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

EasyVeggieIdeas.com is a UK-based media website operated by Artichoke Media Limited, specializing in vegetarian recipes and related lifestyle content such as cruelty-free beauty and eco living. The site offers a large collection of free recipes curated by professional cooks and chefs, targeting vegetarians, vegans, and eco-conscious consumers. The business model is primarily content publishing supported by advertising and newsletter subscriptions, positioning itself as a niche media player in the vegetarian lifestyle market. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, DoubleClick advertising, and jQuery libraries. It features responsive design optimized for mobile devices and includes cookie consent mechanisms compliant with GDPR. Performance is moderate with good SEO and basic accessibility features. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and implements CSRF tokens in forms, but lacks explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Privacy compliance is good with clear privacy and cookie policies. However, the absence of WHOIS data for the domain reduces transparency and trustworthiness. Overall, the website is professional, content-rich, and user-friendly with a solid privacy posture. The main risk lies in the lack of domain registration transparency, which should be addressed to improve trust. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing a security policy, and providing clearer direct contact information.

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 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 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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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 website operates in the media sector focusing on vegetarian and plant-based lifestyle content. It leverages advertising and newsletter subscriptions as revenue streams. The target audience includes vegetarians, vegans, and environmentally conscious consumers. The company maintains active social media channels to engage users. The business appears small but well-branded with consistent content quality. The lack of WHOIS data is a notable anomaly that may affect partner and user trust. No direct partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the data.

Security posture

The security maturity level is moderate. HTTPS is enforced site-wide, and forms use CSRF tokens, indicating basic security hygiene. However, the absence of key security headers and no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies indicate room for improvement. No exposed credentials or vulnerabilities were found. Privacy compliance is supported by cookie consent and privacy policies aligned with GDPR. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not evident from the site content.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Enhance direct contact options by providing verified company emails and phone numbers for support and security reporting.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and advertising integrations to minimize security risks.
  5. Address WHOIS data availability to improve domain registration transparency and legitimacy perception.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack with Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and DoubleClick for advertising. It relies on jQuery libraries and includes cookie consent via Termly and marketing tools like OptinMonster. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good SEO meta tags. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts. No CMS was explicitly detected. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Technical debt appears low, but security header implementation is lacking. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and security posture.
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.
