnerships with certification bodies and clear branding reinforce market credibility. Growth potential exists in expanding certification adoption and enhancing digital engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS and no exposed sensitive data. Use of Google Tag Manager allows controlled script management, reducing risk of malicious injections. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents a gap that could be exploited in certain attack scenarios. Lack of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file limits transparency and incident response readiness. No signs of malware or phishing were detected. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by adopting additional best practices and formalizing incident response channels.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to harden the website against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting and improve security posture.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerable components are included.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct periodic security training for staff to foster a security-aware culture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress, leveraging modern web technologies such as jQuery, FontAwesome, Google Fonts, and Google Maps API. The integration of Google Tag Manager indicates a controlled approach to analytics and marketing scripts. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, especially in map loading and script management. The site is mobile responsive with good navigation clarity and SEO optimization. No major technical debt or outdated components were detected. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and implement advanced security headers. Hosting provider details were not explicitly identified from the content.
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.
