Akademia Smaku is a Polish content platform specializing in culinary recipes and interior design inspirations. The website offers a variety of recipes, tips, and product selections primarily targeting general audiences interested in cooking and home appliances. The site maintains a partnership with Bosch Home, enhancing its market credibility and commercial reach. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies such as ES modules, Google Tag Manager, and Swiper.js for interactive content, ensuring a fast and mobile-optimized user experience. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data, but lacks advanced security headers and explicit privacy or cookie policies, which are critical for GDPR compliance. The domain is well-established since 2009, registered with a reputable registrar, and shows no signs of suspicious activity or blocking mechanisms. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from improved privacy compliance and security policy transparency.

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

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  2. 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 operates in the content and affiliate marketing space, focusing on culinary and home appliance sectors. Its partnership with Bosch Home suggests a strategic alliance that likely drives revenue through product recommendations and advertising. The target market is broad, encompassing cooking enthusiasts and homeowners in Poland. The business model appears to be content-driven with monetization via affiliate links and brand partnerships. The site’s longevity and consistent branding indicate a stable market position, though the absence of detailed business and contact information limits full transparency. Growth potential exists through enhanced user engagement and expanded commercial partnerships.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with mandatory HTTPS enabled and no visible sensitive data leaks. However, it lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could mitigate common web attacks. There is no evidence of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure mechanism, which are important for mature security governance. The absence of cookie consent mechanisms and privacy policies also poses compliance risks under GDPR. No WAF or blocking mechanisms were detected, indicating open accessibility but also potential exposure to automated threats. Overall, security practices are basic and should be enhanced to meet industry standards and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to improve DNS security.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Provide clear contact information including security or abuse contacts to improve trust and incident response readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end stack with ES modules and asynchronous script loading, contributing to good performance and responsiveness. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing, indicating data-driven operations. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and preloading of critical assets. However, no CMS or backend technology was explicitly identified from the HTML. Hosting details are not disclosed beyond the registrar information. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data for breadcrumbs and page description. Accessibility features are basic and could be improved. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced security and privacy technical controls.
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.
