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

Deliveroo is a well-established online food delivery platform founded in 2012, operating primarily in the United Kingdom with a strong international presence. The company connects consumers with local restaurants, grocery stores, pharmacies, and gift services, offering fast and convenient delivery options. Deliveroo's market position is strong, supported by a large user base, extensive restaurant partnerships, and a robust rider network. The website reflects a mature digital presence with excellent design, clear navigation, and mobile optimization, supporting a seamless user experience across platforms. Technically, the site leverages modern frameworks such as React and Next.js, integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics, and employs OneTrust for cookie consent management, indicating a high level of digital maturity. Security-wise, the website enforces HTTPS, implements key security headers, and uses bot protection services, demonstrating a solid security posture. However, there is room for improvement in publishing explicit security policies and incident response contacts. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and compliant with GDPR, making it a reliable platform for users and partners alike.

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

2 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. 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 operates in the transportation and e-commerce sectors, focusing on food and related deliveries. Its business model is a marketplace platform that facilitates transactions between consumers, restaurants, and delivery riders. Revenue streams likely include delivery fees, commissions from restaurant partners, and promotional services. The target audience includes consumers seeking convenient food and grocery delivery, as well as restaurants and riders looking to expand their reach or earn income. Deliveroo maintains a strong partnership ecosystem, including dedicated portals for restaurants and riders, and actively promotes its services through social media and app stores. The company’s growth is supported by a consistent brand presence, comprehensive service offerings, and a large operational footprint. Strategic observations suggest continued investment in technology and user experience to maintain competitive advantage.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers in place, including Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security. The use of PerimeterX indicates proactive bot and abuse protection. Cookie consent is managed via OneTrust, supporting GDPR compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analysis. However, the absence of a publicly available security policy or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency. Incident response contact information is not explicitly provided, which could hinder timely reporting and resolution of security issues. Overall, the security measures are robust for a commercial e-commerce platform, but enhancing transparency and communication channels would strengthen the security culture and trust.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency on data retention and processing policies to improve user trust and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

Deliveroo's website is built on a modern technology stack including React and Next.js, enabling server-side rendering and fast performance. The site uses Google Tag Manager for analytics and OneTrust for cookie consent management, reflecting compliance with privacy regulations. Hosting appears to be via a CDN (roocdn.com) ensuring global content delivery and scalability. The website is well-optimized for mobile devices and accessibility, with proper meta tags and SEO practices implemented. Performance is fast, with preloading of fonts and stylesheets. The use of PerimeterX indicates attention to security and bot mitigation. Technical risks are minimal, but continuous monitoring and updates are recommended to maintain security and performance standards.
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.
