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

Business profile

Vorwerk leverages Cookidoo.fr as a strategic digital platform to enhance the Thermomix® user experience in France. The business model revolves around subscription revenue from users seeking curated recipes and meal planning tools. The platform's competitive advantage lies in its official status and integration with Thermomix® appliances, creating a strong ecosystem lock-in. The target market includes home cooks and culinary enthusiasts in France, supported by localized content and French language. The company maintains a consistent brand presence and invests in user engagement features such as tutorials and themed collections. Partnerships with technology providers like Algolia and OneTrust enhance search and compliance capabilities. Growth indicators include continuous content updates and promotional campaigns visible in the slider teasers. The platform does not publicly expose direct contact or security incident channels, which could be improved for transparency.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and integrates a cookie consent banner, indicating awareness of GDPR and security best practices. The use of AWS DNS and modern JavaScript frameworks suggests a robust infrastructure. However, the absence of explicit security headers in the visible content and lack of published security policies or incident response contacts represent areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site does not display a security.txt or vulnerability disclosure page, which is recommended for mature digital platforms. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by publishing clear security policies and ensuring comprehensive HTTP security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear and accessible privacy policy and terms of service on the main navigation or footer.
  2. Implement and verify HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Provide visible contact information for security incidents or abuse reports, including a security@ or abuse@ email address.
  4. Consider publishing a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures and improve transparency.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance by detailing data retention policies and user rights related to personal data.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and integrates third-party services like Algolia for search and OneTrust for cookie consent management. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features such as ARIA roles and keyboard navigation support. Hosting is supported by AWS DNS infrastructure, ensuring reliability. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in image loading and script management. The site uses a custom pattern library and web components framework developed by Vorwerk Digital, indicating a tailored and maintainable front-end architecture. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary content management approach. Overall, the technical implementation is solid with room for performance tuning and enhanced security header deployment.
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.
