Bouwen met Staal · Manufacturing · Netherlands

High risk. 11 critical or high findings in GDPR outside view, Security headers and 3 other checks.

Security score

42/100

Risk levelHigh

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

Bouwen met Staal organizes the annual Staalbouwdag event, a leading Dutch trade fair and congress focused on steel construction. The event targets decision-makers across the steel and construction sectors, offering networking, knowledge sharing, and showcasing innovations. The website is professionally designed using WordPress and the Divi theme, with good SEO practices and structured data implementation. However, it lacks privacy and cookie policies, and the Google Analytics plugin is installed but not configured. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS but missing security headers and incident response information. Overall, the site is trustworthy and serves its business purpose well but should improve compliance and security transparency.

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

11 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

  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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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';…

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 Staalbouwdag event positions itself as a key national platform for the steel construction industry in the Netherlands, attracting a broad professional audience including architects, engineers, contractors, and suppliers. Its business model revolves around event organization, sponsorship, and exhibitor participation. The company leverages partnerships with industry players such as ArcelorMittal (evidenced by advertising links). Growth indicators include annual editions with increasing digital content like videos and presentations. The website supports multilingual registration, indicating an international outreach. The absence of privacy and cookie policies is a notable compliance gap.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, ensuring encrypted communications. However, no explicit security headers (e.g., CSP, X-Frame-Options) were detected in the HTML content, which could expose the site to certain web attacks. The absence of a security.txt file and incident response contacts limits transparency for vulnerability reporting. The Google Analytics plugin is present but not configured, reducing tracking risks but also indicating incomplete setup. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerabilities were found in the content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced with standard web security best practices and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Implement a cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Create and publish a security.txt file with vulnerability disclosure and incident response contacts.
  5. Complete configuration of Google Analytics or remove the plugin if not used to avoid unnecessary tracking.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using the Divi theme, a popular and flexible CMS platform. It uses modern web fonts from Google Fonts and jQuery for frontend scripting. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good navigation clarity. Performance is moderate, with minified CSS and JS assets cached. SEO is enhanced by Yoast SEO plugin and structured data in JSON-LD format. However, some technical debt is indicated by unused or unconfigured plugins (e.g., ExactMetrics). Accessibility is basic but could be improved with ARIA roles and better keyboard navigation support. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found in the content.
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.
