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

Belgium Film is a cultural media platform dedicated to promoting Belgian cinema, operated under the auspices of a Belgian governmental communication office. The website provides information about Belgian films, events, and industry news, targeting film enthusiasts and professionals within the cultural sector. The domain is well-established since 2010 and is registered to a legitimate government-related entity, reinforcing its credibility. Technically, the website is built using modern web technologies such as React and Gatsby, with a focus on responsive design and good user experience. However, there is a lack of advanced security measures such as security headers and explicit privacy or cookie policies, which are critical for compliance and user trust. No analytics or advertising scripts were detected, indicating minimal tracking. From a security standpoint, the site lacks visible security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. The absence of security headers and privacy compliance features lowers the security posture score. The WHOIS data supports the legitimacy of the domain, with no suspicious patterns detected. Overall, the website is functional and credible but requires improvements in privacy compliance, security best practices, and contact transparency to enhance trust and regulatory adherence.

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. 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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 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

Belgium Film operates as a niche media platform focused on the Belgian film industry, likely funded or managed by a government communication office. Its business model centers on cultural promotion rather than commercial revenue generation. The platform serves a specialized audience including film professionals, cultural organizations, and enthusiasts. The domain's longevity and government affiliation provide competitive advantages in trust and authority within its sector. There is no evidence of commercial partnerships or advertising, suggesting a public service orientation. Growth opportunities may include expanding digital engagement and formalizing compliance and security frameworks.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS presumably enabled (though SSL details are not provided), but lacks critical security headers and explicit privacy or cookie policies. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is present, which limits the site's readiness to handle security incidents. The absence of contact information for security matters further weakens the security culture. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. Compliance with GDPR and other data protection regulations appears minimal or undocumented. Enhancing security headers, publishing privacy and cookie policies, and establishing incident response contacts are recommended to improve security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Publish contact information including general and security-specific email addresses to improve transparency and incident response.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and update technical infrastructure to maintain modern security standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using React and Gatsby, indicating a modern static site generation approach that supports good performance and scalability. Google Fonts are used for typography, enhancing visual appeal. The site appears mobile-optimized with responsive design elements. However, no CMS or hosting provider details were identified. Performance is moderate, likely due to static content delivery. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO optimization is minimal with standard meta tags but no advanced structured data or rich snippets detected. Technical debt appears low, but improvements in security and privacy implementation are needed to reduce risk.
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.
