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

Privacy Coalitie is a Dutch non-profit coalition advocating for enhanced digital privacy and privacy-friendly alternatives in the Netherlands. Founded in 2022, it brings together multiple organizations and individuals to promote awareness, responsible data use, and societal dialogue on digital privacy. The coalition positions itself as a thought leader aiming to influence both policy and public behavior towards a more privacy-respecting digital society. The website serves as an informational and advocacy platform, providing a manifesto, member lists, and contact points for engagement. Technically, the website uses modern frontend technologies including Bootstrap 5 and jQuery 3.6.0, hosted by Combell NV. The site is mobile responsive with good navigation and content structure. However, no CMS or advanced backend technologies are detected. Performance is moderate with basic accessibility and SEO optimizations in place. No analytics or tracking scripts are present, reflecting a privacy-conscious approach. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and has clientTransferProhibited domain status, but lacks DNSSEC and security headers, which are recommended for improved security posture. No privacy or cookie policies are published, representing a compliance gap with GDPR best practices. Contact is provided solely via email, with no forms or phone numbers. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are evident. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional for its advocacy purpose but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance documentation and improved security hardening. The domain registration is consistent and legitimate, supporting the coalition's credibility.

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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  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 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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

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.

Business context

Business profile

The Privacy Coalitie operates as a small non-profit coalition focused on digital privacy advocacy in the Netherlands. Its market positioning is as a societal influencer and thought leader promoting privacy awareness and privacy-friendly digital alternatives. The coalition's business model relies on voluntary donations and contributions from individuals and organizations. Its partnership ecosystem includes reputable Dutch organizations and privacy-focused companies, enhancing its credibility and reach. The coalition targets Dutch society broadly, including government, businesses, and citizens concerned with digital privacy. Growth indicators include an expanding list of co-signatories and active engagement channels. The coalition's operations emphasize transparency and collaboration, positioning it well within the privacy advocacy niche.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enabled, and domain transfer is restricted, which are positive indicators. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No forms or data collection mechanisms reduce exposure to input-based vulnerabilities. The lack of published privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, limiting transparency in security management. Overall, the security posture is adequate for an informational advocacy site but requires improvements to align with best practices and regulatory expectations.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Implement DNSSEC to enhance domain name system security.
  3. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Establish and publish an incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy, including a security contact email.
  5. Consider adding minimal analytics with privacy-respecting configurations to monitor site usage and improve user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using standard HTML5, CSS3, Bootstrap 5, and jQuery 3.6.0, indicating a modern but straightforward frontend technology stack. No CMS or backend technologies are detected, suggesting a static or simple server-rendered site. Hosting is provided by Combell NV, a reputable provider. The site is mobile responsive with good navigation and SEO meta tags. Performance is moderate, with no heavy scripts or external dependencies detected. Accessibility is basic but functional. The absence of analytics and tracking scripts aligns with the coalition's privacy focus but limits data-driven improvements. Technical risks are low but could be mitigated by adding security headers and DNSSEC.
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.
