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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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 platform operates as a non-profit initiative under Patiëntenfederatie Nederland, targeting patients and healthcare providers in the Netherlands. Its business model centers on providing transparent healthcare provider information through verified patient ratings and choice tools. The extensive partner ecosystem includes many patient organizations and healthcare entities, enhancing credibility and reach. The website's content quality and navigation support user engagement and trust. While revenue streams are not explicitly detailed, the platform likely benefits from partnerships and service packages for healthcare providers. Growth indicators include a large volume of patient ratings and active content updates. Strategic observations suggest maintaining and expanding partnerships and enhancing security transparency could further strengthen market position.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and no visible exposure of sensitive data. Cookie consent is actively managed, aligning with GDPR requirements. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response information, and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options represents areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or malicious content were detected in the analysis. The use of third-party scripts like Google Tag Manager is standard but should be regularly audited. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by formalizing policies and improving header configurations to mitigate potential risks.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response and abuse contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Implement additional security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and dependencies to minimize security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including JavaScript frameworks, Bootstrap for responsive design, and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. The HTML structure is valid and accessibility features such as ARIA attributes and keyboard navigation aids are present. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, but mobile responsiveness and SEO practices are well implemented. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Technical risks are minimal, though continuous monitoring and updates are recommended to maintain security and performance standards.
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.
