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

4 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

    • 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

  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

The Postcode Loterij holds a leading position in the Dutch charitable lottery market, leveraging a unique postcode-based lottery model. Its business model combines lottery ticket sales with social impact, appealing to a broad demographic. The organization benefits from strong brand recognition, official licensing, and partnerships with related lotteries such as VriendenLoterij and Museumprijs. Revenue streams primarily come from participant ticket sales, with a transparent allocation of funds to charitable organizations. The website supports participant engagement through newsletters, social media, and detailed prize information. The partnership ecosystem includes marketing and analytics providers, enhancing customer insights and campaign effectiveness. Strategic observations suggest continued focus on digital engagement and compliance to maintain trust and market leadership.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security posture with mandatory HTTPS, use of consent management platforms, and integration of reputable analytics and marketing tools. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the HTML content. However, explicit security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options were not clearly detected and should be verified. The absence of a published incident response or vulnerability disclosure policy indicates room for improvement in transparency and readiness. Overall, the site aligns well with best practices for a public-facing lottery platform, minimizing risk exposure and supporting user privacy.

Recommendations

  1. Verify and explicitly implement security headers like X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against clickjacking and MIME sniffing.
  2. Publish an incident response policy and contact channels for security issues to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance with WCAG standards and broaden user inclusivity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack featuring Vue.js for frontend interactivity, RequireJS for module loading, and Enonic CMS for content management. Hosting appears to leverage Microsoft Azure services, indicated by blob.core.windows.net script sources. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and use of lazy loading for images. SEO is well addressed with comprehensive meta tags including Open Graph and Twitter cards. Mobile optimization is good, ensuring usability across devices. The site integrates multiple third-party services for analytics, consent management, and marketing, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and security header implementation to further enhance technical robustness.
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.
