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

Boogolinks.nl is a Dutch-language start page website that provides a curated and categorized collection of links to various websites across many sectors. Established in 1999, it serves as a niche local directory aimed at Dutch-speaking users seeking an organized gateway to popular and relevant websites. The business model revolves around link curation, user submissions, and advertising. The website is hosted by team.blue nl B.V., a reputable registrar and hosting provider. Technically, the site uses older technologies such as jQuery 2.1.4 and Font Awesome 4.5.0, with a basic but functional responsive design. However, the site lacks modern security headers, DNSSEC, and explicit HTTPS enforcement indications, which lowers its security posture. Privacy compliance is weak, with no privacy or cookie policies found, posing GDPR compliance risks. Contact information is limited to a contact form, with no direct emails or phone numbers provided. Overall, the site is functional and moderately trustworthy but requires improvements in security and privacy compliance to enhance user trust and regulatory adherence.

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

10 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

  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

The website operates as a small-scale link directory/start page targeting Dutch internet users. Its long domain age suggests stability and a consistent presence in the market. The broad range of categories and links indicates an attempt to cover diverse user interests. The lack of direct company information and contact details limits transparency. The business likely generates revenue through advertising and possibly link submissions. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries. The site’s niche positioning as a start page is a competitive advantage in the local market but may face challenges from larger search engines and directories.

Security posture

The security posture is basic and could be improved. The absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options increases risk exposure. No evidence of HTTPS enforcement was found in the HTML content, which is a critical security gap. No incident response or security contact information is provided. The site does not display any certifications or security frameworks. These gaps could expose users to risks such as man-in-the-middle attacks or clickjacking. The lack of privacy and cookie policies also indicates non-compliance with GDPR, which could lead to regulatory penalties.

Recommendations

  1. Enable and enforce HTTPS site-wide to secure user connections.
  2. Implement DNSSEC to protect domain name resolution integrity.
  3. Add standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to mitigate common web attacks.
  4. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and inform users.
  5. Provide clear contact information including security incident contacts to improve trust and incident response readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses legacy JavaScript libraries like jQuery 2.1.4 and Font Awesome 4.5.0, which may have known vulnerabilities if not updated. The HTML structure is valid but basic, with CSS media queries for responsive design. No modern frameworks or CMS platforms are detected. Hosting is provided by team.blue nl B.V., a known registrar and hosting provider. Performance is moderate with no explicit optimization techniques observed. SEO is basic with meta description and title tags present but no Open Graph or structured data found. Accessibility features are minimal. The site could benefit from modernization and technical enhancements to improve performance, security, and user 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.
