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

4 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

    • 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

  2. 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

The VriendenLoterij operates in the non-profit lottery sector in the Netherlands, targeting Dutch consumers interested in lottery participation with a charitable impact. Its business model centers on lottery ticket sales with a significant portion of proceeds supporting good causes. The company maintains partnerships with charitable funds and related lottery entities such as the Postcode Loterij. The website supports user engagement through VIP-KAART offers, prize information, and customer service. The presence of multiple marketing and analytics integrations indicates a data-driven approach to customer acquisition and retention. The organization appears large and established, with a clear market position and strong trust signals including official licensing and transparent policies.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive data in the HTML content. The use of a consent management platform ensures compliance with cookie regulations. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection are not evident in the HTML source, representing an area for improvement. Third-party scripts are used extensively, which necessitates ongoing vulnerability management. No critical vulnerabilities or security incidents are apparent from the analysis. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by implementing additional HTTP security headers and continuous monitoring.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce a strict Content-Security-Policy header to mitigate XSS and data injection risks.
  2. Add X-Frame-Options and X-XSS-Protection headers to improve defense against clickjacking and cross-site scripting.
  3. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to identify and remediate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance transparency by publishing a security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  5. Maintain and update privacy and cookie consent mechanisms to align with evolving GDPR and ePrivacy regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack featuring Vue.js for reactive components, RequireJS for module loading, and Enonic CMS as the content platform. It integrates multiple third-party services for analytics, marketing, and user experience optimization, including Google Tag Manager, Hotjar, VWO, and Usercentrics CMP. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and uses lazy loading for images to improve performance. While the performance is moderate, there is room for optimization in script loading and caching strategies. The technical implementation is robust, supporting a rich user experience and scalable content management. Opportunities exist to enhance security headers and streamline third-party dependencies to reduce attack surface.
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.
