Both readouts depend on the site's pages, which could not be loaded in this scan.

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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • GDPR outside view: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

EcoWerf holds a strong market position as a regional waste management authority in Belgium, offering essential public services including household waste collection, recycling parks, and educational outreach. Their business model is service-oriented, funded likely through municipal or governmental channels. The presence of certifications such as the VOKA Charter Duurzaam Ondernemen indicates commitment to sustainability. The organization targets local residents and municipalities, leveraging digital channels for communication and engagement. The website content and social media presence support a transparent and community-focused approach, with no indications of commercial advertising or affiliate marketing.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses Drupal's secure form handling, reducing risks of common web vulnerabilities. Cookie consent is implemented in compliance with GDPR. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. No incident response or security policy pages were found, which could enhance transparency and preparedness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from additional hardening and published security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance contact information by including verified company emails and phone numbers for better user trust and support.
  5. Regularly review and update cookie and privacy policies to maintain compliance with evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal CMS, leveraging jQuery and Matomo analytics for tracking. The HTML is valid and well-structured, with responsive design elements ensuring good mobile optimization. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph images. Accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA roles are present, indicating attention to inclusive design. The site uses external domains primarily for analytics and social media integration. No hosting provider details were explicitly found. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid with opportunities for modernization and enhanced security.
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.
