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.

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

GGD Brabant-Zuidoost operates as a government health agency providing essential public health services in the Brabant-Zuidoost region. Its market position is strong as a regional authority with a broad portfolio of health services including vaccination programs, infectious disease control, and health education. The business model is publicly funded and focused on community health outcomes rather than commercial revenue. The organization targets residents and healthcare professionals, leveraging digital channels for outreach and service delivery. The website's comprehensive content and active social media presence indicate a mature communication strategy. There is no indication of subsidiaries or parent companies, consistent with a government entity. The organization benefits from trust signals such as official domain, HTTPS, and structured data markup.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive data. Use of security-related plugins and lazy loading techniques indicate attention to performance and security. However, some standard security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options are not explicitly detected and could be implemented to harden security. No vulnerabilities or malware indicators were found. Privacy policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, but incident response and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are absent. Overall, the site is secure for its purpose but could benefit from formalizing security policies and enhancing header protections.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and incident response procedures.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Maintain regular updates of WordPress core and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency around data retention policies related to analytics and user data.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.1 with a modern tech stack including Yoast SEO Premium for SEO optimization, UIkit for frontend framework, Algolia for search functionality, and Matomo for privacy-focused analytics. The site uses jQuery 3.7.1 and lazy loading for images and iframes to improve performance. Google Translate integration provides multilingual support. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and accessibility features such as screen reader support and keyboard navigation. Performance is moderate with deferred script loading and CDN usage for analytics. Hosting provider details are not explicit but Matomo Cloud is used for analytics. Overall, the technical implementation is robust with opportunities to improve security headers and formalize security documentation.
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.
