Cybersecurity is more important than ever. With the new European NIS2 directive, local authorities, tourism offices, and other public organisations are also being encouraged to improve their digital security. At Paddle.be, we take this very seriously.
Luckily, you don’t need to be a technical expert to stay safe. We provide a strong foundation and offer additional options for those who want to be even better protected against digital risks.
What’s already covered by default?
Every website built with Paddle.be is based on a solid foundation:
- Secured CMS: Our CMS blocks IP addresses after too many failed logins, protects against known attacks like CSRF, and only allows safe file types to be uploaded.
- Secure hosting: Your website runs on a platform with a firewall, rate limiting (to prevent brute-force attacks), and IP restrictions.
- Patch policy: We perform weekly vulnerability scans. Security updates are installed automatically during our monthly releases.
- File protection: Files uploaded through forms are stored securely in folders that are not publicly accessible.
All of this is included in your website subscription. No need for you to take action—we handle it for you.
Want to take it a step further? You can.
Some organisations want to go the extra mile—whether for peace of mind or to meet specific requirements (like NIS2). We can help with that too.
Here are a few options to make your website even more secure:
More secure login
- Two-factor authentication for your CMS login
- Strict password policy
- Restricted content access (for larger organizations)
Extra protection for your web forms
- ReCaptcha to prevent spam
- Virus scanner for uploads
- Automatic file name cleanup
- Honeypot technique to mislead bots
- Automatic text input sanitization (against script injections)
Technical security headers
- Strict ‘transport security’-headers
- Content Security Policy (CSP)
- Setting a referrer policy
How does that work in practice?
Some of these improvements can be activated quickly (like a secure header or ReCaptcha). Others may require a bit of extra development time—like extending your web forms with PDF handlers or honeypots. Everything is discussed with you in advance, with a clear estimate of cost and timing.
In conclusion: you’re in good hands with Paddle.be
Whether you simply want to be sure your website is secure or are actively working toward NIS2 compliance: Paddle.be offers the protection and support you need. No technical hassle—just peace of mind.
