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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  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 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';…

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 serves as a key digital touchpoint for Vorwerk's Thermomix product ecosystem, reinforcing brand loyalty and driving subscription revenue through recipe access and meal planning tools. Its market position is strong as the official recipe portal, with a clear focus on the German market. The business model leverages digital content and e-commerce integration, including partnerships such as with Picnic for ingredient delivery. The absence of direct contact information on this page suggests customer support is likely centralized elsewhere. The platform's technical infrastructure and branding consistency support a premium user experience.

Security posture

Cookidoo.de exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms in place. However, the lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates room for improvement in transparency and user trust. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. Security headers are implied but not explicitly confirmed. The site would benefit from publishing a security.txt file and clear incident response procedures to enhance security culture and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from all pages.
  2. Implement and document a security policy and incident response contact information.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance security headers explicitly, including CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Provide clear and accessible contact information for customer and security inquiries to improve trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and Algolia for search functionality. It leverages Vorwerk Digital's pattern library and custom web components for UI consistency. Hosting is on AWS infrastructure, indicated by DNS servers. Performance is optimized with responsive images and lazy loading. Accessibility features such as ARIA roles and keyboard navigation are present. SEO is supported by meta tags and Open Graph data. There is no detected CMS explicitly, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Overall, the technical implementation is robust with minor opportunities for security header enhancements.
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.
