Risk levelHigh

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

Beeld & Geluid is a prominent Dutch media archive and cultural institution serving a broad audience including individual visitors, media professionals, educators, and researchers. The website reflects a well-established organization with a clear focus on media heritage and education. The digital presence is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and uses modern web technologies such as Google Analytics and Tag Manager for user insights. However, explicit privacy and cookie policies are not detected in the provided content, which may impact compliance with GDPR requirements. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and some security best practices observed, but additional security headers and published policies would enhance trust and resilience. Overall, the domain registration aligns well with the organization's identity, supporting legitimacy 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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

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

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
  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';…
  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 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 · 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

The organization positions itself as a key media archive in the Netherlands, targeting a diverse audience from casual visitors to professionals and academics. Its business model centers on cultural preservation, education, and media access. The website content and structure support this model with relevant descriptions and services. The use of Google services for analytics indicates a moderate level of digital maturity. Absence of visible contact details and formal policies online suggests room for improvement in transparency and user engagement. No suspicious or unrelated domains are linked, indicating a focused and controlled digital ecosystem.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and includes some security-related meta tags, but lacks comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is publicly available, which could hinder coordinated security incident management. The absence of a security.txt file and formal published security policies reduces transparency. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by adopting industry best practices and publishing relevant policies.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Implement and enforce additional HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Create and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve security transparency.
  4. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security-related inquiries.
  5. Develop and publish incident response and security policies to enhance organizational security posture and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a CMS platform likely Drupal, using modern front-end technologies including JavaScript, CSS, and web fonts from Typekit. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking and marketing purposes. The site is mobile-optimized and uses responsive design techniques. Performance is moderate with preloading of key assets. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. There is no evidence of outdated or vulnerable libraries in the provided content. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and privacy compliance to reduce technical debt and enhance trust.
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.
