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

The website serves as an essential knowledge and communication hub for public health organizations in the Netherlands, specifically GGD and GHOR bureaus. Its business model is government service-oriented, focusing on information dissemination and employment facilitation. The platform's market position is important within regional public health networks, supported by clear contact channels and active vacancy listings. The use of OpenID Connect indicates integration with identity management systems, enhancing security and user management. Partnerships with related government domains are evident, reinforcing its ecosystem. Growth indicators include active job postings and continuous content updates.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of OpenID Connect for authentication, which is a strong industry standard. CSRF tokens are implemented, reducing risk of cross-site request forgery. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a gap that could expose the site to clickjacking or content injection attacks. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response policies are published, which limits transparency and preparedness. Google Analytics usage introduces moderate user tracking, which should be balanced with privacy compliance. Overall, the site is secure but could improve in policy transparency and header implementation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner to comply with EU cookie laws and improve privacy compliance.
  3. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and trust.
  4. Consider creating and publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and ensure compliance.

Notes

The website uses a modern and stable technology stack with HTML5, CSS3, jQuery 3.6.0, jQuery UI, Tailwind CSS, and FontAwesome icons. Google Fonts are used for typography, and Google Analytics is integrated for visitor tracking. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design elements and good navigation clarity. Performance is moderate, likely due to multiple CSS and JS assets but no major delays detected. The CMS is not explicitly identified. The site uses OpenID Connect for authentication, indicating integration with identity management frameworks. There is room for improvement in accessibility and SEO optimization, as well as in implementing security headers and cookie consent mechanisms.
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.
