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

Webwiki.nl is a Dutch-focused website search engine that aggregates website information, user reviews, and popularity rankings to help consumers find reliable websites and avoid scams. The platform targets Dutch internet users and webmasters, providing a niche service within the search engine market. The website is currently undergoing ownership transition and redesign, which may affect some functionalities temporarily. Technically, the site uses standard web technologies including Bootstrap, jQuery, Google Fonts, and Google advertising and analytics services. It implements a GDPR-compliant consent management platform to handle user privacy preferences. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enforced and no visible critical vulnerabilities, but lacks publicly disclosed security policies or incident response contacts. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and compliant with privacy regulations, though it could improve transparency and security documentation.

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

8 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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';…

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

Webwiki operates as a specialized search engine focusing on Dutch and some English websites, leveraging a popularity algorithm and user reviews to differentiate itself. Its business model centers on advertising revenue through Google Ad Manager and related networks. The site serves consumers seeking trustworthy websites and webmasters wanting to list their sites. Its partnership ecosystem includes multiple international Webwiki domains tailored to different countries and languages. The platform's growth potential lies in expanding its user base and improving its technical and security infrastructure. However, the ongoing ownership change introduces some operational uncertainty. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers may limit user trust and engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and a consent management platform for GDPR compliance. No critical security headers or advanced security policies are explicitly disclosed in the HTML content. There is no visible security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy, and no incident response contacts are provided. The site does not expose sensitive data or use outdated vulnerable libraries based on the provided scripts. However, the lack of explicit security documentation and incident response readiness represents a compliance gap. The site should enhance its security posture by publishing security policies, providing clear incident response contacts, and regularly auditing third-party components.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response plan on the website.
  2. Implement and disclose a vulnerability disclosure program including a security.txt file.
  3. Provide direct contact information for security incidents such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
  5. Regularly update and audit third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

Webwiki.nl uses a conventional technology stack with Bootstrap 3.3.4 and jQuery 1.11.1, which are somewhat dated but still functional. The site integrates Google Fonts and Google Tag Manager for analytics and advertising, including Google Ad Manager and DoubleClick. Performance is moderate with standard responsive design and mobile optimization. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The site lacks a detected CMS, suggesting a custom or lightweight platform. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Technical risks include reliance on older JavaScript libraries and limited security header visibility. Modernization opportunities include upgrading to newer frameworks and enhancing security headers and policies.
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.
