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

CBR.nl is the official website of the Dutch driving license authority, providing essential services such as driving school search, theory exam reservations, health declarations, and driving exam management. The site targets Dutch residents seeking driving licenses and related services, positioning itself as the primary government agency in the transportation sector in the Netherlands. The business model is service-oriented, focusing on regulatory and administrative functions related to driving licenses. Technically, the website employs standard web technologies including jQuery and JSON-LD structured data for organization information. The site shows moderate performance and good mobile optimization but lacks advanced frameworks or CMS indications. SEO is adequately addressed through meta tags and structured data, though accessibility features are basic. From a security perspective, the site includes CSRF protection scripts and uses Dynatrace for monitoring, but lacks visible security headers and published security policies. No privacy or cookie policies were found in the provided content, indicating potential compliance gaps. The site is accessible without WAF or blocking mechanisms, but security posture could be improved by implementing standard headers and publishing incident response information. Overall, the website is functional and moderately professional but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance, security best practices, and more comprehensive contact and policy disclosures to improve 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

6 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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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

    • 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. 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

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

CBR operates as a government entity responsible for driving license issuance and related services in the Netherlands. Its market position is strong as the official authority, with a clear focus on transportation sector services. The business model is regulatory and service-driven, targeting individuals and driving schools. Revenue streams are likely government-funded rather than commercial. The website ecosystem is limited in partnerships or subsidiaries based on the provided data. Growth indicators are not visible from the HTML content. The company maintains a consistent brand presence and trust signals through official domain and structured data but lacks visible certifications or third-party endorsements.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is basic. The presence of CSRF protection scripts and HTTPS implied by canonical links suggests foundational security measures. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others reduces defense-in-depth. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are published, which limits transparency and readiness. GDPR compliance indicators are weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. The use of Dynatrace indicates monitoring capabilities but also introduces tracking considerations. Overall, the security posture is functional but requires enhancements to meet modern compliance and security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure information accessible to users and security researchers.
  4. Ensure HTTPS is enforced site-wide and visible to users to guarantee secure communications.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and monitoring tools to minimize security risks and privacy concerns.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a traditional web technology stack with jQuery and jQuery UI libraries, CSS stylesheets, and JSON-LD structured data for SEO and organization information. The presence of Dynatrace monitoring scripts indicates active performance and user experience tracking. The site loads multiple CSS and JS resources, some deferred for performance optimization. Mobile optimization is addressed via responsive CSS and viewport meta tags. However, no modern JavaScript frameworks or CMS platforms are detected, suggesting a relatively simple technical infrastructure. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in accessibility and advanced SEO features. The technical debt appears low but modernization opportunities exist to enhance maintainability and 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.
