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. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

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 positions Nationaal Park Drentsche Aa as a key regional natural park under the governance of Provincie Drenthe. Its competitive advantage lies in its unique landscape and cultural heritage, supported by partnerships with regional and European conservation organizations. The business model is public service and conservation-focused, with revenue likely from government funding and regional support. Target customers include tourists, local residents, and educational groups. The partnership ecosystem is robust, linking to related parks and funding bodies. The site reflects a mature digital presence with ongoing content updates and event promotion, indicating active community engagement and growth potential.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced, secure form submissions including CSRF tokens, and a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents gaps in transparency and readiness. Security headers are not explicitly visible in the provided data, suggesting room for improvement. Overall, the site is secure for general use but could enhance trust by publishing formal security documentation and improving header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  2. Implement and expose a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  5. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies to reflect evolving regulations and best practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the iprox CMS platform, utilizing standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. Google Analytics 4 is integrated for analytics, and cookie consent is managed via custom scripts. The site is mobile responsive with good accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA labels. Performance is moderate, with video content and multiple CSS files potentially impacting load times. The site uses canonical URLs and Open Graph metadata for SEO and social sharing. No major technical debt or outdated technologies were detected, but opportunities exist to optimize performance and security headers further.
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.
