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 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

  3. 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

NLV operates primarily as a membership-driven non-profit with revenue streams from donations and volunteer engagement. Its target audience includes liver patients, their relatives, and healthcare stakeholders in the Netherlands. The association leverages partnerships with European and national liver and patient organizations to enhance its advocacy and informational reach. The website's content strategy focuses on patient education, community building, and fundraising, positioning NLV as a trusted resource in the liver disease patient community.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and basic anti-spam measures such as email obfuscation and cookie consent mechanisms, indicating a foundational security posture. However, the use of outdated JavaScript libraries (jQuery 1.11.3) and absence of advanced security headers suggest room for improvement. No formal security or incident response policies are published, and no vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are evident. Overall, the security maturity is moderate, suitable for a non-profit informational site but requiring enhancements to mitigate emerging threats.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  2. Upgrade JavaScript libraries to current versions to reduce vulnerability exposure.
  3. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to harden the site against common attacks.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance by detailing data retention policies and user rights more explicitly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a traditional tech stack including Bootstrap 3.3.7, jQuery 1.11.3, and FontAwesome 4, managed via the e-Captain CMS platform. It integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for visitor tracking. The site is mobile responsive with good navigation clarity and SEO optimization. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements by updating libraries and optimizing assets. Accessibility is basic but could be enhanced to meet higher standards. Hosting details are not explicitly identified from the content. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the organization's goals but would benefit from modernization and security hardening.
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.
