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

On the way to PlanetProof is a sustainability certification label managed by SMK, focused on promoting more sustainable production of food and ornamental plant products. The website serves both consumers and businesses by providing information about the certification, products, and certified holders. It holds a recognized market position as a top sustainability label in the Netherlands, endorsed by environmental organizations such as Milieu Centraal. The business model revolves around certification and consumer awareness to drive sustainable agricultural practices. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern web technologies including jQuery, Google Tag Manager, and Google Maps API. The site is mobile-optimized and features good SEO practices, although some accessibility features could be improved. Performance is moderate with no major technical issues detected. The site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, ensuring secure communication. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates a solid baseline with HTTPS and no visible sensitive data exposure. However, it lacks some security headers and a visible cookie consent mechanism, which are recommended for enhanced security and compliance with EU regulations. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is published, which could be improved to strengthen trust and security posture. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and aligned with its business goals. The lack of WHOIS data is due to privacy protection by the registry and does not detract from the site's legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include implementing security headers, adding cookie consent, publishing security policies, and enhancing contact transparency to further improve security and compliance.

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

9 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

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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';…

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 website represents a medium-sized non-profit entity operating in the retail and agricultural sectors, focusing on sustainability certification. Its competitive advantage lies in its recognition as a top sustainability label and its association with SMK, a known certification body. Revenue streams likely include certification fees and partnerships. The target customers are both consumers seeking sustainable products and businesses aiming for certification. Growth indicators include active social media presence and ongoing content updates. The partnership ecosystem includes environmental organizations and certification comparison platforms, enhancing credibility and reach. The business operates primarily in the Netherlands with content in Dutch and English.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate. The website employs HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data, which are positive indicators. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security reduces the overall security posture. There is no published incident response or vulnerability disclosure policy, which limits transparency and preparedness. GDPR compliance is partially addressed through a privacy policy hosted on the parent organization's site, but the lack of a cookie consent banner is a compliance gap. The security culture appears basic, with room for improvement in formalizing policies and enhancing technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to harden the site against common web attacks.
  2. Add a visible cookie consent banner to comply with EU cookie laws and improve user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to enhance trust and preparedness.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct regular security audits to maintain and improve the security posture over time.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using a custom theme and includes common libraries such as jQuery and FontAwesome. It integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics and Google Maps API for location services. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate with no critical technical debt observed. The site lacks some advanced accessibility features and security headers, which are recommended for modernization. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified from the content. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business goals effectively but can benefit from security and compliance enhancements.
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.
