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

Malta Meat Free Week is a campaign-focused website promoting a meat free lifestyle in Malta and Gozo. The site encourages community participation through events and contests, supported by partners such as VeggyMalta. The business operates primarily as a local awareness initiative with a small organizational footprint, founded in 2018. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Divi theme, with MailerLite integrated for email marketing and form management. The site is hosted by NameCheap and uses HTTPS, but lacks advanced DNS security features like DNSSEC and security headers. Privacy compliance is weak, with no visible privacy or cookie policies, which poses a compliance risk. Security posture is moderate with no critical vulnerabilities detected, but improvements are recommended in security headers and incident response contact information. Overall, the website is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security practices to improve trust and compliance.

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

9 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 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

The website targets residents and visitors in Malta interested in adopting a meat free lifestyle. It operates as a non-profit or campaign-based model, leveraging partnerships such as VeggyMalta for recipe ideas and subscribepage.com for user sign-ups. The market position is local and niche, focusing on lifestyle change and community engagement. Revenue streams are likely limited or based on sponsorships and partnerships. The site demonstrates consistent branding and good content quality, but lacks detailed business contact information and formal privacy disclosures. Growth potential exists through expanded partnerships and enhanced digital marketing.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate. The site uses HTTPS and has domain transfer protections enabled, but lacks DNSSEC and security headers which are important for defense in depth. No vulnerability disclosure or security policy is published, limiting transparency and incident response readiness. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. Incident response channels are not provided, which could delay handling of security issues. Overall, the security culture appears basic and would benefit from formalized policies and technical enhancements.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit consent mechanisms to comply with GDPR.
  4. Add a security or vulnerability disclosure policy and provide dedicated contact channels for incident reporting.
  5. Include clear contact information on the website to improve trust and facilitate communication.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern CMS platform (WordPress) using the Divi theme, which provides flexibility and ease of content management. The integration of MailerLite supports email marketing and user engagement. Hosting is provided by NameCheap, a reputable provider. Performance is moderate with responsive design for mobile devices. SEO optimization is basic with meta tags present but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags detected. Accessibility features are minimal but functional. Technical debt appears low, but security and privacy technical implementations require improvement to meet best practices and regulatory requirements.
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.
