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

Permacultuur Magazine is a niche Dutch media publication focused on permaculture and sustainable living. It operated as a quarterly print magazine from 2015 to 2023 and now publishes monthly free articles online, supported by a webshop for back issues. The website is built on WordPress using the GeneratePress theme and includes standard web technologies such as jQuery and Google Fonts. The site is moderately optimized for mobile and SEO, with good content relevance for its target audience. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced but lacks advanced security headers and visible privacy compliance mechanisms. Contact is available via a contact form but no direct emails or phone numbers are published. Overall, the site is legitimate and consistent with a small media business but would benefit from improved privacy and security practices.

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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  2. 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';…

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

The business operates in the media sector, targeting individuals interested in permaculture and ecological design. Its business model centers on publishing and content distribution, supplemented by a webshop for magazine sales. The company appears small in size with a focused niche market. The website content and structure indicate consistent branding and a professional approach, though trust indicators like certifications or testimonials are absent. The lack of direct contact details and privacy policies suggests room for maturity in business credibility and compliance.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS, which is a fundamental security measure. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could improve protection against common web attacks. No incident response or security policy information is provided, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are found. The use of third-party analytics (burst-statistics) introduces moderate tracking but no explicit privacy controls are visible. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced by implementing best practices and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Provide clear contact information for security incidents and data protection inquiries, including a security or abuse email.
  4. Regularly audit and update plugins and third-party scripts to minimize vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency around data collection and retention policies to build user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern WordPress CMS with the GeneratePress theme, leveraging jQuery and Google Fonts for frontend functionality and styling. The site is mobile optimized and has good SEO meta tags. Performance is moderate, with no explicit indicators of slow loading but also no advanced optimization techniques detected. The presence of burst-statistics indicates some level of user tracking. No advanced frameworks or headless CMS architectures are used. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Overall, the technical infrastructure is standard for a small to medium WordPress-based publication site.
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.
