Glue digital agency is a well-established Belgian digital agency specializing in building websites and webshops that seamlessly integrate with external systems such as ERP, CRM, PIM, and ticketing platforms. With over 20 years of experience since its domain registration in 2002, Glue has positioned itself as a trusted partner for businesses seeking comprehensive digital solutions. Their key services include website and webshop development, digital strategy, online marketing, and content creation, targeting businesses that require integrated and scalable online platforms. Technically, the website demonstrates a mature digital infrastructure leveraging modern technologies including Craft CMS, Shopify, Magento, Laravel, and integrations with Salesforce and Mailchimp. The site is performant, mobile-optimized, and SEO-friendly, reflecting a high level of digital maturity. The hosting and domain registration are consistent with the company's history, registered through Combell nv, a reputable provider. From a security perspective, the website enforces HTTPS and uses asynchronous loading of analytics and marketing scripts, minimizing performance impact. However, explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are absent, representing areas for improvement. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected, and privacy compliance is well addressed through comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms. Overall, Glue digital agency presents a professional, trustworthy, and technically sound online presence with strong business credibility. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security transparency by publishing security policies and incident response information, implementing security headers, and establishing a vulnerability disclosure process to further strengthen their security posture and trustworthiness.

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

3 findings 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

  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. 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 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

Glue digital agency operates in the competitive digital services market, focusing on integrated website and webshop solutions for a diverse client base including retail, healthcare, education, and cultural sectors. Their competitive advantage lies in deep system integration capabilities and a broad technology stack supporting various platforms. Revenue streams likely derive from project-based development, ongoing digital marketing services, and platform maintenance. The company showcases a strong partnership ecosystem with notable clients such as RainPharma, Film Fest Gent, and Duvel Moortgat, indicating robust market presence and trust. Growth indicators include a 20-year operational history, extensive case studies, and active social media engagement. Strategic observations suggest continued investment in technology and client relations will sustain their market position.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid baseline security posture with HTTPS enforced and no visible exposure of sensitive data. Use of third-party analytics and marketing tools is managed with asynchronous loading, reducing risk. However, the absence of documented security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates gaps in security governance and transparency. No security headers were detected in the provided data, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. Compliance with GDPR is supported by privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not evident from the content. Overall, the security maturity is moderate with room for improvement in policy transparency and technical safeguards.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Include incident response contact information (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email addresses) on the website.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Backend development utilizes Laravel framework, indicating a robust and scalable infrastructure.

Performance is optimized with asynchronous script loading and responsive design, ensuring fast load times and excellent mobile experience.

Overall, the technical implementation reflects a mature and well-maintained digital platform.
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.
