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

  2. 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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: RPC

      Port 135 (RPC) is publicly accessible - RPC - Windows RPC endpoint

      What to do: Consider restricting access to RPC or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network 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

The company operates in the media sector, focusing on employer branding and recruitment marketing. Their business model is service-oriented, targeting employers and talents in the Dutch labor market. The presence of multiple client case studies and logos indicates a solid client base and market trust. The website's content and structure suggest a focus on quality and strategic communication, leveraging behavioral insights and integrated talent journeys. The company appears to be small-sized with a specialized niche, without indications of subsidiaries or parent companies. The use of advanced marketing and analytics tools reflects a mature digital marketing approach. No direct revenue streams or pricing models are disclosed on the site.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses cookie consent mechanisms, indicating awareness of privacy and security best practices. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options in the HTML content is a gap that could be addressed to enhance security. The use of multiple third-party scripts increases the attack surface and requires ongoing monitoring. No incident response or security policy information is published, which could be improved to demonstrate security maturity. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from additional hardening and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy) to improve defense in depth.
  2. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to enhance trust and preparedness.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to minimize vulnerabilities.
  4. Consider adding a terms of service page to clarify user and client agreements.
  5. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies to ensure ongoing GDPR compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Concepts2Go CMS platform and uses a modern tech stack including jQuery, Vue.js, GSAP animations, and Lottie for SVG animations. It integrates Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Clarity, and Leadinfo for analytics and marketing. Cookiebot is used for cookie consent management. The site loads multiple external scripts from trusted CDNs and marketing platforms. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The site structure is clear with well-organized navigation and content sections. There is room for improvement in accessibility and security header implementation.
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.
