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

FEBELCEM is the Belgian Federation of the Cement Industry, representing major cement manufacturers in Belgium. The organization promotes the use of cement and concrete, provides information and training, and supports sustainability initiatives such as net zero carbon goals. The website is professionally designed using TYPO3 CMS and Bootstrap, with good mobile optimization and clear navigation. It integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for user tracking but lacks a cookie consent mechanism. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS usage but missing explicit security headers and published security policies.

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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  2. 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.
  • 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

FEBELCEM operates as an essential industry federation in the manufacturing sector, specifically cement and concrete production. It represents five major members and produces significant volumes of cement annually. The business model focuses on industry representation, promotion, and education rather than direct sales. The website content targets professionals and stakeholders in the construction and cement sectors. The federation maintains partnerships and provides extensive publications and resources. The domain age and WHOIS data support the legitimacy and long-standing presence of the organization.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and uses modern tracking tools like Google Analytics and Tag Manager. However, it lacks explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy and HSTS, which are recommended for enhanced security. There is no visible security policy or incident response contact information, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present. Forms are present but no direct email addresses or phone numbers are exposed, reducing risk of spam. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved with standard best practices and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and improve privacy compliance.
  2. Add standard security headers including Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to enhance trust and preparedness.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve inclusivity and compliance with standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS with Bootstrap for responsive design, ensuring good mobile optimization. It uses Google Tag Manager and Analytics for tracking user behavior. The HTML is valid and SEO meta tags are properly set, including canonical and hreflang tags for multilingual support. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies detected. Hosting provider details are not explicitly available. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from improved security headers and privacy mechanisms.
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.
