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

Gemeente Gooise Meren is the official municipal government website serving the residents and visitors of Gooise Meren in the Netherlands. The site provides comprehensive information and services related to passports, driving licenses, waste management, parking, moving notifications, and other local government functions. It positions itself as a trusted public service portal with clear contact channels and a focus on accessibility and user experience. Technically, the website is built on the TYPO3 CMS platform, leveraging modern web standards and accessibility features, with moderate performance and good SEO optimization.

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 reflects a medium-sized government entity focused on public service delivery within the municipality of Gooise Meren. Its business model centers on providing digital access to municipal services and information, targeting local residents and stakeholders. The site integrates with partner domains related to governance, tourism, and virtual assistance, indicating a collaborative ecosystem. The presence of social media channels and structured data suggests an intent to engage citizens and improve digital outreach. The domain age and WHOIS data align with the municipality's formation timeline, reinforcing legitimacy. No commercial revenue streams or affiliate programs are evident, consistent with a public sector organization.

Security posture

The website maintains a good security baseline with enforced HTTPS and DNSSEC, reducing risks of man-in-the-middle attacks and DNS spoofing. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options could expose the site to clickjacking or content injection risks. There is no published incident response or vulnerability disclosure policy, which limits transparency and readiness for security events. Privacy policies are present and GDPR compliant, but cookie consent mechanisms are not implemented, which may pose compliance risks. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a government website but could be enhanced with additional controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to harden the site against common web attacks.
  2. Publish an incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy to improve transparency and readiness for security incidents.
  3. Introduce a cookie consent mechanism to ensure full GDPR compliance and user privacy control.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate risks from external libraries.
  5. Enhance monitoring and logging capabilities to detect and respond to potential security threats promptly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used open-source content management system suitable for government websites. The site uses modern HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript, with external stylesheets and scripts loaded asynchronously to optimize performance. Accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA labels are implemented, enhancing usability for assistive technologies. SEO is supported by meta tags, Open Graph properties, and structured JSON-LD data, improving search engine visibility. The site loads with moderate speed and is mobile optimized. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified in the content. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid with opportunities for performance tuning and enhanced security configurations.
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.
