Duurzaam Bedrijfsleven is a Dutch platform dedicated to providing news and blogs about sustainable businesses and sustainable entrepreneurship. The platform targets companies, professionals, and interested individuals in the sustainability sector, covering multiple industries such as energy, transport, banking, construction, and circular economy. Founded recently in 2023, the website positions itself as a niche media outlet focused on sustainability in the Netherlands. Technically, the website uses October CMS with modern frontend technologies including Bootstrap, jQuery, and FontAwesome, and is hosted by a reputable Dutch registrar with DNSSEC enabled and HTTPS enforced. The site includes GDPR-compliant cookie consent and privacy policies, though lacks explicit security or incident response policies. Overall, the platform demonstrates a good level of digital maturity and professionalism, with a moderate security posture and good privacy 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

8 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 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

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 platform operates as a content publisher in the sustainability media niche, providing timely news and blogs to a targeted audience interested in sustainable business practices. Its partnerships with related sustainability blogs and news sites enhance its ecosystem and credibility. The business model relies on content dissemination and possibly advertising or sponsored content, though no direct monetization details are visible. The recent domain registration aligns with the business launch, indicating a startup phase. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a focus on digital engagement via contact forms. The platform's market position is that of a specialized, trusted source for sustainability news in the Dutch market.

Security posture

The website benefits from HTTPS and DNSSEC, ensuring secure communications and domain integrity. Cookie consent mechanisms are implemented, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of explicit security headers and lack of published security or incident response policies indicate room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The use of third-party libraries is modern but should be regularly audited. The security posture is adequate for a content platform but could be enhanced by adding security headers, incident response information, and a vulnerability disclosure policy.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to mitigate risks from vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider adding direct verified contact emails or phone numbers for business and security inquiries to improve trust and communication.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on October CMS, a modern PHP-based content management system, and uses Bootstrap 5.3.3 for responsive design, jQuery for DOM manipulation, and Slick Carousel and PhotoSwipe for interactive UI components. Google Fonts and FontAwesome provide typography and iconography. Google Analytics is integrated for visitor tracking with consent. The site is hosted by team.blue nl B.V., a known Dutch hosting provider, with DNSSEC enabled and HTTPS enforced, indicating good domain and transport security. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured navigation. The technical stack is modern and appropriate for a content publishing platform, though there is opportunity to improve security headers and accessibility compliance.
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.
