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

Veiligheidsregio Fryslân is a regional governmental safety authority in the Netherlands focused on crisis management, disaster preparedness, and public safety within the Fryslân region. The website serves as an official communication channel providing information about risks, crisis handling, and safety measures to residents and organizations in the region. It positions itself as a trusted public service entity with a clear mandate and regional focus. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including JavaScript ES modules, Piwik PRO analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Cookiebot for GDPR-compliant cookie consent management. Accessibility and mobile optimization are well addressed, and the site uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration. The presence of multiple analytics and tracking tools is balanced with user consent mechanisms, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses anti-CSRF cookies, but lacks explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options in the provided snippet. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in security governance. Overall, the website demonstrates a solid security posture and compliance with privacy regulations, suitable for a government entity. Recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing a security policy, and providing clear incident response contacts to further strengthen trust and compliance.

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

No critical or high findings. These medium findings are worth fixing next.

  1. 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.

    • Medium

      Missing X-XSS-Protection header

      Legacy XSS protection (deprecated but still recommended)

      What to do: Add "X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block"

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Medium

      Privacy policy may not be GDPR compliant

      Privacy policy lacks explicit GDPR compliance elements

      What to do: Update privacy policy to explicitly address GDPR requirements and user rights

  3. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Medium

      No DKIM record found

      DKIM adds cryptographic signatures to emails

      What to do: Configure DKIM with your email provider

    • Medium

      No MTA-STS Policy

      MTA-STS enforces TLS for email delivery

      What to do: Implement MTA-STS to prevent downgrade attacks

  4. 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.

    • Medium

      SSL Certificate Expires Within 90 Days

      SSL certificate expires in 76 days

      What to do: Plan SSL certificate renewal

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

Veiligheidsregio Fryslân operates as a regional government safety organization, providing essential public safety and crisis management services. Its market position is that of an official regional authority with a mandate to protect and inform the public. The business model is non-commercial, focused on public service delivery. The target audience includes residents, local businesses, emergency services, and governmental partners. The website supports this ecosystem by offering information, risk profiles, and guidance on crisis preparedness. Partnerships with analytics and consent providers like Piwik PRO and Cookiebot indicate a strategic approach to digital governance and compliance. Growth indicators are not explicit but the use of modern tools suggests ongoing digital maturity.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, use of anti-CSRF cookies, and GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanisms. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and absence of a public security policy or incident response contact represent compliance gaps. The site uses multiple third-party analytics and tracking services but manages user consent effectively. Incident response readiness is unclear due to missing contact channels. Overall, the security culture appears adequate but could benefit from enhanced transparency and formalized policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  4. Enhance transparency around data protection officer contact details and privacy governance.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy and security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript-based front-end with ES modules and integrates multiple analytics and consent management platforms such as Piwik PRO, Google Tag Manager, Cookiebot, Hotjar, and Monsido. The site is mobile optimized and accessible, with good SEO meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, likely due to multiple third-party scripts. No CMS or hosting provider details were explicitly found. Technical debt appears low, but opportunities exist to improve security headers and streamline third-party integrations for better performance and security.
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.
