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

VISITWallonia is the official Belgian Tourism Office website dedicated to promoting tourism in the Wallonia region. It provides visitors with holiday ideas, travel information, and free brochures to enhance their travel experience. The website targets tourists and travelers interested in exploring Wallonia, positioning itself as a trusted government tourism authority. The business model is focused on regional tourism promotion and visitor engagement. Technically, the website is built on Drupal 7 CMS, leveraging modern web technologies including jQuery, Matomo Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Cookiebot for cookie consent management. The site is hosted likely via the wbtourisme.be CDN infrastructure, delivering moderate performance with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO practices are adequately implemented with proper meta tags and structured data. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration and implements cookie consent with blocking mode to comply with privacy regulations. However, some security best practices such as enabling DNSSEC, publishing privacy policies, terms of service, and security.txt files are missing. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The domain registration details are consistent with the official nature of the site, enhancing trustworthiness. Overall, VISITWallonia presents a professional, secure, and privacy-conscious tourism website with room for improvement in transparency and security documentation. Strategic recommendations include publishing comprehensive privacy and terms policies, enabling DNSSEC, and enhancing security headers to further strengthen the security posture.

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

4 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

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  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';…
  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.

Business context

Business profile

VISITWallonia operates as an essential government entity in the hospitality sector, focusing on tourism promotion for the Wallonia region in Belgium. Its competitive advantage lies in its official status and comprehensive tourism content. The business model is non-commercial, aimed at increasing regional tourism through information dissemination and brochure distribution. The target customers are international and domestic tourists seeking travel ideas in Wallonia. The partnership ecosystem includes related campaign and partner sites such as campagne.valloniabelgioturismo.it and play.visitwallonia.be, indicating a collaborative approach to tourism marketing. Growth indicators include active use of analytics and marketing tools, although direct revenue streams are not evident. The company maintains consistent branding and professional content, reinforcing its market position.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place. The use of Matomo Analytics with consent management shows attention to privacy compliance. However, the absence of DNSSEC, security.txt, and comprehensive privacy and terms policies indicates gaps in security governance and transparency. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were identified in the provided content. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not evident due to lack of explicit security policy or contact information. Compliance with GDPR is partially indicated through cookie consent but lacks full documentation. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a government tourism site but would benefit from enhanced documentation and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the website footer or main navigation.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  3. Create and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and incident reporting.
  4. Implement additional HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Regularly update Drupal core and contributed modules to mitigate known vulnerabilities and maintain security hygiene.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 7, a mature CMS platform, with a tech stack including jQuery, Matomo Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Cookiebot for consent management. Hosting appears to be via a regional CDN (cdn.wbtourisme.be), supporting moderate performance and good mobile responsiveness. The site includes structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO and social media integration via Open Graph tags. While the site is functional and well-structured, Drupal 7 is an older CMS version, which may pose long-term maintenance and security risks. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. Accessibility is basic, suggesting potential improvements for compliance with WCAG standards. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but should consider modernization and enhanced security controls.
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.
