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

Het Scheepvaartmuseum, also known as The National Maritime Museum, is a prominent cultural institution in the Netherlands specializing in maritime history and exhibitions. The museum boasts one of the largest maritime collections globally, with approximately 400,000 objects. The website serves as an informational and ticketing platform targeting general audiences interested in maritime culture and history. Technically, the site is built on Drupal 10 CMS and incorporates modern JavaScript libraries and marketing tools such as Visual Website Optimizer (VWO) for analytics and optimization. The site is mobile-optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and professional design. Security-wise, the website uses HTTPS and implements cookie consent mechanisms, but lacks visible security headers and explicit privacy or terms of service pages, which are areas for improvement. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain is a notable anomaly that requires further investigation to confirm domain legitimacy. Overall, the website is professionally maintained and trustworthy but could enhance transparency and security posture.

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

3 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 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 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. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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 museum operates as a non-profit cultural institution focused on maritime heritage, serving a broad public audience including tourists, researchers, and educators. Its market position is strong within the cultural and museum sector in the Netherlands, leveraging a large collection and educational programs. The business model centers on exhibitions, events, and ticket sales. The website supports these operations digitally but lacks detailed business contact information and formal policy disclosures online. The use of advanced analytics and marketing tools indicates a mature digital strategy aimed at optimizing visitor engagement. Partnerships or subsidiaries are not evident from the website content. The museum's branding is consistent and aligns with its cultural mission.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security posture. HTTPS is enforced, ensuring encrypted communications. A cookie consent mechanism is present, supporting privacy compliance. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No explicit vulnerability disclosure or incident response contact information is provided, which limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. The use of third-party tracking and marketing scripts introduces potential privacy and security risks that should be managed carefully. The lack of WHOIS data for the domain is a concern for domain trustworthiness. Overall, while no critical vulnerabilities are evident, improvements in security headers, policy disclosures, and incident response readiness are recommended.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the website footer.
  2. Implement and verify security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Provide clear contact information for security incidents, including an abuse or security email address.
  4. Investigate and resolve the absence of WHOIS data to ensure domain registration transparency and trust.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10 CMS, a modern and widely used content management system. It uses JavaScript libraries such as Swiper.js for UI components and integrates Visual Website Optimizer (VWO) for A/B testing and analytics. Google Fonts are used for typography. The site loads external scripts from reputable domains and implements cookie consent via Cookiebot. Performance is moderate with mobile optimization in place. No hosting provider information is directly discernible. The site lacks some advanced SEO and accessibility features but maintains good meta tags and Open Graph data for social sharing. Technical debt appears low, but security header implementation and WHOIS transparency are areas for technical improvement.
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.
