Stichting Reclame Code is a Dutch non-profit organization responsible for applying and enforcing the Dutch Advertising Code. The website serves as a platform for consumers, advertisers, and influencers to file complaints, access rulings, and obtain training and advice related to advertising compliance. The organization holds a strong market position as the primary authority on advertising standards in the Netherlands, with clear affiliations to European self-regulatory bodies. Technically, the website is built on the Umbraco CMS platform, leveraging modern web technologies such as Bootstrap and Google Tag Manager. The site is well-structured, mobile-optimized, and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and relevant content. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS and secure forms but lacks visible security headers and explicit incident response or security policies. Privacy compliance is partially addressed with a privacy policy but lacks a cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and serves its regulatory purpose effectively.

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

4 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 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

  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 Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

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

The Stichting Reclame Code operates in the non-profit sector focused on advertising regulation and compliance. Its business model revolves around self-regulation enforcement, complaint handling, and providing advisory services including training and influencer monitoring. The organization targets Dutch consumers, advertisers, and content creators, positioning itself as a trusted authority in advertising ethics. The website reflects a medium-sized organization with consistent branding and clear contact information. Partnerships with European advertising bodies enhance its credibility. Revenue streams likely include membership fees, training services, and advisory contracts. The digital presence supports transparency and accessibility, although there is room for enhanced privacy and security disclosures.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and secure form validation. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces its defense-in-depth posture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of publicly available incident response or security policies indicates a gap in transparency and preparedness. GDPR compliance is partially met with a privacy policy but no cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a non-profit regulatory site but could be improved by implementing recommended headers, explicit security policies, and cookie consent.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a visible cookie consent banner to comply fully with GDPR and ePrivacy regulations.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and ensure compliance.
  5. Consider appointing and publishing Data Protection Officer contact details to strengthen data protection governance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack centered on Umbraco CMS, Bootstrap for responsive design, and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. The HTML structure is valid and well-organized, supporting good SEO and accessibility standards. Performance is moderate, with lazy loading of images and asynchronous script loading. The site is mobile-optimized and provides a clear navigation structure with dropdown menus and quick access sections. There is no evidence of technical debt or outdated libraries. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and implement cookie consent mechanisms to align with best practices and regulatory requirements.
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.
