Drents Parlement is the official website of the provincial parliament of Drenthe in the Netherlands, providing comprehensive information about parliamentary activities, members, meetings, and public engagement. The site targets residents, government officials, and political stakeholders interested in the governance of Drenthe. It offers live streaming of sessions and detailed agendas, supporting transparency and civic participation. Technically, the website uses a modern CMS (GO. cms enterprise) and integrates video streaming libraries such as Video.js and Flowplayer, ensuring a functional and accessible user experience across devices. The site is mobile optimized and well-structured, with clear navigation and relevant content. Security-wise, the website enforces HTTPS and uses secure streaming technologies, but lacks visible security headers and published security or incident response policies. Privacy compliance is weak due to the absence of privacy and cookie policies or consent mechanisms. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security disclosures.

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. 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. 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

  3. 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

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 Drents Parlement website serves as a governmental information portal for the provincial parliament of Drenthe. It holds a strong market position as the official source of parliamentary information for the region. The business model is public service-oriented, focusing on transparency and citizen engagement rather than commercial revenue. Key services include publishing meeting schedules, decisions, member profiles, and live broadcasts. The site integrates with partner domains such as gemeenteoplossingen.nl and provincie.drenthe.nl, indicating a collaborative ecosystem within local government IT infrastructure. Growth indicators include active content updates and live streaming capabilities. The absence of commercial advertising or tracking reflects a focus on public trust and compliance with governmental standards.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to strong security posture with HTTPS enforced and no visible exposure of sensitive data. The use of reputable video streaming libraries reduces risk in media delivery. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options is a notable gap that could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is published, which limits transparency and preparedness communication. Privacy compliance is insufficient, lacking GDPR-related policies and cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for a governmental informational site but could be improved by adopting best practices in headers, policies, and incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Establish and publish an incident response policy and contact channels for security issues.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance transparency by providing direct contact information such as official emails or phone numbers for public inquiries.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the GO. cms enterprise platform and uses modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery 3.6.0, Video.js, and Flowplayer for media streaming. FontAwesome 6.4.2 is used for icons. The site loads CSS and JS resources from both its own domain and trusted partner domains (gemeenteoplossingen.nl). The HTML structure is valid and includes accessibility features such as ARIA labels and skip links. Performance is moderate with some external dependencies but no heavy analytics or advertising scripts detected. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design elements. The site could benefit from improved SEO metadata and structured data for enhanced search engine visibility. Technical risks are low but could be mitigated further by adding security headers and 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.
