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

Corky's BBQ is a regional restaurant chain specializing in Memphis-style BBQ and ribs, offering dine-in services across multiple locations, online ordering for delivery and pickup, nationwide shipping of BBQ products, and catering services including private party rooms. The website reflects a well-established business with a consistent brand presence and active social media engagement. Technically, the site uses a modern technology stack including Umbraco CMS, JavaScript libraries, Braintree payment gateway, and analytics tools such as Google Analytics and Microsoft Application Insights. The site is mobile optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and professional design. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and use of reCAPTCHA, but lacks some security headers and explicit security policies. Privacy compliance is basic with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism. WHOIS data is unavailable, which reduces domain trustworthiness and suggests further verification is needed. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but could improve in transparency and security 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

6 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"

    • 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';…

  2. 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

    • 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 operates in the hospitality and retail sectors, focusing on BBQ food services and product sales. It leverages online platforms for e-commerce and catering, targeting consumers interested in authentic Memphis BBQ. The company maintains partnerships for online ordering, gift cards, and catering services, indicating a diversified revenue stream. The presence of multiple physical locations and a strong social media footprint supports its market position. The business model combines traditional restaurant services with modern e-commerce capabilities, enhancing customer reach and convenience. Growth potential exists through expanded online sales and catering offerings.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and Google reCAPTCHA is implemented to protect forms. The use of reputable payment gateways like Braintree adds to transactional security. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a gap. No visible security policy or incident response information is provided, which limits transparency. There is no evidence of vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy but no cookie consent banner. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but could be enhanced with better header implementation and published security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Add a cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and improve user transparency.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to enhance trust and preparedness.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to identify and remediate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to improve domain legitimacy and trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Umbraco CMS platform and uses a variety of modern JavaScript libraries and services including jQuery, Braintree payment gateway scripts, Google reCAPTCHA, Microsoft Application Insights, LogRocket, and Mapbox. The site loads multiple external resources from trusted CDNs and integrates marketing and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager and Mailchimp. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and responsive design. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. The technical infrastructure supports a robust e-commerce and content delivery experience but would benefit from enhanced security configurations and privacy compliance 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.
