Risk levelLow

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

Duvel Moortgat is a historic, fourth-generation family-owned brewing company founded in 1871, recognized globally for its high-quality specialty beers and multiple iconic brands. The company emphasizes tradition, quality, and sustainability, operating 13 breweries worldwide and targeting beer consumers, partners, and employees. The website reflects a mature digital presence with multilingual support, clear branding, and comprehensive corporate responsibility content. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies including Google Tag Manager and a cookie consent framework, with good mobile optimization and accessibility. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms, though the absence of visible security headers and a public security policy suggests room for improvement. WHOIS data is unavailable, which is unusual for a well-established brand, indicating possible privacy protection or registrar issues. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and compliant with privacy regulations, but could enhance transparency in security and contact information.

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.

Priority findings

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

Duvel Moortgat holds a strong market position as a global leader in specialty beers, leveraging a family-owned business model that balances heritage with innovation. Their diverse brand portfolio and sustainability initiatives differentiate them competitively. The company targets a broad audience including consumers, partners, and potential employees, supported by a well-structured website with clear navigation and multilingual content. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a preference for controlled communication channels via forms. The company’s digital ecosystem includes Google Tag Manager for analytics and a robust cookie consent mechanism, indicating awareness of privacy compliance. The lack of WHOIS transparency is a potential risk factor but does not currently undermine the brand’s credibility. Strategic partnerships and sustainability projects are highlighted, reinforcing their corporate responsibility and market relevance.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and implements an age verification modal to comply with legal drinking age requirements, demonstrating attention to regulatory compliance. Cookie consent is managed via an opt-in framework with category granularity, supporting GDPR compliance. However, no explicit security headers (e.g., CSP, HSTS) are detected in the HTML content, which could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. There is no published security policy or incident response contact, limiting transparency for security researchers and users. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the content. The absence of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file suggests an opportunity to improve security culture and incident handling readiness. Overall, the security posture is good but could be strengthened by adopting additional best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and provide incident response contact information to enhance transparency and trust.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Consider adding direct company contact emails or phone numbers for customer support and business inquiries to improve accessibility.
  5. Audit WHOIS registration details and ensure domain registration information is accurate and publicly available to reduce suspicion and improve legitimacy.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with modern web standards including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, leveraging Google Tag Manager for analytics and a cookie consent framework for privacy compliance. It uses responsive images and web fonts for performance and accessibility. The site is mobile optimized with good navigation clarity and professional design. No CMS or hosting provider is explicitly detected from the HTML content. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected. The technical implementation supports a positive user experience and SEO optimization. However, the absence of visible security headers and incomplete WHOIS data represent technical risks that should be addressed to improve security posture and domain legitimacy.
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.
