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. 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"

  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

    • 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

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 business leverages a content-driven model providing specialty coffee information and B2B services, generating revenue likely through advertising (Google Adsense), affiliate sales, and possibly direct B2B transactions. The target audience includes specialty coffee consumers and industry professionals. The company maintains a social media presence on Instagram to engage its community. The website's structured data and SEO optimizations support discoverability. Partnerships or subsidiaries are not explicitly identified. Growth indicators include event promotion and expanding coffee roaster listings. The business ecosystem appears focused on specialty coffee culture and commerce within Barcelona and Europe.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer protection. However, it lacks advanced security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. DNSSEC is not enabled, which could improve DNS security. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available. Forms are present but no explicit anti-CSRF or input validation details are visible. The site uses reputable hosting and content delivery services, reducing risk exposure. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could benefit from enhancements to align with best practices and compliance requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Enable and configure DNSSEC to enhance domain name system security.
  2. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy.
  3. Publish clear privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve legal compliance and user trust.
  4. Conduct regular security audits of WordPress plugins and themes to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance form security with anti-CSRF tokens and robust input validation to prevent injection attacks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress infrastructure using the Citadela theme and multiple plugins for directory and e-commerce functionality. It integrates Google Maps API for location services and Google Analytics for user tracking. The site uses WooCommerce for e-commerce features and Yoast SEO for search engine optimization. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. Hosting is provided by Bluehost Inc., a reputable provider. The site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate but lacks some advanced security configurations. The technical stack is well-suited for the business model but could be improved with enhanced security and privacy features.
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.
