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

VISITWallonia.be is the official tourism website for the Wallonia region in Belgium, providing travel information, destination guides, and event listings to tourists and visitors. The site is built on Drupal 7 and incorporates modern web technologies such as jQuery and embedded social media content via Flockler. The website demonstrates good content quality and user experience with multilingual support, targeting a broad audience interested in tourism in southern Belgium. However, the site lacks visible privacy and cookie policies, security headers, and explicit contact information, which are important for compliance and trust. The domain registration is consistent with the business purpose and age, registered with a reputable registrar since 2019. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced security and privacy compliance measures.

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

5 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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.

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 serves as a key digital asset for promoting tourism in Wallonia, positioning itself as an official source of travel information. Its business model focuses on providing comprehensive tourism content and travel planning resources, likely funded by regional tourism authorities or government entities. The site targets tourists, event planners, and leisure travelers, offering multilingual content to cater to diverse visitors. The use of Drupal CMS and embedded social media tools indicates a moderate level of digital maturity. The absence of detailed business contact information and certifications suggests a focus on information dissemination rather than direct commercial transactions. Strategic partnerships or subsidiaries are not evident from the data.

Security posture

The security posture of the website is moderate but has room for improvement. HTTPS is implied but not explicitly confirmed in the provided data. No security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. There is no evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries in the HTML content. The lack of visible privacy and cookie policies and absence of incident response or vulnerability disclosure information indicate gaps in compliance and security transparency. Implementing security best practices and compliance documentation would strengthen the site's security maturity and user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Ensure HTTPS is enforced site-wide with strong SSL/TLS configuration.
  4. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security-related inquiries.
  5. Establish and publicize an incident response and vulnerability disclosure process to improve security transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 7, a widely used CMS, with jQuery and Flockler for social media embedding and carousel functionality. The site loads external fonts from Google Fonts and uses a CDN for static assets, which supports performance optimization. The HTML structure includes meta tags for SEO and social sharing (Open Graph), indicating good SEO practices. Mobile optimization appears good with viewport meta tags and responsive design elements. Accessibility features are basic but present, such as skip links. Performance is moderate, with some reliance on external resources. The site would benefit from modernization to a newer Drupal version and enhanced security configurations.
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.
