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

The Belgian Midwives Association website serves as the official online presence for a professional healthcare organization representing midwives in Belgium. The site provides resources and information targeted at midwives and related stakeholders. The organization has been established since 2009, supported by a domain registration of the same age, indicating a stable and legitimate presence. The website is built on WordPress using the Divi theme and supports multiple languages via WPML, reflecting a commitment to accessibility for Belgium's multilingual population. The site employs a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism, aligning with GDPR requirements, although explicit privacy and terms of service pages are not detected in the provided content. Technically, the website uses a broad range of third-party advertising and tracking services, which may impact user privacy and should be carefully managed. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but lacks visible security headers and explicit security policies. Overall, the website is professional and functional but would benefit from enhanced privacy disclosures and security hardening.

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.

  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 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';…
  2. 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

  3. 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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 Belgian Midwives Association operates as a small-sized, essential entity within the healthcare sector, focusing on midwifery in Belgium. Its business model is that of a non-profit professional association, providing representation and resources to midwives. The website targets healthcare professionals and the general public interested in midwifery. The organization maintains a consistent brand presence and leverages multilingual capabilities to serve a diverse audience. The extensive use of advertising and tracking technologies suggests potential revenue or funding streams through digital marketing partnerships. However, no direct contact information or detailed business certifications are publicly visible, which could limit direct engagement opportunities. The association appears well-positioned within its niche but should improve transparency and user trust through clearer contact and policy disclosures.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security posture. HTTPS is properly implemented, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. The site uses numerous third-party scripts and advertising networks, increasing the attack surface and potential privacy risks. No explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are found, which may hinder timely handling of security issues. The cookie consent mechanism is a positive compliance feature, but overall security best practices need strengthening. Regular updates and security audits are recommended to mitigate risks associated with third-party integrations and to enhance user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve defense against web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish clear and comprehensive privacy and terms of service policies accessible from the website footer or main navigation.
  3. Provide explicit contact information including email and phone numbers for general and security-related inquiries to enhance transparency and user trust.
  4. Conduct regular security audits and update all WordPress components and plugins to minimize vulnerabilities.
  5. Review and limit third-party advertising and tracking scripts to essential services only, ensuring compliance with privacy regulations and reducing user tracking footprint.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a mature WordPress platform using the Divi theme and WPML for multilingual support, indicating a modern and flexible technical infrastructure. The presence of Yoast SEO plugin and structured data (JSON-LD) enhances search engine visibility and semantic understanding. The site loads multiple third-party scripts for advertising, analytics, and social media integration, which may impact performance and privacy. Hosting is provided by OVH, a reputable provider. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization but basic accessibility features. The site could benefit from optimization of third-party scripts and implementation of accessibility best practices to improve user experience and compliance.
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.
