Deliveroo Students is a specialized sub-brand of Deliveroo targeting university students in the United Kingdom, offering free delivery and exclusive restaurant discounts throughout the academic year. The website is designed with a modern Next.js framework and hosted on Vercel, providing a fast and mobile-optimized user experience. The site includes a sign-up form collecting university email addresses with required consent for terms and optional marketing communications, reflecting basic privacy compliance. However, no cookie consent mechanism is present, and no direct contact information is provided on the site. The domain WHOIS lookup failed due to an invalid domain name per Nominet UK rules, raising concerns about the domain's registration legitimacy despite the professional branding and linkage to official Deliveroo domains.

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
5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.
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"
This scan found 24 issues across 6 checks. Monitoring re-runs those checks daily, emails you when something material changes and records each fix, so you can show progress.

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.

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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Business context
Business profile
The business model focuses on leveraging Deliveroo's existing food delivery platform to engage the student demographic through targeted discounts and free delivery offers. This approach aims to increase order volume and brand loyalty among university students. The website's linkage to the main Deliveroo domain and privacy policies suggests it is an official or closely affiliated campaign. The absence of direct contact details and the invalid domain registration may indicate a temporary or campaign-specific domain rather than a standalone entity. The market positioning is clear, targeting a niche segment within the broader food delivery market in the UK.
Security posture
The website employs HTTPS and secure form inputs with required consent checkboxes, indicating basic security hygiene. However, no security headers were detected in the provided data, and no explicit security or incident response policies are published. The lack of a cookie consent mechanism is a compliance gap under GDPR. The domain registration irregularity is a significant concern for trustworthiness. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved by implementing security headers, explicit incident response contacts, and enhanced privacy compliance mechanisms.
Recommendations
Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to ensure compliance with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
Publish explicit security and incident response policies, including contact channels for reporting security issues.
Verify and correct domain registration to ensure legitimacy and avoid trust issues related to invalid domain names.
Enhance transparency by providing clear contact information and business credentials on the website.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on a modern React-based Next.js framework and hosted on Vercel, ensuring fast loading times and excellent mobile responsiveness. The use of deferred JavaScript loading and preloading of key assets contributes to performance optimization. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured page titles. Accessibility is addressed with semantic HTML and form labels. However, no CMS is detected, and no server-side security headers were found in the provided data. The domain registration issue represents a technical risk that could impact business operations and user trust.
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.
