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. 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 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

    • 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';…

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

Gas.be occupies a strategic position as a key information and advocacy platform for renewable gases in Belgium. Its business model centers on collaboration within the Belgian gas sector, promoting sustainable energy solutions and supporting the adoption of green gases. The platform targets multiple sectors including energy, transport, and agriculture, offering services such as neutral advice, event participation, and dissemination of industry news. Partnerships with organizations like Cerga, Hybrid Heat Pump Platform, and Green Gas Platform enhance its ecosystem. The website content reflects a strong focus on innovation, sustainability, and practical solutions for energy transition challenges. Growth indicators include active event participation and engagement with European biogas initiatives. The absence of direct contact emails and phone numbers suggests a preference for controlled communication channels via forms and social media.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, presence of key security headers (HSTS, CSP, X-Frame-Options, etc.), and no visible exposure of sensitive data. Forms appear secure with no evident vulnerabilities. However, the lack of a published security policy or incident response information and absence of a vulnerability disclosure program are gaps that could be addressed to enhance transparency and trust. The site does not display cookie consent banners, which may be a compliance risk under GDPR. No malware or phishing indicators were detected. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved with formalized policies and user-facing security information.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a visible cookie consent banner to ensure GDPR compliance and user awareness.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan on the website.
  3. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance contact information with direct security or abuse contacts to improve incident response readiness.
  5. Regularly review and update privacy and cookie policies to reflect evolving regulations and best practices.

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.
