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

Marketing Drenthe is a small, specialized regional marketing organization focused on promoting the Dutch province of Drenthe as a leisure and tourism destination. The organization operates with support from the Province of Drenthe and targets leisure visitors, tourism entrepreneurs, and partners to stimulate sustainable tourism development. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand presence with clear contact information and active social media engagement. Technically, the site employs modern tracking and analytics tools such as Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and Microsoft Clarity, embedded within a responsive and accessible design. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, though there is room for improvement in security headers and explicit privacy documentation. Overall, the site is trustworthy and well-positioned within its niche, but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security disclosures.

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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  2. 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

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

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 organization holds a clear market position as a regional marketing entity supported by government funding. Its business model revolves around destination marketing, content sharing, and partner collaboration to boost tourism in Drenthe. The website content and structure indicate a focus on sustainable visitor distribution and sector development. The presence of multiple social media channels and marketing campaigns suggests active engagement with target audiences. No direct revenue streams or commercial transactions are evident, consistent with a government-supported marketing body. The organization appears to maintain a small team with specialized expertise, emphasizing quality and partnership over scale.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS and a cookie consent mechanism that respects user privacy preferences. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options represents a gap in defense-in-depth strategies. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms limits transparency and preparedness. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the organization's risk profile but could be strengthened by adopting additional best practices and formal policies.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy detailing data collection, usage, and user rights to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Implement and publish terms of service to clarify user and organizational responsibilities.
  3. Add security headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  4. Establish and communicate an incident response process and vulnerability disclosure policy to improve security transparency.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and ensure compliance with user consent.

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.
