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

VSBfonds is a Dutch non-profit organization dedicated to funding social and cultural projects as well as providing study scholarships. The website clearly targets individuals and organizations seeking financial support for social and cultural initiatives in the Netherlands. The business model is grant-based, focusing on supporting community and educational development. The site is professionally designed with consistent branding and good content relevance, reflecting a medium-sized non-profit entity with a strong market position in its sector. Technically, the website employs a modern technology stack including jQuery, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar, and Cookiebot for consent management. The site is mobile-optimized and performs moderately well, with good SEO and basic accessibility features. Hosting details are not explicitly identified, but the infrastructure supports HTTPS and standard web technologies. From a security perspective, the website enforces HTTPS and uses CSRF tokens in forms, indicating a good baseline security posture. Cookie consent is managed via Cookiebot, ensuring GDPR compliance. However, some security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not explicitly detected and could be improved. There is no visible security policy or incident response contact information, and no vulnerability disclosure mechanism is present. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professionally maintained with strong privacy compliance and business credibility. The main risks relate to enhancing security headers and publishing formal security policies. Strategic recommendations include implementing additional security headers, establishing a vulnerability disclosure policy, and providing explicit incident response contacts to strengthen trust and 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 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';…
  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

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

VSBfonds operates as a grant-making non-profit focused on social and cultural projects and scholarships in the Netherlands. Its competitive advantage lies in its established reputation and targeted funding approach. The business model relies on funding distribution rather than commercial sales. The target customers are social entrepreneurs, cultural organizations, and students. The website ecosystem integrates marketing and analytics tools to optimize outreach and engagement. Growth indicators are not explicitly stated but implied by the professional digital presence. Partnerships with major platforms like Google and Meta for advertising and analytics are evident, supporting effective marketing strategies.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of CSRF tokens to protect forms. Cookie consent is managed with a reputable third-party service (Cookiebot), supporting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. No direct contact for security incidents or vulnerability disclosure is provided, which could hinder incident response effectiveness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. Overall, the security culture appears adequate but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce additional security headers including Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options to mitigate clickjacking and XSS risks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and provide dedicated contact channels for incident reporting and vulnerability disclosures.
  3. Establish a security.txt file or equivalent vulnerability disclosure mechanism to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerable versions are in use.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of jQuery, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar, and Cookiebot, indicating a modern but somewhat traditional tech stack. The presence of asynchronous loading for analytics and consent scripts suggests performance optimization efforts. The site is mobile responsive and uses Google Fonts and Adobe Typekit for typography. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Hosting provider details are not disclosed, but HTTPS and SSL configurations are good. The site could improve by adopting newer JavaScript frameworks or CMS platforms for enhanced scalability and maintainability.
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.
