SMK is a Dutch non-profit foundation with over 30 years of experience dedicated to developing, managing, and testing sustainability criteria and certification schemes. The organization collaborates with a broad network including governments, producers, industry associations, NGOs, retailers, consultants, academia, and supply chain partners. Their key services include certification scheme development, compliance auditing, sustainability benchmarking, and communication support for sustainability programs. The website reflects a well-established entity with a clear mission and professional presentation.
Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern web technologies such as jQuery, Google Tag Manager, and Google Maps API integration. The site is mobile optimized with good SEO practices and a consistent branding approach. Performance is moderate, and accessibility is basic but functional. No major technical debts or outdated libraries were detected.
From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data. However, it lacks advanced security headers and does not provide a public vulnerability disclosure or incident response policy. Privacy compliance is partial; while a privacy policy is present and GDPR compliant, there is no cookie consent mechanism visible. Contact information is available via a contact form but lacks direct emails or phone numbers. The WHOIS data is consistent with the website's claims, showing a legitimate and transparent registration.
Overall, SMK's website presents a trustworthy and professional digital presence with room for improvement in privacy compliance and security transparency. Strategic enhancements in security headers, cookie consent, and incident response disclosures would strengthen their 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.

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.

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
SMK occupies a strong position in the sustainability certification sector in the Netherlands, leveraging decades of experience and a wide network of stakeholders. Their non-profit business model focuses on standard-setting and certification rather than commercial sales. The organization benefits from multiple recognized certification programs, enhancing its credibility and market reach. The website supports their mission by providing detailed information on services, programs, and news updates. The presence of multiple partner domains linked from the site indicates a collaborative ecosystem. Growth indicators include ongoing projects and active news updates. The lack of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a controlled communication approach, likely to manage inquiries efficiently.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS and no visible sensitive data leaks. The absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security represents an area for improvement. No known vulnerable libraries or exposed credentials were found. The lack of a public vulnerability disclosure or security policy page limits transparency and incident response readiness. Privacy compliance is partial; the privacy policy is comprehensive and GDPR compliant, but cookie consent mechanisms are missing. Incident response contact channels are not provided, which could delay handling of security incidents. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by adopting best practices and increasing transparency.
Recommendations
Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to harden the site against common attacks.
Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and ePrivacy regulations.
Publish a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt page to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
Develop and publish an incident response policy and provide dedicated contact channels for security incidents.
Include explicit contact information for a Data Protection Officer or privacy contact to improve trust and compliance.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using standard web technologies such as jQuery and Bootstrap. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and tracking, and Google Maps API is integrated for location services. The site loads with moderate performance and is mobile optimized with responsive design. SEO is well implemented with proper meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Accessibility is basic but functional. There is no indication of outdated or vulnerable libraries. The site could benefit from performance optimization and enhanced accessibility features to improve user experience further.
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.
