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

ProVeg Nederland is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting plant-based diets for the benefit of people, animals, and the planet. The website serves as an advocacy and educational platform targeting the Dutch-speaking audience in the Netherlands. It offers information and campaigns to encourage healthier and sustainable food choices. The organization appears to be relatively new, with domain registration dating from 2023, and positions itself as a recognized player in the non-profit advocacy sector. Technically, the website is built on WordPress CMS, utilizing modern plugins such as Yoast SEO Premium and Advanced Custom Fields Pro. It employs common frontend libraries like jQuery and Swiper for enhanced user experience. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, providing reliable performance and security. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly, though accessibility features are basic. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with a good SSL configuration and domain registrar protections to prevent unauthorized changes. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and there is a lack of published security policies or incident response contacts. Cookie consent is managed through Usercentrics CMP, indicating some level of privacy compliance, but no explicit privacy or terms of service pages were detected in the provided content. Overall, ProVeg Nederland's website demonstrates a solid foundation in content quality, technical implementation, and business credibility. To enhance trust and compliance, it should publish comprehensive privacy and security policies, enable DNSSEC, and provide clear contact information for incident response. These improvements will strengthen its security posture and user trust.

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. 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 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

      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

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

ProVeg Nederland operates in the non-profit sector focusing on plant-based food advocacy and education. Its business model revolves around awareness campaigns, educational content, and community engagement to promote sustainable and healthy eating habits. The organization targets a general audience interested in environmental and animal welfare issues, primarily within the Netherlands. The website reflects a medium-sized entity with consistent branding and a clear market position as a leading advocate for plant-based diets. Partnerships and collaborations are implied but not explicitly detailed in the content. Revenue streams likely include donations, memberships, and grants typical for non-profits. The digital presence is professional, supporting growth and outreach objectives.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and domain registrar protections active. The absence of DNSSEC and security headers represents areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. Cookie consent is implemented, supporting GDPR compliance, but no explicit privacy policy was found. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a non-profit but would benefit from enhanced DNS security, formalized policies, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms to align with best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing attacks.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to enhance legal compliance and user trust.
  3. Develop and display a security policy including incident response contacts to improve transparency and preparedness.
  4. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users and comply with accessibility standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform with premium SEO and custom fields plugins, indicating a well-maintained technical infrastructure. It uses Cloudflare for DNS and likely CDN services, contributing to moderate performance and security. Frontend technologies include jQuery and Swiper for interactive elements. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). However, the absence of DNSSEC and some security headers suggests technical debt in security hardening. The site’s performance is moderate, with room for optimization in loading speed and accessibility compliance. Overall, the technical setup supports the organization's digital goals but requires incremental improvements for enhanced security and user experience.
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.
