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

Vink BV is a Belgian company specializing in plastics materials and processing solutions, targeting professional customers in manufacturing and related sectors. The company offers a broad range of products including fiberglass reinforced plastics, adhesives, and custom cutting services, supported by an online webshop called MyVink. Their market position is that of an established medium-sized player with nearly 30 years of experience, emphasizing quality and sustainability, as evidenced by their ISO 9001:2015 certification and EcoShift recycling program. Technically, the website is well-structured, mobile-optimized, and integrates modern marketing and analytics tools such as Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and LinkedIn Insight Tag. Privacy compliance is well addressed with a clear privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced, but lacks visible security headers and explicit incident response information. WHOIS data is restricted due to .be domain policies, limiting transparency but not indicating suspicious activity. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and business-focused with room for security enhancements.

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

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  2. 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';…

  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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

Vink BV operates in the manufacturing sector, focusing on plastics supply and processing services. Their business model is B2B, serving professionals who require quality plastics materials and custom solutions. The company leverages an online webshop to facilitate orders and technical information access, indicating digital maturity. Their partnership ecosystem includes specialized sites for plastics processing and healthcare applications, enhancing their market reach. The presence of ISO certification and sustainability initiatives like EcoShift reflect a commitment to quality and environmental responsibility. The company targets a regional market in Belgium with medium-sized operations. Growth indicators include continuous investment in knowledge sharing and training. Strategic observations suggest a stable business with potential to expand digital services and improve security transparency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent implemented, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces defense-in-depth. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The lack of published incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies indicates a gap in security governance. Data protection officer contact information is not provided, which may be a compliance concern. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but could be improved by adopting additional security best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish an incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy to improve security governance and customer trust.
  3. Provide explicit contact information for security incidents, including a dedicated security or abuse email address.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy and security risks.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct periodic security assessments to maintain compliance and resilience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, and Mailchimp for marketing and analytics. It loads asynchronously to optimize performance and includes a cookie consent banner for privacy compliance. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and clear navigation. No CMS or hosting provider information was detected from the HTML. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in loading speed and accessibility. The lack of visible security headers and WHOIS transparency are technical risks that should be addressed. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports business needs but requires enhancements in security and transparency.
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.
