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

2 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. 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

De Ensors operates in the media sector focusing on the Flemish audiovisual industry. Its competitive advantage lies in its recognized annual awards and strong partnerships with cultural and financial institutions. The membership academy model provides recurring engagement and voting rights, fostering community involvement. Revenue streams likely include sponsorships, memberships, and event-related income. The partnership ecosystem includes reputable organizations such as Filmfestival Oostende and VAF, enhancing credibility and reach. Growth indicators include active news updates and digital engagement via podcasts and social media. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to enhance transparency around security and incident response to further build trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, anonymized Google Analytics tracking, and a robust cookie consent mechanism. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of published security policies, incident response contacts, and security headers represents gaps in transparency and defense-in-depth. Compliance with GDPR is evident through privacy and cookie policies. Incident response readiness and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not publicly documented, which could be improved to enhance security culture and stakeholder confidence.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and frameworks.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and configure security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency by adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 9, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries and CDN-hosted resources for performance. It uses Google Analytics with IP anonymization and a cookie consent framework (CookiesJSR) for privacy compliance. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with structured navigation and SEO-friendly metadata including Open Graph and Twitter cards. Hosting is via Combell nv, a reputable Belgian provider. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. No technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and implement advanced caching or CDN strategies for faster load times.
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.
