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

Veiligheidsregio Amsterdam-Amstelland is a regional government entity responsible for coordinating public safety, emergency services, and crisis management within the Amsterdam-Amstelland area. The organization collaborates with municipalities, fire departments, medical services, police, and other public and private safety partners to manage risks and prepare for emergencies. Their website serves as an information hub for residents and stakeholders, providing news, safety tips, and contact information. The website is built on the IPROX CMS platform, a specialized content management system for large-scale government web environments, hosted by Hostnet B.V. The technical infrastructure is modern and supports mobile responsiveness, accessibility, and SEO best practices. The site uses HTTPS with DNSSEC enabled, ensuring secure and trustworthy connections. Google Analytics is implemented with privacy-conscious settings such as IP anonymization and forced SSL. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and DNSSEC, but the site lacks explicit published security policies or incident response contacts. Cookie consent is implemented in compliance with Dutch and EU regulations. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious content were detected. Overall, the site reflects a professional and credible government digital presence with room for improvement in security transparency and vulnerability disclosure.

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.

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 organization operates as an essential government entity focused on public safety and crisis management. Its market position is that of a regional authority with a mandate to coordinate multiple safety partners. The business model is service-oriented, funded by public resources, targeting residents and local stakeholders. The website supports communication and transparency, with active social media channels enhancing community engagement. The domain age and registration details align with the entity's operational timeline. There is no indication of commercial activities or subsidiaries. The site content and structure support trust and reliability, critical for government services.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and DNSSEC enabled, reducing risks of interception and DNS spoofing. The cookie consent mechanism aligns with GDPR requirements. However, the absence of published security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms limits transparency and preparedness perception. No security headers were detected in the provided data, which could be improved to mitigate common web attacks. The use of a reputable CMS platform and hosting provider adds to the security baseline. Overall, the site is secure but could enhance its security communication and controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and frameworks.
  2. Add incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and configure HTTP security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and analytics tools to minimize vulnerabilities.

The hosting provider is Hostnet B.V., a Dutch company consistent with the website's regional focus. The site employs modern web standards including responsive CSS, JavaScript, and meta tags for SEO and accessibility. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected.

Opportunities exist to enhance security headers and publish more comprehensive security documentation.
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.
