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

2 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 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. 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

BVKZ occupies a niche market position as a sector-specific membership association in healthcare, targeting small-scale care providers. Its business model revolves around membership fees and providing value-added services such as knowledge platforms, legal and financial guidance, and starter support. The association leverages digital tools to maintain member engagement and disseminate information effectively. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the homepage suggests a controlled communication channel, likely to manage inquiries efficiently. The domain age and registration data support the legitimacy and stability of the organization. No partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the website content.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL configuration and DNSSEC, indicating a commitment to secure communications and domain integrity. Use of CleanTalk anti-spam and bot detection plugins reduces spam and automated abuse risks. Cookie consent mechanisms comply with GDPR requirements, enhancing privacy compliance. However, the site lacks explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and advanced security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options, which could mitigate risks further. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement additional HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Consider adding direct verified contact emails and phone numbers for improved business credibility and user trust.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using Elementor for page building and WooCommerce for e-commerce capabilities, indicating flexibility and scalability. Integration of Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics supports marketing and analytics needs. The site uses CleanTalk for anti-spam and bot detection, enhancing security. Performance is moderate with responsive design and mobile optimization evident. Some inline CSS and JavaScript are used for UI enhancements and consent management. Hosting details are limited but domain registration is through Realtime Register with DNSSEC enabled, supporting domain security. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid with room for performance tuning and security hardening.
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.
