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

7 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 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

Omroep ZWART occupies a niche position in the Dutch media landscape, targeting culturally diverse audiences with unique programming. Its business model is non-profit public broadcasting, supported by NPO. The platform leverages multiple content delivery channels and maintains partnerships with NPO services like NPO Start. The presence of extensive analytics and tracking suggests a data-driven approach to audience engagement. The broadcaster's recent founding aligns with its modern branding and digital-first strategy. No direct revenue streams or commercial partnerships were detected in the provided data.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, DNSSEC, and use of secure video player technology. Cookie consent is managed via a dedicated NPO module, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of published privacy policies, terms of service, and security incident response information indicates gaps in compliance and transparency. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The use of multiple third-party analytics and tracking scripts requires ongoing monitoring to mitigate privacy risks. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be enhanced by publishing formal policies and disclosure mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service on the website.
  2. Implement and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking pixels for security and privacy risks.
  5. Provide clear contact information including company emails and phone numbers for support and security incidents.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including Bitmovin Player for video streaming, Google Tag Manager for tag management, and multiple analytics platforms such as Google Analytics, TikTok Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, and Facebook Pixel. The site is mobile optimized and uses responsive design with slick sliders for content presentation. DNSSEC is enabled, and SSL configuration is good. The CMS appears custom or proprietary to NPO, with no common CMS detected. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts to optimize speed. The site uses cookie consent management via NPO's CCM wrapper. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which require ongoing security monitoring.
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.
