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

Centrum Ganspoel vzw is a well-established non-profit organization based in Belgium, specializing in education and care for children, youth, and adults with visual and multiple disabilities. The organization offers specialized primary education, warm and tailored care, and professional support both on campus and in the community. Their market position is strong within their niche, supported by a professional website that clearly communicates their services and values. Technically, the website is built on a mature ASP.NET Web Forms platform with Telerik UI components and integrates modern web technologies such as Bootstrap and FontAwesome. It employs Google Analytics for visitor tracking and implements cookie consent mechanisms, reflecting a moderate to good level of digital maturity. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and has implemented cookie consent, but lacks explicit security headers and publicly available security policies or incident response information. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The WHOIS data is restricted, which is common for privacy reasons, but the website's professional presentation and trust signals mitigate concerns. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with strong business credibility and good privacy compliance. Strategic improvements in security headers and transparency around security policies would further enhance their posture.

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

7 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.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  2. 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';…

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

Centrum Ganspoel operates in the education and healthcare sectors, focusing on special education and care for visually and multiply disabled individuals. Their business model is non-profit, relying on service provision and community support. The organization targets families, caregivers, and professionals in the disability care ecosystem. Their partnership with recognized agencies like Trede and VAPH strengthens their ecosystem. The website content and structure indicate a stable medium-sized organization with a clear mission and consistent branding. Growth indicators include active news updates and community engagement through events and stories.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented. However, it lacks several recommended security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options, which could improve protection against common web attacks. No incident response or security policy pages are publicly available, which is a gap in transparency and preparedness. The use of third-party libraries like jQuery and Telerik UI requires regular vulnerability assessments. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the organization's profile but could benefit from enhancements to align with best practices and compliance requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  3. Conduct regular security audits of third-party libraries and update them promptly.
  4. Enhance transparency by providing data protection officer contact details and vulnerability disclosure information.
  5. Maintain and improve cookie consent mechanisms to ensure ongoing GDPR compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a legacy ASP.NET Web Forms framework with Telerik UI components, indicating a stable but somewhat dated technology stack. It integrates modern front-end libraries such as Bootstrap and FontAwesome for responsive design and iconography. Google Analytics is used for visitor tracking, and lazy loading of images is implemented for performance optimization. The site is hosted likely on a Windows-based server environment. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. Opportunities exist to modernize the platform to newer frameworks and improve security configurations to reduce technical debt and enhance resilience.
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.
