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.

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.

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.

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
DDMA operates as a non-profit association in the marketing sector, focusing on privacy compliance and data protection standards. Its business model revolves around providing certifications, guidelines, and tools like the Privacy Waarborg to help organizations demonstrate responsible data handling. The association benefits from a strong market position in the Netherlands, with a medium-sized organizational footprint and a clear focus on GDPR compliance. The website content and metadata emphasize transparency and trust, targeting marketing professionals and organizations that process personal data. The lack of direct contact information on this page suggests contact details may be centralized elsewhere on the site. The use of reputable hosting and DNSSEC enhances trustworthiness. DDMA's ecosystem likely includes partnerships with privacy and marketing technology providers, though no explicit partner domains were identified on this page.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and DNSSEC enabled, reducing risks of interception and DNS spoofing. Cookie consent is managed via Cookiebot with personalization and ad tracking denied by default, reflecting strong privacy controls. However, no explicit security headers were detected in the provided data, and no published security policy or incident response contacts were found, which are areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified. The use of common third-party scripts like Google Tag Manager and FontAwesome is standard but requires ongoing monitoring for vulnerabilities. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be enhanced by adding security headers, publishing a security policy, and establishing a vulnerability disclosure program.
Recommendations
Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance protection against common web attacks.
Publish a dedicated security policy page including incident response procedures and contact channels for security issues.
Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance with accessibility standards and user experience for all visitors.
Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate risks from vulnerable libraries.

Notes
The website is built on WordPress, leveraging standard web technologies including jQuery, Google Tag Manager, and Cookiebot for analytics and cookie consent management. The presence of DNSSEC and HTTPS indicates a secure hosting environment provided by team.blue nl B.V. Performance is moderate, with good mobile optimization and SEO practices evident from meta tags and structured data. The site uses FontAwesome for icons and includes modern CSS and JavaScript assets. There is no indication of technical debt or deprecated technologies in the provided data. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and security headers to further modernize the technical infrastructure and enhance resilience.
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.
