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

4 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 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 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

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

KBF operates as a specialized knowledge center in the government and non-profit sector, targeting a niche market concerned with soil subsidence and foundation issues in the Netherlands. Its business model revolves around knowledge dissemination, expert collaboration, and public engagement rather than commercial sales. The organization leverages partnerships and expert networks to enhance its offerings. The website supports multiple user personas with tailored content, indicating a strategic approach to audience segmentation. The presence of a newsletter and contact forms suggests ongoing engagement and community building. The domain age and registration details align with the organization's founding timeline, supporting credibility. No direct revenue streams or commercial partnerships are evident from the website content.

Security posture

The website maintains a good security posture with HTTPS enabled and no visible exposure of sensitive data. Use of Google Tag Manager is implemented asynchronously, reducing performance impact. Forms are protected with spam prevention mechanisms. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options are not detected and should be implemented to enhance protection against common web attacks. There is no published security policy or incident response contact, which could be improved to demonstrate security maturity. No vulnerabilities or suspicious scripts were found in the analysis. Overall, the site is secure for its purpose but could benefit from additional hardening and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a formal security policy and provide incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Regularly update WordPress core and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance performance optimization to improve loading speed and user experience.
  5. Continue monitoring privacy compliance and update policies as regulations evolve.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using version 6.8.2, enhanced with Gravity Forms for data collection and Vue.js for interactive components. SEO is managed via Yoast SEO plugin, with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) implemented. The site loads external resources asynchronously, including Google Tag Manager and emoji scripts, which helps performance. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design and accessible navigation. No critical technical debt or deprecated libraries were detected. Hosting provider details are not explicit but the site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate. Some minor improvements in security headers and caching strategies could further enhance technical robustness.
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.
