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

Uitgeester Notariaat is a specialized notary office operating in the Netherlands, focusing on family law, real estate, and estate planning services. The business operates two locations, in Uitgeest and Purmerend, providing modern and accessible notarial services to individuals and families. Their website is professionally designed, well-structured, and optimized for search engines, reflecting a strong local market presence. The company offers direct quote requests and client dossier management, enhancing customer engagement and service efficiency. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using popular plugins such as WPBakery and Yoast SEO, ensuring a modern and maintainable infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized and performs moderately well, with good accessibility and SEO practices. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS and uses secure forms with privacy agreements, but lacks advanced security headers and explicit security policies. Privacy compliance is partially addressed with a comprehensive privacy policy but lacks cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, the website and business demonstrate a high level of professionalism and trustworthiness, with room for improvement in security and privacy 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

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. 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: 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

The company positions itself as a local leader in notarial services for family law and real estate, targeting individuals and families in the Netherlands. Their business model includes direct client engagement through online quote requests and dossier access, indicating a client-centric approach. The partnership with Waterland Notariaat suggests a broader regional presence. The website content and structure support clear communication of services and trust signals such as testimonials. The company appears to be a small-sized professional office with a focused service portfolio and a modern digital presence. Their marketing and analytics usage is minimal but effective for their scale. No evidence of large-scale partnerships or subsidiaries was found, indicating an independent operation with strategic local partnerships.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good baseline security posture with HTTPS enforced and secure form handling including mandatory privacy agreement acceptance. However, it lacks implementation of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, which could mitigate common web attacks. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, and no dedicated contact channels for security incidents are provided. The absence of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file limits transparency for security researchers. The site uses third-party plugins which should be regularly audited to prevent vulnerabilities. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small professional service website but could be enhanced to meet higher compliance and security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to improve protection against common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to fully comply with GDPR requirements.
  3. Publish explicit security and incident response policies, including dedicated contact channels for security issues.
  4. Introduce a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Regularly audit and update all third-party plugins and themes to mitigate risks from vulnerable components.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with WPBakery Page Builder and Yoast SEO plugin, indicating a modern and widely supported technology stack. It uses jQuery and FontAwesome for UI elements and Burst Statistics for analytics. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate, with some room for optimization. Accessibility is basic but functional. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. The site uses HTTPS with valid SSL certificates, ensuring secure data transmission. No critical technical debt or outdated technologies were detected, but security enhancements are recommended.
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.
