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

AeroPrecipe.com is a specialized online platform dedicated to the AeroPress coffee brewing community, offering over 300 curated recipes contributed by baristas and enthusiasts worldwide. The site positions itself as the largest and most comprehensive collection of AeroPress recipes, targeting coffee lovers who seek to explore, share, and refine their brewing techniques. The business model revolves around community engagement, user-generated content, and membership features that enhance user experience through personalized profiles and recipe management. Technically, the website leverages modern web technologies including React and Next.js, hosted on DigitalOcean, ensuring fast performance, mobile responsiveness, and good SEO practices. The site employs HTTPS with strong security headers, although DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended improvement. The platform integrates social media channels for broader community reach and engagement. From a security perspective, AeroPrecipe demonstrates a solid posture with HTTPS enforcement, clientTransferProhibited domain status, and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, it lacks explicit security policies, incident response information, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, which are areas for enhancement to strengthen trust and compliance. Overall, AeroPrecipe.com is a trustworthy, well-designed, and content-rich platform serving a niche coffee brewing community. Strategic recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, publishing comprehensive security and privacy policies, and establishing formal incident response and vulnerability disclosure processes to elevate security maturity and user trust.

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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

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

AeroPrecipe operates in the niche coffee brewing sector, focusing on AeroPress enthusiasts. Its competitive advantage lies in its extensive recipe database, community-driven content, and membership features that foster user loyalty. Revenue streams likely include affiliate links to coffee equipment and potential membership fees. The target customers are home brewers, professional baristas, and coffee aficionados seeking detailed AeroPress recipes and community interaction. Growth indicators include active social media presence and continuous content updates. The platform's partnership ecosystem includes links to official AeroPress products and coffee grinder brands. Operationally, the business maintains a lean structure with a focus on digital content delivery and community management.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and multiple security headers implemented, reducing common web vulnerabilities. The domain registration is transparent and consistent with the business identity, enhancing legitimacy. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive information were detected in the analyzed content. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response plan, and vulnerability disclosure program indicates gaps in formal security governance. Compliance with GDPR is partially evidenced by the cookie policy and consent mechanism, but a dedicated privacy policy with detailed data handling practices would improve compliance. Incident response readiness and communication channels for security issues are not publicly available, which could delay response to potential incidents.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy detailing data collection, usage, and user rights to improve GDPR compliance.
  3. Develop and publish a security policy and incident response plan accessible to users.
  4. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Enhance transparency by providing clear contact channels for security and privacy concerns.

The site uses optimized images and fonts, contributing to excellent mobile optimization and accessibility. No legacy or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided scripts.

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.
