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

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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

Febelfin Academy holds a strong market position within the Belgian financial education sector, leveraging partnerships with related financial organizations and employment platforms. Their offerings cater to a professional audience requiring certified financial knowledge and career advancement. The presence of certifications like the Qfor Label and accreditations enhances credibility. The business operates a medium-sized model with a focus on quality content and user experience. The partnership ecosystem includes key financial and talent development sites, supporting a comprehensive service offering. Growth potential is supported by subscription models and customized training services.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS and cookie consent compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a publicly available security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates room for improvement in transparency and readiness. Security headers were not explicitly detected, suggesting potential enhancements. Compliance with GDPR is evident through privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could benefit from formalized policies and improved header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ emails.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Enhance HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options.
  5. Improve accessibility features to meet higher standards and broaden user inclusivity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript stack including jQuery, Modernizr, and Selectize.js for UI enhancements. Google Tag Manager and Cookiebot are integrated for analytics and cookie management, respectively. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and uses Google Fonts for typography. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected. No CMS or hosting provider information was explicitly found. The site lacks some advanced accessibility features but maintains good SEO practices with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Technical risks are minimal, though security header implementation could be improved to reduce attack surface.
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.
