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

Netwerk Notarissen is a well-established Dutch organization representing a network of approximately 150 notary offices across the Netherlands. The website serves as a comprehensive resource for legal and notarial services, focusing on areas such as inheritance, marriage, separation, real estate, and business. It positions itself as the largest notarial community in the country, emphasizing collaboration and knowledge sharing among its members. The site targets Dutch residents seeking professional notarial advice and services. Technically, the website is built on a modern stack likely involving Ruby on Rails, integrates multimedia content via Vimeo, and employs Google reCAPTCHA v3 for spam prevention. Hosting and performance are supported by Cloudflare, ensuring good SSL configuration and moderate performance. The site is mobile-optimized with a clear navigation structure and good SEO practices. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, uses CSRF tokens, and has a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. However, it lacks explicit security headers and publicly available security policies or incident response contacts. The WHOIS data confirms the domain's legitimacy and long-standing presence since 1999, consistent with the business claims. Overall, the website presents a professional, trustworthy, and user-friendly platform for notarial services in the Netherlands, with room for improvement in security policy transparency and technical security headers.

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 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.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Netwerk Notarissen holds a strong market position as the largest notarial community in the Netherlands, leveraging a network business model that fosters collaboration among 150 notary offices. This collective approach enhances service quality and knowledge sharing, creating competitive advantages in the legal services sector. The organization targets individual consumers and businesses requiring notarial services, focusing on life events such as inheritance, marriage, and real estate transactions. Revenue streams likely include membership fees and service facilitation. The partnership ecosystem appears focused on legal and community collaboration rather than commercial partnerships. Growth indicators include a broad content offering and active news updates. Strategic observations suggest potential for expanding digital services and enhancing security transparency to strengthen market trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, CSRF protection, and reCAPTCHA integration to mitigate spam and abuse. Cookie consent mechanisms align with GDPR requirements, indicating awareness of privacy compliance. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No public security policy or incident response contacts are provided, which may hinder effective vulnerability reporting and incident management. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. To improve, the organization should implement comprehensive security headers, publish a security policy, and establish clear incident response communication channels. These steps will enhance security posture and compliance readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen browser security.
  2. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and provide incident response contact information to facilitate vulnerability reporting and enhance trust.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerable components are included.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern web framework, likely Ruby on Rails, indicated by CSRF tokens and authenticity tokens in forms. It integrates multimedia content through Vimeo and uses Google reCAPTCHA v3 for bot mitigation. Hosting is supported by Cloudflare, providing CDN and security benefits. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. The site uses standard HTML5 and CSS with responsive design. However, the absence of explicit security headers and DNSSEC indicates areas for technical improvement. The newsletter subscription form is protected by reCAPTCHA, showing attention to spam prevention. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and accessibility improvements.
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.
