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.

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

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

Geef.nl occupies a strong position in the Dutch crowdfunding and charity market, leveraging its long history and large user base. Its business model relies on voluntary platform fees and transaction fees, with donors having options to contribute additional fees. The platform's competitive advantage lies in its trusted reputation, comprehensive charity comparison tools, and ease of use for campaigners. The target customers are Dutch individuals and charitable organizations. The platform's partnership ecosystem includes social media channels and trust seal providers, enhancing credibility. Growth indicators include a large number of active campaigns and users. Strategic observations suggest focusing on expanding transparency around security and incident response to further build donor confidence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and no visible exposure of sensitive data. The presence of a Trust Guard security seal indicates third-party validation of security practices. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security policies or incident response contacts represent gaps. No vulnerabilities or malware indicators were found in the HTML content. Privacy compliance is strong with clear cookie consent mechanisms and comprehensive privacy policies. Incident response readiness and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not evident, suggesting areas for enhancement. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved by formalizing security policies and publishing incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive security policy including frameworks followed (e.g., ISO 27001 or NIST)
  2. Add and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options
  3. Publish incident response contact information and consider adding a security.txt file for vulnerability disclosures
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize security risks
  5. Enhance transparency around data retention policies and data protection officer contact details to improve GDPR 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.
