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

11 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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 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';…

  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

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 · found on this site
  • 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

Koocook occupies a niche market in meal planning and healthy eating, targeting French-speaking consumers interested in saving time and money while eating healthily. Its freemium business model allows broad access with incentives to upgrade for enhanced personalization and features. The company benefits from a long-established domain and consistent branding. The platform integrates third-party services for analytics and payments, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. However, the absence of direct contact details and security policies may limit trust for some users. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries. The company appears focused on organic growth within its niche.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security posture. HTTPS is enforced, and the domain is protected against unauthorized transfers. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and no security headers are detected in the HTML content, which could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. There is no published security policy or incident response contact, which is a gap in transparency and readiness. The login form uses secure password fields but lacks visible multi-factor authentication or advanced protections. Third-party scripts like Google Analytics and Stripe are used, which require ongoing monitoring for vulnerabilities. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be improved with standard best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and user trust.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to minimize vulnerability exposure.
  5. Consider adding direct company contact information (email, phone) to improve business credibility and user support.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and widely adopted technology stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for DOM manipulation, and Google services for analytics and tag management. Stripe is integrated for payment processing, indicating e-commerce capabilities. The site is hosted on infrastructure likely provided by SwissCenter, as inferred from nameservers. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of analytics scripts. Mobile optimization is good, with viewport meta tags and responsive CSS. Accessibility is basic but present. SEO is supported by meta tags and Open Graph data. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or lightweight platform. Technical risks include lack of DNSSEC and missing security headers, which should be addressed to reduce attack surface.
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.
