Risk levelMedium

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

Joe's Pizza is a small, family-owned pizza restaurant established in 1975 in Greenwich Village, New York City. The business offers authentic New York-style pizza slices and has a strong local reputation. The website is built on the Squarespace platform and provides basic information about the business along with an online ordering link. The technical infrastructure is standard for a small hospitality business, with moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled but lacks advanced security headers and formal privacy or cookie policies. Contact information is not explicitly provided on the website, limiting direct customer engagement channels. Overall, the website serves as a digital presence for the business but could improve in compliance and security best practices.

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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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"

    • 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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

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

Joe's Pizza occupies a niche in the hospitality sector as a well-established local pizza institution in NYC. Its competitive advantage lies in its authentic product and long-standing history. The business model focuses on retail food service with online ordering capabilities. The target customers include tourists and local residents seeking traditional New York pizza. The website's partnership ecosystem is minimal, with only an Instagram social media presence. Growth indicators are not evident from the website content. The business operates independently without visible parent or subsidiary companies.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled, ensuring encrypted communications. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could mitigate common web vulnerabilities. There is no evidence of a formal security policy or incident response contact channels. Privacy compliance is weak due to the absence of privacy and cookie policies. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The security maturity level is basic, suitable for a small business but with room for improvement to meet higher compliance standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  2. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Provide clear contact information including email and phone number for customer support and incident response.
  4. Develop and publish a security policy outlining data protection and incident response procedures.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are used.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on Squarespace, leveraging its CMS and hosting infrastructure. It uses Typekit for fonts and standard JavaScript and CSS for functionality and styling. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design elements. Performance is moderate, typical for a Squarespace site with image-heavy content. SEO optimization is basic with meta tags and Open Graph tags present but no advanced SEO features detected. Accessibility features are minimal but present. There is no evidence of advanced analytics or tracking tools. The technical stack is modern but basic, suitable for a small hospitality business digital presence.
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.
