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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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.

Business context

Business profile

The KVK Innovatie Top 100 holds a strong market position as a recognized innovation award platform for SMEs in the Netherlands, leveraging the authority of the Kamer van Koophandel. Its business model revolves around organizing competitions, providing visibility, and fostering connections between innovative companies and potential partners. The platform's competitive advantage lies in its official backing and targeted focus on innovation categories, including new provisions for startups and public voting since 2024. Revenue streams likely include sponsorships and partnerships with KVK and related entities. The target audience is Dutch SMEs with growth ambitions and innovative products or services. The platform maintains a consistent branding and content strategy, supporting its role as a trusted innovation showcase.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and privacy-conscious analytics configurations. However, it lacks explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and does not publish a dedicated security policy or incident response contacts. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present, which could improve transparency and security readiness. The absence of direct contact information for security incidents limits incident response capabilities. Overall, the site is secure for general users but could enhance its security maturity by adopting additional best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and provide incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance contact information availability, including official emails and phone numbers for business and security inquiries.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are present.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on IBM Domino technology, indicated by .nsf file extensions and aspml.js usage, combined with modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 3.7.1, jQuery UI, Slick Carousel, and PhotoSwipe for UI enhancements. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are integrated for user tracking and analytics. The site uses responsive design and accessibility features like skip links and ARIA roles, contributing to good user experience and SEO optimization. Performance is moderate, with some use of PageSpeed optimizations. The technical stack is stable but could benefit from modernization and improved security header implementation to reduce technical debt and enhance security posture.
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.
