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

3 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 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 Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Deliveroo's market positioning as a leading food delivery service in the UK is supported by its extensive partner network, corporate services, and consumer-focused offerings. The business model leverages a platform approach, generating revenue through delivery fees, partnerships, and subscription services like Deliveroo Plus. The company targets a broad consumer base seeking convenience in food and grocery delivery, including corporate clients. Its partnership ecosystem includes restaurants, riders, and corporate customers, enhancing market reach and service diversity. The presence of multiple localized domains and social media channels indicates a strategic international footprint. Deliveroo's operational scale and brand consistency underscore its large enterprise status with a strong growth trajectory.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and secure handling of user inputs and forms. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. However, the absence of a publicly accessible dedicated security policy or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency. Incident response contact channels are available via a public authority requests page, indicating some level of preparedness. Compliance with GDPR is evident through privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms. Recommendations include publishing explicit security policies, DPO contact details, and establishing a formal vulnerability disclosure process to enhance security culture and stakeholder trust.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and incident response procedures.
  2. Provide clear contact information for the Data Protection Officer or security team to improve transparency.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance visibility of incident response contacts and procedures on the website to build user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

Deliveroo's technical infrastructure is modern and robust, leveraging React and Next.js frameworks for server-side rendering and client-side interactivity. The use of a CDN (roocdn.com) ensures fast content delivery and scalability. Integration with Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and OneTrust indicates mature marketing and compliance tooling. The website is optimized for mobile devices and accessibility, with proper meta tags and SEO practices in place. Performance is fast with preloading of fonts and stylesheets. The technical stack supports a seamless user experience and efficient order processing. Opportunities exist to further document technical security controls and enhance transparency around data retention and processing.
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.
