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

Koregos.org is a specialized online multimedia review and encyclopedia dedicated to the arts and art history, providing a rich collection of articles, videos, and reporticles validated by editorial committees. The website targets a diverse audience including experts, amateurs, and juniors, and operates as a free educational resource supported by cultural and governmental institutions in Belgium. Technically, the site uses a custom backend with legacy JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 1.7 and JW Player for multimedia content delivery. While the domain is well-established and consistent with the business claims, the website lacks modern security practices such as DNSSEC, security headers, and updated libraries, which poses potential risks. Privacy compliance is minimal with no visible privacy or cookie policies, and no contact or social media information is provided, limiting user engagement and trust. Overall, the site is functional and content-rich but requires improvements in security, privacy, and technical modernization to enhance trust and compliance.

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

8 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 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

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

Koregos occupies a niche position in the cultural media and education sector, focusing on art history and multimedia content. Its business model relies on free access supported by partnerships with cultural institutions and government bodies. The site demonstrates consistent branding and content quality, with a clear target audience spanning from experts to juniors. The partnership ecosystem includes reputable Belgian cultural and governmental organizations, enhancing credibility. However, the absence of direct contact information and modern digital marketing tools suggests limited commercial orientation and growth focus. The platform's longevity since 2007 indicates stability but also highlights the need for technical updates to remain competitive and secure.

Security posture

The website's security posture is moderate but with notable gaps. HTTPS is enabled, and domain registration status includes protections against unauthorized transfer or deletion. However, the lack of DNSSEC, absence of security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options), and use of outdated JavaScript libraries like jQuery 1.7 expose the site to potential vulnerabilities such as cross-site scripting and man-in-the-middle attacks. No privacy or cookie consent mechanisms are implemented, risking non-compliance with GDPR. The site does not provide any incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, limiting transparency and readiness. To improve security maturity, the site should update its tech stack, implement security headers, enable DNSSEC, and establish clear privacy and incident response policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Upgrade all JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to current secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  3. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  4. Publish clear privacy and cookie policies and implement a consent mechanism to comply with GDPR requirements.
  5. Add visible contact information and social media links to improve user trust and engagement.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom backend likely based on 4D CGI technology, with frontend technologies including jQuery 1.7, jQuery UI, JW Player for video playback, Cufon for font replacement, and SoundManager2 for audio. The hosting provider is OVH sas, a reputable European host. The site has moderate performance and basic mobile optimization but lacks modern responsive design features. SEO is basic with meta tags and Open Graph tags present but no structured data like JSON-LD. Accessibility features are minimal. The site would benefit from modernization of its tech stack, improved mobile responsiveness, and enhanced SEO and accessibility compliance to improve user experience and search visibility.
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.
