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 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

Omgevingsweb holds a strong market position as the largest platform in its niche within the Netherlands, targeting professionals and organizations concerned with environmental regulations and safety. Its business model revolves around content aggregation, policy updates, and subscription-based access to specialized information. The platform leverages partnerships with social media channels for outreach and uses established analytics and marketing tools to monitor and enhance user engagement. The absence of explicit contact details and privacy policies suggests potential areas for strengthening user trust and regulatory compliance. The platform's hosting and domain registration are consistent with its business claims, supporting its legitimacy and operational stability.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security posture with enforced HTTPS, DNSSEC, and the use of Cookiebot for managing cookie consent, which aligns with GDPR requirements. The integration of reCAPTCHA helps mitigate bot-related threats. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. However, the lack of published security policies, incident response plans, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates gaps in comprehensive security governance. Enhancing these areas would improve the platform's resilience and user trust. Regular audits of third-party scripts and continuous monitoring are recommended to maintain security integrity.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear and comprehensive privacy policy page to enhance GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add terms of service and security policy pages to clarify user rights and security commitments.
  3. Provide explicit contact information including emails and phone numbers for support and business inquiries.
  4. Implement and publicize an incident response plan and vulnerability disclosure policy to improve security transparency.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet broader compliance standards and improve user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a robust WordPress platform with WooCommerce, utilizing modern front-end libraries such as jQuery, Bootstrap, and Select2. It employs Google Tag Manager and analytics tools for performance and user behavior tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and includes SEO best practices via Yoast SEO plugin. Hosting is provided by team.blue nl B.V., a reputable registrar with DNSSEC enabled, contributing to domain security. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in loading speed and accessibility compliance. The technical stack is well-maintained but would benefit from continuous updates and security audits to mitigate risks associated with third-party plugins and scripts.
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.
