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

DataSign is a small, established Dutch company specializing in WordPress website and webshop development, SEO, email marketing, social media management, hosting, and related digital services. Founded in 1999 and based in Haarlem, Netherlands, it positions itself as an affordable and experienced local specialist with a strong portfolio and official certification as a Nederlandse Geregistreerde Webdesigner. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and provides clear contact channels including email, phone, and a contact form with CAPTCHA protection. Technically, the site runs on WordPress with modern technologies such as LiteSpeed Cache, Google Maps API, and Contact Form 7. It uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration and includes Google reCAPTCHA v3 for spam protection. However, security headers are not explicitly detected, and no dedicated security or incident response policies are published. Privacy and cookie policies exist but lack an explicit consent mechanism. The security posture is solid with no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. The domain registration details are consistent with the business claims, indicating legitimacy and trustworthiness. Analytics tools like Google Analytics and StatCounter are used with moderate user tracking. Overall, the website is safe, professional, and trustworthy, targeting general audiences without any adult or questionable content. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing explicit security and incident response policies, implementing explicit cookie consent mechanisms, and maintaining regular updates to WordPress and plugins to sustain security and compliance.

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

3 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.

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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 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

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • 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

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

DataSign operates in the technology and e-commerce sectors, focusing on small to medium businesses in the Haarlem region. Its competitive advantage lies in over 20 years of experience, official certification, and a comprehensive service offering from web development to digital marketing and hosting. The business model is service-oriented, generating revenue through project-based website and webshop development, SEO services, and ongoing hosting and marketing support. The company maintains a strong local presence with a portfolio of diverse clients and active social media engagement. Growth indicators include a regularly updated blog and a wide range of client projects showcased. Partnerships with certification bodies and trust widgets enhance credibility. The company appears well-positioned in its niche with consistent branding and professional content.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of Google reCAPTCHA v3 to protect forms from spam and abuse. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. No published security policy or incident response information is available, which could impact transparency and readiness. GDPR compliance is indicated by the presence of privacy and cookie policies, though cookie consent mechanisms are not explicit. Overall, the security culture appears adequate for a small business but would benefit from formalizing policies and enhancing HTTP security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Add an explicit cookie consent mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and ePrivacy Directive requirements.
  4. Maintain regular updates and patching of WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance by detailing data retention policies and user rights in the privacy policy.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern technology stack including PHP, jQuery, LiteSpeed Cache, and FontAwesome icons. It integrates Google Maps API and uses Contact Form 7 with Google reCAPTCHA v3 for form security. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good SEO meta tags including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by multiple external scripts and plugins. Accessibility features are basic but present. Hosting details are not explicit but the use of LiteSpeed Cache suggests a LiteSpeed web server environment. Technical risks include the lack of security headers and potential plugin vulnerabilities if not regularly updated. Overall, the infrastructure supports a professional and functional web presence suitable for the business scale.
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.
