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

Duvel is a well-established Belgian beer brand with a rich history dating back to 1871. The company operates a professional website that showcases its premium beer products, brand heritage, and visitor experiences. The site targets beer enthusiasts primarily in Belgium and internationally, offering detailed product information, awards, and an e-commerce platform. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including JavaScript, Google Tag Manager, and Flowbox for social media integration, with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS, includes an age verification modal to comply with legal drinking age requirements, and implements cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR. However, no explicit security policy or incident response information is published, and WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable, which slightly impacts trust analysis. Overall, the website is professional, secure, and compliant, supporting Duvel's market position as a premium beer brand.

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.

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

Duvel maintains a strong market position as a premium Belgian beer producer with international recognition. The business model includes manufacturing, brand marketing, visitor tours, and direct online sales through a webshop. The company leverages social media channels effectively for brand engagement. The website content and structure reflect a mature digital presence with consistent branding and high-quality content. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the main site suggests a preference for controlled communication channels, possibly via contact forms. The parent company, Duvel Moortgat, is linked, indicating corporate structure and partnership. The site’s cookie and privacy policies demonstrate compliance with European data protection regulations, supporting trustworthiness in the target markets.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with enforced HTTPS, modern security headers, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. The age verification modal is a notable compliance feature for alcohol-related content. Cookie consent is granular and user-friendly, indicating attention to privacy compliance. However, the lack of published security policies, incident response plans, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms limits transparency. The WHOIS data absence is a concern but does not directly impact the site's operational security. Recommendations include publishing security and incident response information, providing direct security contact channels, and continuous monitoring of third-party scripts to mitigate risks.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to enhance transparency.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Provide clear contact information for data protection officer or security team.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and tracking tools to avoid vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance contact options with verified company emails and phone numbers for customer support.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack with JavaScript, jQuery, Google Tag Manager, and Flowbox for social media integration. The HTML and CSS are valid and support responsive design, ensuring good mobile experience. Performance is moderate, with optimized images and asynchronous script loading. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA labels are present. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. The site could benefit from CMS identification and potential performance optimization to improve load times further.
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.
