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 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. 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 Content-Security-Policy header

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

Coworks operates in the technology sector, focusing on Drupal and open-source web development services for businesses and organizations. Their business model is service-oriented, emphasizing project management and consulting alongside development. The company has a stable market position as a long-standing independent Drupal team in Belgium. The absence of phone numbers and physical addresses on the homepage suggests a lean operation or reliance on digital communication. No social media presence was detected, indicating a possible focus on direct client relationships or niche market. The company’s portfolio and messaging emphasize quality and sustainability, targeting clients who value pragmatic and thorough project execution.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security posture. HTTPS is used, ensuring encrypted communication. However, no security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, or X-Content-Type-Options were detected in the HTML content, which could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. There is no visible privacy policy or cookie consent mechanism, which is a compliance gap under GDPR. No incident response or security contact information is provided. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for a small business but requires enhancements to meet best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Add security headers to the web server configuration to enhance protection against common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Provide explicit incident response contact information such as a security@ or abuse@ email address.
  4. Consider adding phone contact and physical address details to improve business credibility and compliance.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and modules to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 11, a modern and actively maintained CMS platform, using standard contributed modules and themes such as Stable and Classy. The front-end uses jQuery 3.7.1 and custom theme assets. The site is mobile optimized and accessible with good SEO practices including canonical links and meta viewport tags. Performance is moderate, with no heavy external scripts or analytics detected, which reduces tracking and potential privacy concerns. The hosting provider is likely Combell nv, consistent with the domain registrar. No broken elements or errors were observed in the HTML content. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and implement privacy compliance mechanisms.
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.
