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

Van Munster Media is a small media company based in the Netherlands specializing in niche market publishing and creative media services. Their business model focuses on providing advertising opportunities through their own media brands and offering a broad range of digital and creative services such as graphic design, web design, video production, and business development consultancy. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand presence targeting advertisers and niche audiences. Technically, the site uses modern JavaScript libraries and web fonts but lacks advanced frameworks or CMS indications. The Google Analytics script is present but commented out, suggesting privacy considerations or development status. Security posture is basic with no visible security headers or HTTPS verification in the provided data. Privacy and cookie policies are absent, which is a compliance gap. No contact information or forms are present on the homepage, limiting user engagement and trust signals. Overall, the site is functional and professional but requires improvements in security, privacy compliance, and contact transparency to enhance trust and regulatory adherence.

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

9 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"

      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1

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

Van Munster Media operates in the media sector with a focus on niche markets, leveraging specialized content brands to attract advertisers. Their competitive advantage lies in their multimedial approach and deep knowledge of niche topics such as embroidery, football, and automotive. The business model combines publishing with creative service offerings, generating revenue from advertising and client projects. The target customers are advertisers seeking exposure in niche markets and businesses needing creative media services. The company appears to be small in size with no parent or subsidiary companies indicated. The website content suggests a stable but modest market presence with opportunities for growth through enhanced digital marketing and service expansion.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with no detected HTTPS enforcement or security headers in the provided HTML content. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates non-compliance with GDPR and related regulations. No incident response or security contact information is provided, limiting the ability to report or respond to security issues. The commented-out Google Analytics script suggests some privacy awareness but no active consent mechanism is present. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were detected, but the lack of security best practices and policies represents a risk. Overall, the security maturity is low to moderate, requiring significant improvements to meet industry standards and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate and enforce secure connections site-wide.
  2. Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance and user consent mechanisms.
  3. Include visible and verified contact information including emails and phone numbers for customer and security incident reporting.
  4. Deploy security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  5. Conduct a security audit to identify and remediate any vulnerable libraries or potential security weaknesses.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a simple technical stack with jQuery 3.6.0 and imagesloaded for UI functionality and Typekit for fonts. The Google Analytics script is present but commented out, indicating either development or privacy considerations. The site does not appear to use a CMS or advanced frameworks. Performance is moderate with basic mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO optimization is basic with meta tags and Open Graph tags present but no structured data or advanced SEO techniques. The site lacks visible security headers and HTTPS enforcement in the provided data. Overall, the technical implementation is functional but could benefit from modernization, improved security, and enhanced SEO and accessibility practices.
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.
