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

Prikkelbare Darm Syndroom Belangenorganisatie (PDSB) is a Dutch non-profit organization dedicated to supporting individuals affected by Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). The website serves as an advocacy and advisory platform, providing information and resources to patients. The organization appears to be small-sized, focused on the healthcare sector within the Netherlands, and founded around 2020. The website is built on WordPress with WooCommerce, indicating potential e-commerce or donation functionalities. It integrates modern tracking and consent technologies such as Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Cookiebot for GDPR compliance. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place, though some security headers could be improved. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Overall, the site demonstrates good technical maturity and professional presentation, though lacks explicit privacy and terms of service pages. Contact information is not directly visible in the analyzed content, which could be improved for better user engagement and trust.

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 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. 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

PDSB occupies a niche position in the healthcare advocacy market, focusing specifically on IBS patients in the Netherlands. Its business model is non-profit, centered on patient support, advice, and advocacy rather than commercial sales. The presence of WooCommerce suggests possible merchandise or fundraising activities. The organization maintains active social media channels to engage its audience. The website's content and structured data reflect a clear mission and target audience. The domain age and WHOIS data align with the organization's founding timeline, supporting legitimacy. The lack of visible contact details and formal policies may limit trust and user confidence. Strategic partnerships or expanded online presence could enhance growth and outreach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS enabled and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism via Cookiebot, supporting GDPR compliance. Tracking scripts are managed with user consent, and no sensitive data leaks were observed in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, which is common for small non-profits but could be enhanced to improve security culture. Regular updates and monitoring of WordPress and plugins are recommended to mitigate risks. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could benefit from formalized policies and additional technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Add explicit Privacy Policy and Terms of Service pages accessible from the website footer or main navigation.
  2. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen defense against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting and demonstrate security commitment.
  4. Display clear contact information including emails and phone numbers to improve user trust and engagement.
  5. Regularly audit and update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to maintain security and performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform with WooCommerce integration, indicating e-commerce or donation capabilities. It uses jQuery and Google services such as Analytics and Tag Manager for tracking and marketing. Cookiebot is implemented for cookie consent management, reflecting GDPR awareness. The site includes Yoast SEO Premium for search engine optimization and structured data markup, enhancing discoverability. Performance appears moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and responsive design. Accessibility is basic but present, with some ARIA roles and semantic HTML. Hosting provider details are not explicit in the content. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid for a small non-profit but could be enhanced with additional security headers and performance optimizations.
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.
