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

CAWaB asbl is a Belgian non-profit organization dedicated to advocating for accessibility for persons with reduced mobility in the Wallonia and Brussels regions. The website serves as a platform to promote their 2024 election priorities focused on inclusive society measures, including accessible transport, buildings, and communication. The organization targets both the general public and policymakers to foster legislative and social change. Technically, the website is built on the SPIP CMS with Bootstrap and includes social media integrations such as Facebook SDK and YouTube embeds. The site is hosted by OVH and demonstrates good mobile optimization and accessibility features, aligning with its mission. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but lacks explicit security headers and formal security policies. Privacy compliance is weak due to the absence of privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but could improve in privacy and security transparency.

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 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

CAWaB holds an important position as a regional non-profit advocacy group focused on accessibility. Its business model revolves around awareness campaigns, political engagement, and information dissemination rather than commercial activities. The organization benefits from partnerships with regional governments and uses digital platforms to amplify its message. The website content and campaign materials indicate a clear focus on influencing policy and supporting persons with disabilities. The lack of direct contact information on the main page suggests a controlled communication approach, possibly centralized elsewhere. The organization’s longevity since 2006 and consistent domain registration support its credibility. The partnership ecosystem includes regional government bodies, enhancing its legitimacy and reach.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications, which is a fundamental security requirement. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces its defense against common web attacks like clickjacking and content injection. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, which limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. The use of third-party scripts like Facebook SDK introduces potential privacy and security considerations, but no explicit tracking beyond this is detected. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing recommended headers and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and HSTS to enhance protection against common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Provide clear and accessible contact information including emails and phone numbers for better user engagement and trust.
  5. Conduct a security audit of third-party scripts and minimize tracking to align with privacy best practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the SPIP CMS platform, leveraging Bootstrap for responsive design and mediabox/lity.js for media display. It integrates social media SDKs asynchronously to reduce blocking. Hosting by OVH provides a reliable infrastructure. Performance is moderate with no explicit indicators of slow loading but could benefit from optimization. Accessibility is a strong focus, with content in sign language and easy-to-read formats, aligning with the organization's mission. SEO is basic with meta tags and Open Graph data present but no advanced structured data or JSON-LD detected. The site lacks forms on the main page, indicating limited direct data collection. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could be enhanced with modern security and privacy features.
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.
