Recupel is a Belgian organization dedicated to reducing electronic waste by promoting repair, reuse, and proper recycling of electrical appliances. The website targets consumers and businesses interested in sustainable waste management solutions. It operates likely as a non-profit or collective organization with a strong environmental mission. The site uses modern web technologies including Drupal 10 CMS, Google Tag Manager, and Cookiebot for cookie consent management, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, though there is room for improvement in security headers and explicit privacy policies. The extensive use of major advertising and tracking platforms is balanced by a clear consent mechanism. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and well-optimized for mobile and SEO, serving its audience effectively.

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

2 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. 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

Recupel holds a strong market position in Belgium as a key player in electronic waste management. Its business model focuses on environmental sustainability through services that encourage repair, reuse, and recycling. The organization likely collaborates with various partners and stakeholders in the waste management ecosystem, although no explicit partner domains were identified. Revenue streams may include fees or contributions related to electronic product recycling. The website content and structure indicate a medium-sized entity with consistent branding and good content quality. The absence of direct contact information on the site suggests a focus on informational and service facilitation rather than direct sales or support.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and a robust cookie consent mechanism via Cookiebot. However, no explicit security headers were detected in the HTML content, and there is no visible security policy or incident response information. The lack of a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure channel limits transparency for security researchers. The extensive use of third-party advertising and tracking services introduces privacy considerations, though mitigated by user consent. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the site's purpose but could be enhanced by implementing additional security headers, publishing clear privacy and security policies, and establishing formal incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the website footer or main navigation.
  3. Provide explicit contact information for security incidents, including a security@ or abuse@ email address.
  4. Create and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve transparency.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking services to ensure compliance with privacy regulations and minimize unnecessary data collection.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10 CMS, leveraging Google Tag Manager and Cookiebot for analytics and cookie management. It uses Google Fonts for typography and serves content over HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and includes accessibility features. Performance appears moderate with no evident blocking or errors. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, though the absence of explicit security headers and limited WHOIS data visibility suggest areas for technical improvement. The site integrates multiple third-party domains primarily for fonts, analytics, and advertising, which is typical for a site of this nature.
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.
