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

Kahwa Coffee Roasters is a medium-sized hospitality business focused on franchising coffee cafes primarily in the Tampa Bay area. Founded in 2022, the company offers franchise opportunities with a unique business model emphasizing personalized customer experiences, scalability, and strong community engagement. The website is professionally designed using WordPress with modern plugins and frameworks, providing a good user experience and SEO optimization. The technical infrastructure is solid, hosted likely on AWS with standard security practices such as HTTPS and Google reCAPTCHA integration. However, there are areas for improvement in security headers and DNSSEC implementation.

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. 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

Kahwa Coffee Roasters positions itself as a growing regional coffee franchise with over 15 locations and a large wholesale network. Its competitive advantage lies in a scalable franchise model that includes drive-thru and sit-down cafes, branded products, and a proprietary app. The target customers are entrepreneurs seeking franchise opportunities in the hospitality sector. The company supports franchisees with training, operational tools, and marketing strategies, fostering a community-oriented brand. The partnership with kahwa.clienttasks.com indicates a structured franchise management system. The business model is straightforward and designed for growth, with a focus on local market penetration and brand consistency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enforced and Google reCAPTCHA protecting forms. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security maturity. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact channels suggests limited transparency in security governance. To enhance security, the company should implement DNSSEC, add recommended security headers, and publish clear security and incident response policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add a cookie policy and consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and improve user trust.
  4. Publish terms of service and a security policy page to enhance transparency and legal compliance.
  5. Regularly audit and update all plugins and scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities and maintain security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using the X Theme and Cornerstone framework, leveraging jQuery and several plugins such as Contact Form 7 and Yoast SEO. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing tracking. The site loads moderately fast and is mobile optimized with good accessibility basics. Hosting appears to be on AWS infrastructure based on DNS servers. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, but there is room for improvement in security configurations and privacy compliance. The site uses Google reCAPTCHA v3 for spam protection on forms, enhancing form security. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional and scalable franchise website.
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.
