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

Fedustria is a professional association representing companies in the Belgian textile, wood, and furniture industries. The website serves as an information hub for industry news, services, projects, and sector-specific data. It targets industry stakeholders and companies within these sectors, providing advocacy, training, and sustainability initiatives. The site is well-branded and consistent with its industry focus, offering multiple language options to serve a diverse Belgian audience. Technically, the website employs modern front-end technologies including Vue.js, Tailwind CSS, and integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for analytics. The presence of a cookie consent banner indicates attention to privacy compliance, although explicit privacy and terms of service pages are not clearly found. Security posture is strong with HTTPS and anonymized analytics, but could be improved with additional security headers and published policies. WHOIS data is restricted due to DNS Belgium policies, which is common for .be domains, but the website content and structure support legitimacy. Overall, the site is professional, secure, and serves its business purpose effectively.

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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  3. 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

Fedustria holds a leading position as an industry federation in Belgium, representing textile, wood, and furniture sectors. Its business model focuses on providing services such as social support, legal and economic advice, export promotion, and sustainability guidance to member companies. The organization leverages partnerships and projects to enhance sector competitiveness and innovation. The website reflects a medium-sized entity with a clear sector focus and a professional digital presence. Growth indicators include active project involvement and sector advocacy. The partnership ecosystem includes social media channels and external project collaborations. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the homepage suggests a controlled communication approach, likely directing inquiries through contact forms or dedicated pages.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS and anonymized IP tracking in Google Analytics, reducing privacy risks. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analysis. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in handling security incidents. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found, which could enhance trust and preparedness. Overall, the site is secure but could benefit from enhanced security best practices and published policies to align with GDPR and NIS2 compliance expectations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the homepage.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen web security.
  3. Publish a security policy and provide incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct regular audits to ensure compliance with WCAG standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including Vue.js for reactive UI components, Tailwind CSS for styling, and Swiper for carousel functionality. Google Analytics and Tag Manager are used for user behavior tracking, with IP anonymization enabled. The site is responsive and optimized for mobile devices, with good SEO practices such as meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with some large images served via a CDN (Amazon S3). No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or static site generator approach. Hosting provider details are not evident from the HTML content. The site could improve by optimizing image sizes further and implementing advanced caching strategies to enhance load times.
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.
