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

Keel Farms is a small hospitality business operating as a winery, brewery, and restaurant located in Plant City, Tampa Bay, Florida. The company offers a farm-fresh dining experience alongside onsite wine and beer production and retail sales. Their market position is focused on local and regional customers seeking a unique beverage and dining experience. The website is professionally designed using Squarespace, featuring good content quality and clear navigation tailored to mature audiences due to alcohol sales. Technically, the site leverages modern analytics and marketing tools such as Google Tag Manager, TikTok Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and Hotjar, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. However, some security best practices are lacking, including missing security headers and disabled HSTS, which could expose users to certain risks. Privacy compliance is minimal, with no visible privacy or cookie policies, which may pose regulatory risks. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professional but would benefit from enhanced security and privacy measures.

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

5 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 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

  3. 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

  4. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Unregistered MX Record

      MX record points to unregistered domain: aslt1.asomx.l.google.com

      What to do: Remove or fix MX record pointing to unregistered domain

      • RFC 5321 §5.1
      • NIS2 21(2)(i)
      • IR 2024/2690 12.4: Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 12.4: Asset inventory

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

Keel Farms operates in the hospitality sector, combining winery, brewery, and restaurant services. Their business model includes onsite production and direct-to-consumer sales, supported by an integrated ecommerce platform for wine orders with adult signature requirements. The company targets local residents and visitors in the Tampa Bay area, focusing on mature adults. The website's integration with VinoShipper suggests a strategic partnership for wine shipping compliance. The presence of multiple social media channels and marketing tools indicates active customer engagement and growth orientation. However, the absence of WHOIS data raises questions about domain registration legitimacy, which should be monitored. The company appears to maintain consistent branding and professional communication, supporting a positive market reputation.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications, but lacks critical security headers such as HSTS, Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options. This exposes the site to potential downgrade attacks, clickjacking, and MIME sniffing vulnerabilities. The use of multiple third-party scripts increases the attack surface, necessitating regular security reviews. No evidence of incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies was found, indicating limited security governance transparency. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms are absent, which may lead to non-compliance with GDPR and other privacy regulations. The site does implement age verification for alcohol sales, demonstrating some regulatory awareness. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires improvements to align with best practices and compliance standards.

Recommendations

  1. Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) to enforce HTTPS and prevent downgrade attacks.
  2. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish clear privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms to ensure regulatory compliance.
  4. Establish and communicate an incident response and vulnerability disclosure process.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and integrations for security vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Squarespace platform, leveraging its CMS capabilities for content management and ecommerce. It integrates multiple analytics and marketing technologies such as Google Tag Manager, TikTok Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Hotjar, and Flodesk, indicating a mature marketing infrastructure. The site uses VinoShipper for compliant wine shipping, reflecting domain-specific operational integration. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured data in JSON-LD format. However, the absence of advanced security headers and privacy controls indicates technical debt in security and compliance areas. The domain's WHOIS data is missing, which may reflect recent registration or privacy protection, representing a potential risk factor. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid for business operations but requires enhancements in security and privacy domains.
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.
