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.

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.

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.

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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Business context
Business profile
The organization operates within the healthcare and non-profit sectors, focusing on patient advocacy and information dissemination. Its market position is strong within the Netherlands, supported by a broad network of member organizations. The business model centers on representation and support rather than commercial activities. The website's content and structure indicate a mature digital presence with integrated social media channels and a focus on user experience. However, the absence of visible contact details and formal privacy documentation suggests areas for improvement in transparency and compliance. The organization likely relies on partnerships with healthcare entities and government bodies, though no explicit partner domains were identified beyond social media platforms.
Security posture
The website exhibits a solid security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. Forms present are minimal and use safe methods (GET for search). However, the lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates gaps in formal security governance and transparency. GDPR compliance is implied but not explicitly documented on the site. The overall risk is moderate, with recommendations to enhance policy visibility and incident readiness to strengthen trust and compliance.
Recommendations
Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with clear consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
Add explicit security and incident response policies, including contact channels for security issues.
Implement a vulnerability disclosure program and provide a security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
Enhance visibility of contact information including emails and phone numbers for better user trust and support.
Maintain and update security headers and monitor third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built using modern front-end technologies including ES modules and Alpine.js, ensuring dynamic and responsive user interfaces. Hosting via AWS Cloudfront CDN contributes to fast load times and global availability. SEO is supported through proper meta tags, Open Graph, and Twitter card metadata. Accessibility features such as skip links and semantic HTML are present, contributing to good usability. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and interactive menus. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or static site generation approach. Performance and technical implementation are strong, with opportunities to improve documentation and compliance-related content.
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.
