Risk levelMedium

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

Prodex is a Dutch company specializing in connecting technical talent with valuable work opportunities, primarily focusing on developing operators and technical professionals through training and placement in industrial and technical sectors. The company operates a professional website built on WordPress, featuring a modern theme and SEO optimization tools, targeting candidates and companies in the Netherlands. The website provides clear contact information and showcases certifications that enhance trust. Technically, the site uses common WordPress plugins and frameworks but lacks advanced security headers and DNSSEC, indicating room for security improvements. Privacy compliance is weak due to the absence of explicit privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but could benefit from enhanced security and privacy 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

5 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Prodex holds a solid position in the Dutch technical staffing and training market, offering operator certification programs and consultancy services. Its business model revolves around talent development and placement, targeting both candidates seeking technical roles and companies requiring skilled operators. The company has been established since 2006, indicating market experience and stability. The website's content and social media presence support its credibility and outreach. However, the lack of detailed privacy and security policies may affect compliance perception. The company maintains partnerships and certifications that reinforce its market standing.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication, but lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and HSTS, which are important for mitigating common web attacks. DNSSEC is not enabled, which could expose DNS spoofing risks. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, limiting transparency in security management. The absence of privacy and cookie policies also indicates compliance gaps with GDPR. While no immediate vulnerabilities are visible, the security posture is basic and should be enhanced to meet modern standards.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to secure DNS queries and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement essential security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  4. Add an incident response page with contact details for security issues.
  5. Regularly audit and update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using the Enfold theme and several plugins such as Yoast SEO and WP Rocket, indicating a mature and SEO-friendly infrastructure. The site loads with moderate performance and is mobile-optimized. Accessibility features are basic but present. The use of lazy loading and minified CSS/JS improves performance. However, no advanced analytics or tracking scripts were detected, suggesting minimal user tracking. The technical stack is standard for a medium-sized business website, with opportunities to improve security and privacy configurations.
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.
