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

GeoCat BV is a specialized technology company focused on providing innovative solutions for geographic data management and open data publishing. Their product suite includes GeoCat Live, Find, Map, and Bridge, targeting governments, businesses, and NGOs worldwide. The company emphasizes open source software and sustainable development in the geospatial domain. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and provides clear navigation and contact options, reflecting a mature digital presence. Technically, the site is built on the Odoo CMS platform with modern libraries and includes privacy consent mechanisms and analytics via Plausible. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS and CSRF protections, but lacks published security policies and vulnerability disclosures. The WHOIS data is missing or unavailable, which raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy despite the professional business presentation. Overall, the site is trustworthy but would benefit from improved transparency on privacy and security policies.

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

6 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 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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

GeoCat BV holds a unique market position in the geospatial data sharing sector, serving a diverse clientele including governments and NGOs. Their business model combines software products with consulting and training services, leveraging open source technologies to promote collaboration and cost efficiency. The company demonstrates strong branding consistency and trust indicators such as customer testimonials and comprehensive product documentation. The partnership ecosystem includes official documentation and hosting subdomains. Growth potential is supported by a clear focus on sustainable open source development and global reach. However, the lack of WHOIS registration data is a notable risk factor that should be addressed to enhance credibility.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and includes security best practices like CSRF tokens and cookie consent banners, indicating a baseline security maturity. However, the absence of security headers, published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests gaps in comprehensive security governance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The missing WHOIS data also impacts trust and may indicate domain registration issues. Compliance with GDPR is partially indicated by cookie consent but lacks a formal privacy policy. Overall, the security posture is moderate with room for improvement in transparency and policy publication.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add a terms of service page to clarify user agreements and legal protections.
  3. Implement and publicize a security policy and incident response contact information.
  4. Create a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options to strengthen defenses.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Odoo CMS platform, utilizing modern web technologies including Bootstrap, FontAwesome, and Firebase for push notifications. It integrates Plausible Analytics for privacy-focused user tracking. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate with deferred script loading and preconnect hints. No critical technical debt or vulnerabilities were identified in the frontend code. Hosting details are not explicitly disclosed. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and formalize privacy and security documentation to reduce technical risks.
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.
