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

5 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

      • 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. 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: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP 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

Tolkcontact holds a strong market position in the accessibility sector in the Netherlands, leveraging a network of over 700 interpreters and offering a comprehensive suite of services tailored to organizations and individuals requiring sign language communication. Their business model focuses on service provision with digital tools like the Tolkcontact-app enhancing accessibility. The association with Berengroep adds to their credibility and operational scale. Their target customers include government bodies, businesses, and the deaf community. The website's content and social media presence indicate active engagement and a commitment to accessibility advocacy. Growth potential lies in expanding digital interpreting services and increasing organizational partnerships.

Security posture

The website maintains a good security posture with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive data. Use of Matomo analytics with disabled cookies shows privacy-conscious tracking. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates gaps in transparency and preparedness. No WAF or blocking mechanisms were detected, and no vulnerable libraries were found in the scripts. Security headers are not explicitly visible in the HTML but may be configured at the server level. Overall, the security maturity is moderate to good but could benefit from enhanced policy disclosures and cookie consent implementation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a visible cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and EU cookie laws.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Audit and ensure all recommended security headers are properly configured and documented.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance by clearly communicating data retention policies and user rights.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using the Elementor page builder and Yoast SEO plugin, indicating a modern and maintainable infrastructure. JavaScript libraries include jQuery and Matomo for analytics, with asynchronous script loading to optimize performance. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO metadata and structured data (JSON-LD) implemented. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in caching and asset optimization. No deprecated or vulnerable libraries were detected. The technical stack supports scalability and ease of content management, suitable for the organization's service delivery needs.
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.
