High risk. 10 critical or high findings in GDPR outside view, SSL/TLS and 1 other check.

Security score

43/100

Risk levelHigh

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

Barça is a well-established Spanish restaurant and bar located in Amsterdam's De Pijp neighborhood, offering authentic Catalan cuisine and a lively dining experience. The website reflects a small hospitality business with a focus on tapas, cocktails, group bookings, and workshops. The site is built on WordPress using Elementor and integrates modern marketing and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager, TikTok Pixel, and Facebook Pixel. While the technical infrastructure is solid with HTTPS and reCAPTCHA protections, the site lacks explicit privacy, cookie, and security policies, which impacts compliance and user trust. Contact information is clearly presented, and the site shows good design and user experience.

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

10 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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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"

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

Barça operates in the hospitality sector targeting local and visiting customers who appreciate Spanish cuisine and social dining. The business model centers on restaurant services with online reservations and group event hosting. The company has maintained a consistent brand presence for approximately 20 years, supported by customer testimonials and active social media engagement. Partnerships include reservation and payment processing via Formitable. The website content and structure support a professional image but could improve transparency on privacy and security matters.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enforcement and use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms. However, the absence of security headers, published security policies, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates room for improvement. The extensive use of third-party tracking pixels raises privacy concerns, especially without clear cookie consent or privacy policy disclosures. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for a small hospitality business but should be enhanced to meet GDPR and best practice standards.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Implement a cookie consent mechanism to inform users and obtain consent for tracking.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Create and publish an incident response policy and provide security contact channels.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and tracking pixels for privacy and security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern WordPress CMS with Elementor and Elementor Pro for page building, supported by jQuery and Swiper.js for interactive elements. It integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing tags, along with TikTok and Facebook pixels for user tracking. The site loads multiple CSS and JS assets from trusted CDNs and uses Google Fonts for typography. Performance is moderate with responsive design for mobile devices. Accessibility features are basic and could be improved. No major technical debt or errors were detected in the HTML content.
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.
