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

Roeien.nl is the official website of the Koninklijke Nederlandse Roeibond (KNRB), the Dutch national rowing federation. It serves as a comprehensive platform for news, stories, team information, event calendars, and partner promotions related to rowing in the Netherlands. The site targets rowing enthusiasts, athletes, clubs, and supporters of TeamNL Roeien, positioning itself as a key information and community hub within the Dutch rowing ecosystem. The business model is non-profit and partnership-driven, emphasizing sport promotion and community engagement. Technically, the website is built on WordPress, leveraging modern web technologies such as Google Tag Manager and Google Fonts. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, clear navigation, and solid SEO practices, although some accessibility features could be enhanced. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts to improve user experience. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS but lacks advanced security headers and a cookie consent mechanism, which are recommended for improved compliance and protection. No vulnerabilities or suspicious activities were detected. WHOIS data confirms a consistent and legitimate domain registration dating back to 1999, reinforcing trustworthiness. Overall, Roeien.nl is a professional, trustworthy, and content-rich website serving the Dutch rowing community effectively. Strategic improvements in security headers and privacy consent would further enhance its compliance and security posture.

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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  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 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';…
  3. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The KNRB holds a strong market position as the authoritative body for rowing in the Netherlands, supported by longstanding domain registration and reputable partnerships with entities like Nederlandse Loterij and Odido. Its business model focuses on sport promotion, event organization, and community engagement rather than direct commercial sales. Revenue streams likely include sponsorships, partnerships, and merchandise sales via the KNRB store. The target audience is well-defined, including athletes, clubs, and fans. The partnership ecosystem is robust, enhancing credibility and reach. Growth indicators include active news updates, event coverage, and social media engagement, reflecting a dynamic and well-managed organization.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, which is mandatory, but the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No incident response or security policy pages were found, indicating potential gaps in transparency and readiness. The site does not implement a cookie consent mechanism despite having a cookie policy, which may affect GDPR compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a non-commercial sports federation site but could benefit from enhancements to meet higher compliance and security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  3. Add a cookie consent mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  4. Publish explicit security and incident response policies to improve trust and preparedness.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with a custom theme 'roeien2020' and uses Google Fonts and Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking. The site loads asynchronously loaded JavaScript to improve performance. The HTML is well-structured with meta tags for viewport and social media (Open Graph and Twitter cards). The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and uses lazy loading for images to enhance performance. However, no advanced frameworks or modern JavaScript libraries were detected beyond standard WordPress and Google services. Hosting provider details are not explicit. The site performs moderately well but could improve accessibility and SEO further by adding ARIA roles and structured data (JSON-LD was not found).
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.
