Tourisme Wallonie is the official tourism administration for the Wallonia region in Belgium, focusing on sustainable tourism development and economic recognition of the tourism sector. The website serves as a comprehensive portal offering information on accommodations, attractions, guides, agencies, and public services related to tourism. It targets tourism professionals, public entities, and the general public interested in Wallonia tourism. Technically, the site is built on WordPress using Elementor and JetEngine, with modern JavaScript libraries and analytics tools like Matomo and Google Tag Manager. The site is well-structured, mobile-optimized, and implements GDPR-compliant cookie consent via Iubenda. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced, though security headers could be improved. WHOIS data is restricted, but the domain appears legitimate and consistent with a government entity. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and serves its public sector mission 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

3 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 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 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. 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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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 itself as the authoritative regional tourism body for Wallonia, providing a wide range of services including tourism observatory, quality certifications, and digital tools. Its business model is government-funded, focusing on public service rather than commercial revenue. The presence of VAT number and LinkedIn profile adds credibility. The site’s content and structure indicate a medium-sized organization with a clear focus on tourism sector support and development. The use of modern CMS and plugins suggests a commitment to digital maturity. No direct revenue streams or commercial partnerships are evident from the data, consistent with a government entity. The site’s ecosystem includes links to official publications and regional tourism initiatives, reinforcing its strategic role in the sector.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security baseline with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent mechanisms in place, indicating GDPR compliance. However, no explicit security headers (e.g., CSP, HSTS) were detected, representing an area for enhancement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. The absence of a security.txt or incident response contact limits transparency in vulnerability disclosure and incident handling. The use of reputable third-party services like Iubenda and Matomo suggests attention to privacy and analytics best practices. Overall, the security posture is good but could be strengthened by adding security headers and formalizing vulnerability disclosure processes.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security policy and incident response page including contact channels for reporting vulnerabilities or abuse.
  3. Add a security.txt file at the root domain to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance with WCAG standards.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins for vulnerabilities and update them promptly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with Elementor and JetEngine plugins, leveraging jQuery and modern JavaScript libraries. It uses Iubenda for cookie consent management and Matomo for analytics, indicating a preference for privacy-focused tools. Hosting appears to be provided by WP Serveur, a specialized WordPress hosting provider. The site is mobile-optimized and uses responsive design principles. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed by optimizing images and scripts. The site’s SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Technical debt appears low, but security header implementation and accessibility enhancements are recommended to modernize the technical posture further.
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.
