Security score

43/100

Risk levelHigh

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

Bengal Brasserie is a small hospitality business operating as the largest Indian restaurant in Ireland, located on Lisburn Road, Belfast. The website presents a professional and well-branded digital presence built on WordPress with WooCommerce and Elementor, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. The site includes SEO optimizations and marketing integrations such as Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel, supporting customer engagement and business growth. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer protections, but lacks advanced security headers and explicit security policies. Privacy compliance is partial, with a cookie consent mechanism but no visible privacy policy or terms of service. Overall, the website is functional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced security and compliance documentation.

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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • Critical

      DNS Resolution Failed

      Unable to resolve domain A records

      What to do: Verify domain is properly configured and not expired

  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

  3. 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

    • 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

The business positions itself as a leading Indian restaurant in Ireland, targeting general consumers interested in Indian cuisine. Its business model focuses on dine-in and possibly online ordering or booking via WooCommerce. The website's marketing tools and analytics indicate an intent to grow and engage customers digitally. The absence of detailed contact information and formal policies suggests room for improvement in transparency and customer trust. No partnerships or subsidiaries are evident from the domain analysis.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS and has domain transfer protections, which are positive security indicators. However, the lack of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options reduces its defense-in-depth. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published, which could hinder rapid response to security events. The cookie consent implementation aligns with GDPR requirements but lacks a comprehensive privacy policy. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved with standard best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve compliance and customer trust.
  2. Implement DNSSEC and security headers to enhance domain and web application security.
  3. Add explicit contact information including company emails and phone numbers for transparency.
  4. Develop and publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet compliance and improve user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress stack using Astra theme, WooCommerce, and Elementor page builder. It integrates common marketing and analytics tools such as Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and WonderPush for push notifications. Performance is moderate with responsive design and SEO optimizations via Yoast SEO. Hosting details are not explicit but domain registrar is eNom, LLC. The site uses multiple external scripts and stylesheets, which may impact load times. There is no evidence of outdated or vulnerable libraries in the scanned content. Technical debt appears low, but security enhancements are recommended.
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.
