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. 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

  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 business positions itself as a premium steakhouse chain with five locations, targeting steak lovers, business diners, and families. Their business model includes physical dining services and online gift voucher sales via a partner domain. The company emphasizes quality, sustainability, and excellent service, which are key competitive advantages. The partnership with a local design agency and voucher shop indicates a collaborative ecosystem. Growth potential is supported by multiple locations and a clear brand identity. However, the lack of visible direct contact details on the main site could be improved to enhance customer communication.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS with a valid SSL configuration, ensuring encrypted communications. Cookie consent mechanisms are in place, supporting privacy compliance. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options is a gap that could be addressed to improve security posture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of third-party analytics and tracking pixels is moderate and standard for hospitality websites. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, which is common but could be improved for transparency and trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a visible contact page or section with verified company emails and phone numbers to improve user trust and communication.
  3. Publish a security policy or incident response contact to demonstrate commitment to security and compliance.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider adding a terms of service page to clarify user and business obligations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using Bootstrap 4 for responsive design and jQuery for scripting. It employs modern libraries such as Slick Slider and AOS for enhanced user experience. Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel are integrated for analytics and marketing. The site loads scripts asynchronously to improve performance. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive layouts and viewport meta tags. SEO is supported by Yoast SEO plugin with proper meta tags and structured JSON-LD data. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in caching and resource optimization. Accessibility features are basic but present.
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.
