Risk levelMedium

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

Caffe Shop Ltd operates as the exclusive distributor of Gaggia Milano coffee machines in the United Kingdom and Ireland, targeting consumers and businesses interested in premium coffee equipment. The website presents a professional and well-branded digital storefront with clear navigation and multimedia content showcasing their product ranges. Technically, the site leverages modern JavaScript libraries and third-party integrations such as Google Analytics, PayPal SDK, and Trustpilot, hosted on the EditMySite platform. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and bot protection via reCAPTCHA, but lacks visible security headers and explicit privacy or cookie policies. The absence of WHOIS registration data for the domain raises concerns about domain legitimacy and reduces overall trust. Strategic improvements in transparency, security headers, and compliance documentation are recommended to enhance credibility and user trust.

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

7 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

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 company holds an exclusive distribution agreement for Gaggia Milano in the UK and Ireland, positioning itself in a niche retail market for coffee machines and accessories. The business model focuses on direct retail and customer support, leveraging online sales channels. The website integrates marketing and analytics tools to support customer engagement and conversion. However, the lack of visible contact information and privacy documentation may hinder customer confidence. The company appears small in size with a focused market presence. No parent or subsidiary relationships were identified. The use of Trustpilot and PayPal indicates an emphasis on customer trust and secure transactions.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and use of Google reCAPTCHA to mitigate automated abuse. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The lack of explicit security or incident response policies and contact channels limits the site's readiness for security incidents. Compliance with GDPR and cookie consent mechanisms is not evident, representing a compliance gap. Overall, the security posture is functional but could be significantly improved with standard best practices and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add standard security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection against web attacks.
  3. Provide clear and accessible contact information including security incident contacts to improve trust and incident response readiness.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Investigate and resolve the domain WHOIS registration status to establish domain legitimacy and improve business credibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the EditMySite platform, utilizing a combination of jQuery, Backbone.js, and various third-party libraries for analytics, marketing, and UI enhancements. The site includes multimedia content such as videos and animations, contributing to a rich user experience. Performance is moderate, with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is supported by appropriate meta tags and Open Graph data. However, the site lacks visible security headers and explicit privacy-related scripts or banners. Hosting provider details are not evident from the content. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern but could benefit from enhanced security and privacy implementations.
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.
