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

My Therapist Cooks is a niche recipe blog founded in 2020, focusing on easy, family-friendly recipes for busy households. The website offers a wide range of recipes including gluten-free and kid-friendly options, positioning itself as a helpful resource for home cooks seeking quick and delicious meal ideas. The business model revolves around content publishing with monetization through advertising and subscription newsletters. Technically, the site is built on WordPress, leveraging popular plugins like Yoast SEO and WP Rocket for SEO and performance optimization. It uses Mediavine for advertising and Google Analytics for traffic analysis, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enabled, security headers present, and domain registration consistent and transparent. However, the site lacks publicly available privacy and cookie policies, as well as incident response information, which are areas for improvement. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and safe for general audiences, but could enhance compliance and transparency to strengthen user trust and regulatory adherence.

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

The website targets busy families and home cooks, offering easy and kid-friendly recipes. It holds a small but focused market position within the food blogging niche. Revenue streams likely include advertising via Mediavine and subscription-based newsletters. The site maintains active social media profiles on Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest, supporting community engagement and brand visibility. The business appears independent with no parent or subsidiary companies identified. Growth indicators include consistent content updates and SEO optimization. Strategic partnerships with advertising networks and marketing tools enhance monetization and audience reach.

Security posture

The site demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented. The domain registration is transparent and consistent with the business age and claims, enhancing legitimacy. However, the absence of explicit privacy, cookie, and incident response policies represents compliance gaps, particularly under GDPR and similar regulations. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The use of third-party scripts for ads and analytics introduces potential risk vectors that should be regularly audited. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be improved by formalizing policies and disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement a cookie consent mechanism to meet GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Add an incident response policy and contact information for security issues.
  4. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern WordPress CMS with performance optimizations via WP Rocket and SEO enhancements through Yoast SEO. It integrates multiple third-party services including Mediavine for advertising and Google Analytics for traffic monitoring. The site is mobile-optimized and loads quickly, indicating good technical infrastructure. Hosting is provided by DreamHost, LLC, a reputable provider. The domain uses Cloudflare nameservers, suggesting some level of CDN and security service usage. Accessibility features are basic but present. There is room for improvement in formalizing privacy and security policies to reduce technical debt and compliance risk.
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.
