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

The website www.patrimoine-frb.be represents the Fondation Roi Baudouin's heritage division, focusing on the preservation, acquisition, and promotion of Belgian cultural heritage. It serves as an informational and resource platform for cultural institutions, artists, and philanthropists, providing access to collections, funding opportunities, and news. The site is professionally designed with clear navigation and content relevant to its non-profit mission. Technically, the site is built on Drupal 7 with common JavaScript libraries and integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for visitor tracking. While the site is functional and moderately optimized, the use of an outdated CMS version poses potential security risks. The absence of a cookie consent mechanism is a GDPR compliance gap. Privacy and terms policies are present and comprehensive, supporting legal compliance. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities in the HTML content. However, the lack of security headers and incident response information suggests room for improvement. WHOIS data is unavailable due to registry restrictions, which reduces transparency but does not contradict the site's legitimacy given the strong branding and external references. Overall, the site is a credible, well-maintained resource for cultural heritage philanthropy in Belgium but should address technical and privacy compliance improvements to enhance security and user trust.

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. 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 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

  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"

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 Fondation Roi Baudouin operates as a medium-sized non-profit entity in Belgium, specializing in cultural heritage preservation and philanthropic fund management. Its market position is strong within the Belgian cultural sector, supported by partnerships with related heritage organizations. The business model centers on managing heritage funds, supporting cultural projects, and facilitating philanthropy. The website targets cultural institutions, artists, and donors, providing services such as collection loans, funding calls, and project support. The foundation's reputation and trust indicators are reinforced by professional content, clear branding, and comprehensive policies, although the lack of direct contact emails and phone numbers on the site may limit immediate engagement. Growth opportunities include expanding digital services, improving privacy compliance, and modernizing the technical infrastructure to maintain security and user experience.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive data in the HTML. However, the absence of key security headers (e.g., Content Security Policy, HSTS) and lack of incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies indicate gaps in security best practices. The use of Drupal 7, an outdated CMS version, introduces potential vulnerabilities if not regularly patched. No signs of malware or phishing were detected. Privacy compliance is partial, with privacy and terms policies present but no cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the security posture is adequate for informational purposes but requires enhancements to meet modern standards and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  2. Upgrade Drupal core and modules to supported versions or migrate to a newer CMS to mitigate security risks.
  3. Add security headers such as Content Security Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen defense against common web attacks.
  4. Develop and publish an incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy to improve security readiness and transparency.
  5. Include clear contact information such as official emails and phone numbers to improve business credibility and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 7, leveraging jQuery and several contributed modules for UI features like slideshows and menus. Google Analytics and Tag Manager are used for visitor tracking. The site loads multiple CSS and JS resources asynchronously, indicating moderate performance optimization. Mobile optimization is basic but functional. Accessibility features such as skip links are present, enhancing usability. SEO is basic with meta tags and structured navigation but could be improved with richer metadata and schema markup. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical infrastructure is stable but dated, with modernization opportunities to improve security, performance, and compliance.
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.
