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
6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.
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.

Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Business context
Business profile
The business operates in the government and compliance sector, offering essential background check services primarily targeting Dutch residents and employers requiring VOG certificates. Its business model is based on acting as an intermediary and service provider for VOG applications, streamlining the traditionally bureaucratic process through digital means. The company benefits from strategic partnerships and certifications that enhance credibility and market reach. Its revenue streams likely include application fees and employer service contracts. The presence of multiple media mentions and certifications indicates a mature and reputable operation with growth potential in digital government services.
Security posture
The website maintains a strong security posture with HTTPS enforced, integration of Google reCAPTCHA to prevent automated abuse, and adherence to ISO 27001 standards. Security headers are properly implemented, and no sensitive data is exposed in the HTML content. However, the absence of a public security.txt file and incident response contact information represents a gap in vulnerability disclosure and incident management transparency. Overall, the platform demonstrates good compliance with GDPR and security best practices, minimizing risk exposure.
Recommendations
Publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
Regularly review and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate vulnerabilities.
Enhance transparency by detailing data retention policies and security measures on the website.
Consider implementing additional user security features such as multi-factor authentication for account management.
Automated reading of the public site. Ratings are indicative.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on WordPress with Elementor as the page builder, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery and Google reCAPTCHA v3 for bot protection. It employs LiteSpeed Cache for performance optimization and is mobile responsive with excellent SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. The site loads quickly and is well-structured for accessibility. No critical technical debt or outdated components were detected. Hosting details are not explicitly disclosed but performance and security configurations suggest a professional hosting environment.
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.
