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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
  2. 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';…
  3. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

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 · found on this site
  • 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

Barton G operates in the hospitality sector with a focus on restaurants, events, and catering. The company targets consumers looking for unique dining and event experiences, positioning itself as a premium brand. Its business model combines direct consumer services with event planning and catering, likely generating revenue from multiple streams. The website's integration with OpenTable and use of Klaviyo for marketing indicates a mature digital marketing approach. The presence of multiple restaurant locations and event types suggests a medium-sized operation. The company maintains a consistent brand image and provides clear navigation to key services. Partnerships with OpenTable and content hosting via virtuageek.com indicate a collaborative ecosystem. However, the lack of visible contact emails or phone numbers on the main page may limit direct customer engagement. The company appears to be growing its digital presence with good SEO and marketing tools but could enhance transparency and customer trust by publishing more detailed business and compliance information.

Security posture

The website's security posture is moderate. It uses a valid SSL certificate issued by a recognized issuer, but the SSL configuration lacks support for modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 are disabled). No HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) header is enabled, which is a missed opportunity to enforce HTTPS. Security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options are not present, reducing protection against common web attacks. The site sets a PHP session cookie without security flags like Secure or HttpOnly. There is no evidence of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure program. The site blocks certain sendBeacon requests to OpenTable, indicating some privacy consideration. Overall, while no critical vulnerabilities were detected, the site would benefit from implementing stronger security headers, enabling modern TLS versions, and publishing security-related policies to improve trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Enable HSTS with includeSubDomains and preload to enforce HTTPS and protect users from protocol downgrade attacks.
  2. Implement essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Upgrade SSL/TLS configuration to support TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 protocols for improved encryption and security.
  4. Add a cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and inform users about cookie usage.
  5. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan on the website to enhance transparency and preparedness.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.1, served by Apache web server, and uses Cloudflare for DNS management. It employs modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery, GSAP for animations, Swiper for sliders, and Floatbox for UI components. The site integrates marketing tools like Klaviyo and Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking. Performance metrics indicate fast load times, though no detailed resource counts or page size data were available. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design and preconnect hints for Google Fonts. SEO is enhanced by Yoast SEO plugin with structured data in JSON-LD format. However, the SSL configuration is outdated with no TLS 1.2 or 1.3 support, and security headers are minimal. The site uses OpenTable widgets for reservations, with some privacy controls on beacon requests. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and performant but requires security hardening and privacy compliance improvements.
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.
