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

EcoBean is a Polish startup specializing in transforming spent coffee grounds into sustainable, bio-based chemicals for various industries including beauty, food, and packaging. The company promotes circular economy principles and sustainability, positioning itself as an innovative player in green technology. The website is professionally designed using WordPress and includes SEO optimization and cookie consent mechanisms, reflecting a moderate level of digital maturity. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and reCAPTCHA usage, though lacks some advanced security headers and explicit security policies. Privacy compliance is partially met with cookie consent but lacks a visible privacy policy. Overall, the website is trustworthy and business-focused but could improve 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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  2. 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"

  3. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • High

      No DMARC record found

      DMARC provides email authentication and reporting

      What to do: Add DMARC record: "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@yourdomain.com"

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

EcoBean operates in the technology sector with a focus on sustainability and circular economy. Its business model revolves around valorizing coffee waste into high-value chemicals, targeting B2B customers in multiple sectors. The company has media recognition from reputable outlets, enhancing its market position. The website content and structure support a professional image, though direct contact details are limited to a contact form. The company was founded in 2017 and is hosted by a Polish provider, aligning with its regional focus. Growth indicators include partnerships and press coverage, but no subsidiaries or parent companies are identified.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms, indicating good baseline security practices. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security or incident response policies represent gaps. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present, limiting transparency for security researchers. Cookie consent is implemented with customization options, supporting GDPR compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Overall, the security posture is good but can be enhanced by adding security headers and formal policies.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve transparency and compliance.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security.
  3. Implement security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with popular plugins such as Yoast SEO, WPBakery Page Builder, and Slider Revolution, indicating a modern and flexible CMS environment. It uses Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for tracking and marketing. Hosting is provided by home.pl S.A., a reputable Polish hosting provider. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. The site includes a cookie consent banner with detailed preference management, reflecting attention to privacy compliance. Technical debt appears low, but improvements in security headers and accessibility could reduce risks and improve user experience.
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.
