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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

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 within the government sector, focusing on public safety and emergency management. Its business model is non-commercial, funded by governmental budgets, and it collaborates closely with partners such as Brandweer Zeeland and GHOR Zeeland. The website supports recruitment efforts and public communication, indicating a strategic approach to community engagement and workforce development. The presence of a responsible disclosure page suggests a proactive stance on security and transparency.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and implements cookie consent mechanisms, reflecting good security hygiene. While no explicit security policy or data protection officer contact details were found, the presence of a responsible disclosure page is a positive indicator. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Security headers were not explicitly identified in the provided data, suggesting room for improvement. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from enhanced transparency and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  2. Provide clear contact details for the Data Protection Officer to enhance GDPR compliance.
  3. Implement a security.txt file to formalize vulnerability disclosure processes.
  4. Add and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery Slick slider and Featherlight for UI components. Google Tag Manager and CookieFirst are used for analytics and consent management, respectively. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices evident from meta tags and structured navigation. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in loading speed. Hosting details were not explicitly identified, but the site uses HTTPS with an excellent SSL configuration. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a reliable and user-friendly experience.
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.
