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

The website burgerprofiel.be appears to be a government-related profile service for the Flanders region in Belgium, as indicated by the website title and domain naming. The site uses JavaScript widgets from a related Vlaanderen domain, suggesting integration with official government services. However, the WHOIS data is blocked with a 'NOT ALLOWED' status, indicating privacy or registration restrictions common for government domains. The website content is minimal but consistent with government branding, and no explicit business or contact information is available in the provided HTML snippet. Technical infrastructure shows use of standard web technologies like JavaScript, CSS, and HTML, but lacks visible security headers or SSL configuration details in the data provided. Privacy and cookie policies are not found, which is a compliance gap. Overall, the site is safe for general audiences and does not contain adult or explicit content.

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

7 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

The domain and website are positioned as a public service platform for citizens in Flanders, Belgium. The business model is likely government-funded, providing profile or identity-related services to residents. The site targets general public users in the region and integrates with other Vlaanderen digital services. There is no evidence of commercial activities, advertising, or third-party partnerships beyond government-related domains. The lack of visible contact or business registration data is typical for government sites. The platform likely serves as a centralized profile or identity management tool within the Flemish government digital ecosystem.

Security posture

The security posture is limited based on the available data. The absence of visible HTTPS/SSL details, security headers, and privacy policies indicates potential compliance and security gaps. The WHOIS data blocking suggests privacy protection but also limits transparency. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is found. The site should improve security best practices by implementing HTTPS, security headers, and publishing privacy and cookie policies. The current state poses moderate risk mainly due to lack of transparency and compliance documentation rather than active vulnerabilities.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate to secure user data.
  2. Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and inform users.
  3. Publish terms of service and contact information including security incident contacts.
  4. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and provide vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses standard web technologies including JavaScript and CSS, with widgets loaded from a related Vlaanderen domain. The site appears moderately optimized for mobile and accessibility, with consistent branding. However, there is no evidence of a CMS or advanced frameworks in the provided HTML snippet. Performance is moderate with no explicit indicators of slow loading. The lack of SEO meta tags and structured data limits search engine optimization. Technical debt appears low but modernization opportunities exist in security and compliance implementations.
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.
