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

Veiligheids-en-Gezondheidsregio Gelderland Midden (VGGM) is a regional governmental organization focused on public health, safety, and crisis management within the Gelderland Midden region of the Netherlands. The website serves as an informational and service portal for residents, government agencies, and emergency services. It provides key services related to health and safety coordination and crisis response. The domain is well-established since 2009, indicating a stable presence in the region. Technically, the website is built on a modern Angular framework with integrations of Google Tag Manager, Matomo analytics, and Microsoft Clarity for user behavior tracking. The site is mobile-optimized and uses HTTPS with DNSSEC enabled, reflecting a good level of digital maturity. However, some improvements could be made in accessibility and SEO optimization. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and DNSSEC but lacks explicit security headers and published security policies such as privacy policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure. Cookie consent mechanisms are implemented, showing some compliance with privacy regulations. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious activities were detected. Overall, VGGM's website is professional and trustworthy, with room for enhancement in privacy compliance and security best practices. Strategic recommendations include publishing comprehensive privacy and security policies, implementing security headers, and improving accessibility to strengthen user trust and regulatory 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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  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.

    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

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

VGGM operates as a regional government entity in the public health and safety sector, serving the Gelderland Midden area. Its market position is that of a key regional authority coordinating health and safety efforts. The business model is public service-oriented, funded by government budgets. The target audience includes local residents, healthcare providers, emergency responders, and governmental bodies. The organization benefits from a stable domain registration and consistent branding. The lack of commercial advertising or affiliate programs aligns with its governmental nature. Partnerships with analytics and tracking providers are standard for digital service optimization. Growth indicators are not explicit but the long domain age and modern tech stack suggest ongoing digital investment.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS and DNSSEC enabled, which are foundational security measures. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security robustness. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The site lacks published incident response contacts or vulnerability disclosure policies, which are important for transparency and rapid response to security issues. Cookie consent is implemented, supporting privacy compliance. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for a government informational site but could be improved with additional security controls and policies.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page detailing data processing and GDPR compliance.
  2. Implement and configure security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  3. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Provide clear incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards and improve user inclusivity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Angular framework with modern front-end technologies including Google Fonts and Font Awesome icons. Analytics are handled via Matomo, Microsoft Clarity, and Google Tag Manager, indicating a focus on user behavior insights. The site is mobile responsive and loads with moderate performance. No common CMS detected, suggesting a custom-built solution. Hosting provider details are not explicit. The site uses DNSSEC and HTTPS, which are positive technical security indicators. There is some technical debt in missing security headers and incomplete privacy documentation. Opportunities exist to improve SEO metadata and accessibility compliance to enhance discoverability and user 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.
