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

1 finding 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.

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

VNOG operates as a critical public safety organization within the Dutch governmental framework, providing essential emergency services and crisis coordination. Its market position is stable as one of 25 official safety regions in the Netherlands. The business model is service-oriented, funded by government, focusing on risk prevention, emergency response, and public communication. The website reflects a mature digital presence with comprehensive content, strong branding, and partnerships with related safety initiatives. Growth indicators include active public engagement and cross-border cooperation. The organization maintains a trusted ecosystem with partners like local municipalities and emergency services.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and privacy-conscious analytics implementation. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the absence of a public security policy or vulnerability disclosure mechanism limits transparency. Incident response contact information is not explicitly provided, which could hinder timely reporting of security issues. Overall, the security maturity is high for a governmental site, but improvements in public-facing security documentation are recommended.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact channels for security issues.
  4. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and tracking tools for security and privacy compliance.
  5. Enhance transparency by including terms of service and data retention policies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10, leveraging modern front-end libraries such as Swiper.js and Font Awesome for UI components. Google Tag Manager and Consent Mode are used for analytics and privacy management. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in image delivery and script loading. The technical infrastructure aligns with best practices for governmental websites, though hosting provider details are not disclosed. No critical technical risks were identified, but ongoing maintenance and security updates are essential.
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.
