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

VISITWallonia.de is a regional tourism portal focused on promoting the Wallonia region and Ardennes in southern Belgium to German-speaking tourists. The website provides travel information, guides, and regional highlights to attract visitors. It operates under the VISITWallonia brand, which has multiple language-specific sites targeting different European markets. Technically, the site is built on Drupal 7 with embedded social media content via Flockler and uses Gandi.net for domain hosting. The site demonstrates good content quality, SEO optimization, and mobile responsiveness, but lacks visible privacy and cookie policies, security headers, and incident response information. Security posture is moderate with room for improvement in headers and disclosure policies. Overall, the domain registration and hosting are consistent with the business purpose, indicating legitimacy and trustworthiness.

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.

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 an important regional tourism information hub, targeting tourists interested in Wallonia and the Ardennes. Its business model revolves around promoting tourism and providing comprehensive travel resources. The presence of multiple language versions and partner domains indicates a broad European market reach. The site benefits from official backing and branding consistency, enhancing its market position. Revenue streams likely include partnerships, tourism promotion funding, and possibly affiliate marketing through embedded content. The ecosystem includes sister sites in multiple languages, supporting a cohesive regional tourism strategy.

Security posture

The security maturity of the website is moderate. While HTTPS is implied by canonical URLs and domain usage, no explicit security headers were detected in the provided content. There is no visible privacy or cookie policy, which is a compliance gap under GDPR. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is present, limiting transparency for security issues. The site uses Drupal 7, which is an older CMS version and may pose risks if not properly maintained. Embedded third-party scripts like Flockler add complexity and potential attack surface. Overall, the site should enhance security headers, implement clear privacy and cookie policies, and publish incident response contacts to improve security posture.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish clear and accessible privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  3. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Upgrade or patch Drupal CMS to the latest supported version to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  5. Add incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses to improve transparency and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 7 CMS with jQuery 1.10 and uses Flockler for social media embedding and Flickity for carousel functionality. Hosting is managed via Gandi.net as indicated by nameservers. The site includes modern SEO meta tags and Open Graph tags for social sharing. Performance is moderate with CDN usage for fonts and assets. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design elements. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. The site lacks advanced security headers and visible compliance documentation. Technical debt is present due to older CMS version and missing security best practices. Modernization and security hardening are recommended to reduce risk and improve user trust.
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.
