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

No critical or high findings. These medium findings are worth fixing next.

  1. GDPR outside view

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

    • Medium

      Privacy policy may not be GDPR compliant

      Privacy policy lacks explicit GDPR compliance elements

      What to do: Update privacy policy to explicitly address GDPR requirements and user rights

  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.

    • Medium

      No MTA-STS Policy

      MTA-STS enforces TLS for email delivery

      What to do: Implement MTA-STS to prevent downgrade attacks

  3. 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.

    • Medium

      SSL Certificate Expires Within 90 Days

      SSL certificate expires in 44 days

      What to do: Plan SSL certificate renewal

  4. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • Medium

      DNSSEC Not Enabled

      DNSSEC is not configured for this domain

      What to do: Enable DNSSEC to prevent DNS spoofing attacks

      • CAPEC-142
      • RFC 4033
      • RFC 4035
    • Medium

      Domain Transfer Lock Not Enabled

      Domain can be transferred without authorization

      What to do: Enable domain transfer lock for security

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

ProRail holds a strong market position as the essential infrastructure manager for Dutch railways, operating in the transportation sector. Its business model revolves around infrastructure management and maintenance, serving both passenger and freight transport markets. The company leverages partnerships with technology providers for analytics and user engagement. The website content and technical setup indicate a mature digital presence, supporting transparency and compliance with privacy regulations. Growth indicators include the use of advanced consent management and accessibility tools, reflecting a commitment to user experience and regulatory adherence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of cookie consent management to control tracking, and integration of privacy-respecting notification services. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. Compliance with GDPR is supported by the consent banner and blocking mode, but explicit privacy policy documentation was not found in the provided content. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by publishing detailed security and incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the website footer or main navigation.
  2. Add a dedicated security policy page including incident response procedures and contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  5. Enhance transparency by providing clear contact information including phone numbers and physical addresses.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript-based frontend with module preloading and asynchronous script loading to optimize performance. Cookiebot is used for GDPR-compliant cookie consent management with blocking mode enabled, ensuring user privacy. Google Tag Manager and OneSignal are integrated for analytics and push notifications, respectively. Accessibility is enhanced with ReadSpeaker scripts for text-to-speech functionality. The site is mobile-optimized and uses responsive design techniques. No CMS or hosting provider information was explicitly detected. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed by optimizing third-party scripts. The technical infrastructure supports a professional and user-friendly experience but could benefit from explicit security header declarations and enhanced documentation.
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.
