We discuss in this study our findings on empirically assessing the security of government websites in Burkina Faso. In many cases, government highly critical web sites are simply produced in a product line fashion using Content Management Systems which the webmasters do not quite master. Unfortunately, in this rush to promote government actions within this trend of digitization, little regards is given to the security of such web sites. E-government is thus becoming a reality: in Burkina Faso, all government bodies are taking part in this movement with web portals dedicated to serving the public. Everyday, there are initiatives towards relying on ICT to simplify the interaction between citizens and their governments in developing countries. Slowly, but consistently, the digital gap between developing and developed countries is being closed.
