Web security Brussels
Secure-by-design websites.
Built in Brussels.
The websites we build are secure out of the box. SSL, CSP/HSTS headers, SPF/DKIM/DMARC, daily backups, 24/7 monitoring. Everything is included in Studio (from 49€/month) and in our showcase and e-commerce websites. For existing sites we did not build, we offer a one-off audit and a maintenance & security plan at 100€/month.
Cyberattacks hit 43% of SMEs in Europe, and most victims had no protection in place at all. An unsecured site is an open door: customer data theft, malware injection, email domain spoofing. Consequences are heavy: lost customer trust, GDPR fines (up to 4% of yearly turnover), and a site blacklisted by Google.
What we secure
SSL & security headers
Mandatory HTTPS certificate, Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options. These invisible protections block the most common attacks: clickjacking, script injection, sniffing.
Email security
SPF, DKIM and DMARC configuration on your domain. Your emails land in inbox (not spam), and nobody can send fake emails on your behalf. Anti-phishing and anti-spam included.
Monitoring & cloud backup
24/7 uptime monitoring with email alerts. If your site goes down, we know before you do. Daily automatic backup of your site, one-click restore in case of trouble.
Vulnerability audit
Automated and manual scan of your site: XSS flaws, SQL injections, outdated dependencies, open ports. Clear report with priority fixes ranked by risk level.
Real threats for Brussels SMEs
Belgian SMEs are not targeted as identified entities: they are hit by automated attacks that scan the internet at large for known flaws. That is an important difference. You do not need to be a high-profile company to be attacked, you just need a public site and an unpatched vulnerability. Attackers exploit four big categories of issues at SMEs: outdated WordPress plugins, contact forms vulnerable to injection, mail servers misconfigured in a way that allows phishing under your domain name, and admin accounts protected only by weak passwords with no two-factor authentication.
In Brussels specifically, we see a rise in business email compromise (BEC) attacks: an attacker compromises the mailbox of a manager or accountant, watches the conversations, then impersonates them at a critical moment (a wire transfer, an invoice to pay). The average amount of a successful BEC attack against a Belgian SME exceeds 40 000 euros. Protection against this kind of attack relies on three simple pillars: pro emails configured with strict SPF/DKIM/DMARC, mandatory 2FA on every critical account, and minimal user training on warning signals.
A third risk often underestimated: compromise via an intermediate provider. Your web agency, your accountant, your marketing subcontractor can all become the entry point of an attack if they themselves are poorly secured. At Pixel Noir, we apply to ourselves the standards we ask of our clients: 2FA everywhere, generated passwords, regular rotation, access logs, signed DPAs with all our technical subcontractors (hosting, databases, payments). Your security is only as strong as your weakest link, and we refuse to be that link.
Our approach: fully remote
No need for a technician on your premises or hardware to buy. We work 100% remotely on your site, your DNS and your email setup. You keep working normally while we secure your infrastructure. Setup usually takes 24 to 48 hours for an existing site.
The typical process looks like this: initial audit free or at 8€ (automated scan with PDF report), prioritisation of fixes by criticality, intervention on urgent items within 48h (missing SSL, missing headers, known flaws), then progressive rollout of the rest (backups, monitoring, SPF/DKIM/DMARC, GDPR-compliant cookie policy). You are kept in the loop at every step, and no change goes live without validation for anything that could affect your end users.
GDPR compliance
As a Belgian agency, we know the obligations of the General Data Protection Regulation. We help you protect your customers' personal data: encryption in transit, compliant cookie policy, up-to-date legal notice, and procedures in case of a data breach. GDPR compliance is not optional in Belgium: it is the law.
Belgian and European compliance
Beyond GDPR, several European and Belgian regulations directly impact web security for SMEs: the NIS2 directive (extended in 2024 to a wider range of sectors), the DSA regulation for platforms, the Belgian law on cybersecurity for essential services. For most Brussels SMEs (restaurants, shops, liberal professions, craftspeople), the main obligation is GDPR: clear user information, explicit consent for non-essential cookies, processing register, data breach notification within 72h to the Data Protection Authority.
We provide a basic compliance pack covering these obligations: a technically compliant consent banner (no dark patterns), a privacy policy written and adapted to your activity, correct Belgian legal notice (SRL, BCE, VAT), minimal internal documentation to be able to respond to a request from the APD if they reach out. This is not legal advice, for complex cases we recommend a specialised lawyer, but it is enough for 95% of regular Brussels SMEs.
Our security offers
Studio from 49€/month and showcase sites from 500€: security included by default (SSL, headers, SPF/DKIM/DMARC, backup, monitoring). No extra fee. Express audit 8€ or Full audit 25€ to check the state of an existing site. Maintenance & security 100€/month for existing sites (yours or ours): SSL, headers, 24/7 monitoring, backup, support, no commitment.
Frequently asked questions
Is my site really at risk if I do nothing?
Yes. Automated attacks constantly scan public sites looking for known vulnerabilities (CVE). An outdated WordPress, an obsolete plugin, a poorly secured contact form is enough to get compromised. 43% of SMEs in Europe suffer a cyberattack each year, and most only realise weeks later. Without an audit, you simply do not know where you stand.
How much does GDPR compliance cost for a Brussels site?
A quick GDPR audit (cookies, legal notice, privacy policy, consent, basic processing register) costs between 150€ and 400€ depending on the site complexity. Technical compliance work (compliant cookie banner, signed DPAs with your providers, data breach procedures) ranges from 500€ to 1500€ depending on context. That is small money compared with GDPR fines that can reach 4% of yearly turnover.
What happens if my site gets hacked overnight?
With our Maintenance & Security plan at 100€/month, our 24/7 monitoring detects anomalies (response time, downtime, page defacement, file changes) within minutes. We get alerted, we step in. For incidents detected outside office hours, a first diagnostic happens within 2 hours and a clean backup restore within 24h max. Without a contract, we can still step in on emergency mode, but reactivity depends on our availability.
Are my backups really usable in case of trouble?
With us, yes, because we regularly test restoration from the backups. It is a common trap: many hosts run backups, but nobody verifies they are restorable until the day you actually need them. Our plan includes daily backups, 30-day retention, and monthly restore tests. The day you need it, it works.
Do you need to come on site to secure a Brussels website?
No, everything is done remotely: technical analysis, SSL configuration, security headers, DNS, SPF/DKIM/DMARC, application patches, monitoring setup. We work on your site and accounts via temporary access that gets revoked afterwards. No travel needed, which means we can start within 24h and offer competitive rates.
