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. 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

  2. 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

  3. 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 86 days

      What to do: Plan SSL certificate renewal

  4. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • Medium

      DNSSEC Not Enabled

      DNSSEC is not configured for this domain

      What to do: Enable DNSSEC to prevent DNS spoofing attacks

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 a governmental entity providing essential safety and crisis management services within Friesland. Its business model is public service oriented, funded and governed by regional authorities. The website supports this by offering comprehensive information on risk profiles, crisis preparation, and collaboration with partners. The presence of partner domains and references to regional safety initiatives indicates a strong ecosystem of cooperation. The use of multiple analytics and marketing tools suggests an interest in understanding user engagement and improving communication. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the homepage but presence of a contact page and forms aligns with typical government communication practices. The site’s content and navigation are tailored to residents and local organizations, reinforcing its regional focus and public service mission.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and a suite of security headers implemented, including HSTS, CSP, and X-Frame-Options. Cookie management is handled via Cookiebot, providing granular user consent options and transparency about cookie usage. Anti-CSRF cookies (.AspNetCore.Antiforgery) are present, indicating protection against common web attacks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the site lacks published security policies, incident response procedures, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, which are recommended best practices for transparency and user trust. The integration of third-party analytics and marketing scripts is managed with user consent, mitigating privacy risks. Overall, the site is secure but could enhance its security culture by publishing formal policies and contact channels for security incidents.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and user trust.
  2. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  3. Provide clear contact information for the Data Protection Officer or security team to facilitate communication regarding privacy or security concerns.
  4. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and analytics tools to ensure they do not introduce vulnerabilities or privacy risks.
  5. Enhance user trust by adding trust seals, certifications, or testimonials related to security and privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Umbraco CMS platform using ASP.NET Core, indicating a modern and scalable infrastructure. It employs Google Tag Manager for flexible analytics deployment and Cookiebot for GDPR-compliant cookie management. The site uses web fonts (Delta, Avenir) loaded via WOFF2 for performance and styling consistency. The presence of polyfills and client-side validation scripts suggests attention to cross-browser compatibility and form usability. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of analytics and consent scripts to minimize blocking. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive navigation menus and accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA roles. SEO is supported by canonical links, meta descriptions, and Open Graph tags, although some meta descriptions are empty and could be improved. Overall, the technical implementation is solid with room for minor enhancements in SEO metadata completeness.
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.
