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

Mont des Arts is a cultural and event venue platform promoting the Mont des Arts/Kunstberg area in Brussels, Belgium. The website provides multilingual content about indoor institutions, outdoor hotspots, event venues, and hospitality options, targeting visitors, tourists, and event organizers. The business operates primarily in the hospitality and cultural sectors with a focus on venue hire and cultural promotion. Technically, the site is built on the Weebly/EditMySite platform using older JavaScript libraries like jQuery 1.8.3 and Backbone.js, with video and reCAPTCHA integrations. The site is mobile optimized and has a professional design but lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS and reCAPTCHA but missing security headers and privacy policies. WHOIS data is unavailable, raising concerns about domain legitimacy. Overall, the site is functional and professional but requires improvements in privacy compliance and security transparency.

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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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';…

  3. 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

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

The website positions Mont des Arts as a key cultural and event hub in Brussels, offering venue hire and promoting local institutions and hotspots. It leverages partnerships with local museums, libraries, and event spaces. The business model appears to be service-oriented, focusing on venue rental and cultural tourism. The multilingual approach broadens audience reach. However, the lack of detailed business registration info and contact phone numbers limits transparency. The site integrates social media for outreach but lacks comprehensive privacy and security disclosures, which may impact trust with privacy-conscious users.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS and Google reCAPTCHA v3, indicating basic security measures against data interception and bots. However, no security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) were detected, which are important for mitigating common web attacks. The use of an outdated jQuery version (1.8.3) could expose the site to known vulnerabilities if not patched. No privacy or cookie policies were found, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR and other regulations. No incident response or security contact information is provided, limiting the ability to report or respond to security issues. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires enhancements to meet best practices and regulatory compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to comply with GDPR.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  3. Update JavaScript libraries to latest secure versions to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Provide clear incident response and security contact information on the website.
  5. Verify domain registration details and ensure WHOIS data is accurate and publicly available to improve trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Weebly/EditMySite platform, utilizing jQuery 1.8.3, Backbone.js, Underscore.js, and Video.js for video playback. Google reCAPTCHA v3 is integrated for bot protection. The site loads CSS and JS assets from CDN2 and CDN1 editmysite.com domains. The HTML structure is valid with meta tags for viewport and Open Graph for social sharing. The site is multilingual with English, French, and Dutch content. Performance is moderate with some heavy video content. Mobile optimization is good, but accessibility features are basic. SEO is basic with meta tags but no structured JSON-LD data found. No forms collecting user data were detected on the homepage. Overall, the technical stack is functional but uses some outdated libraries and lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features.
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.
