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

NutriData is a government-operated nutrition information system managed by the Estonian Health Development Institute (Tervise Arengu Instituut). It offers a suite of nutrition-related applications including diet analysis programs, food composition databases, product calculation tools, and nutrition survey software. The platform serves a broad audience ranging from individual users and healthcare professionals to food producers and researchers, positioning itself as an authoritative national resource for nutrition data and analysis in Estonia. The website is well-structured, content-rich, and provides comprehensive information about its services, training, and team members. Technically, the website is built as a modern Angular single-page application leveraging Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Google reCAPTCHA for analytics and security. The site is mobile-optimized and uses standard web fonts and icons for a professional appearance. While the site uses HTTPS and some security best practices, it lacks certain HTTP security headers and a cookie consent mechanism, which are recommended for enhanced security and privacy compliance. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates good practices such as encrypted connections and form protection via reCAPTCHA. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. WHOIS data confirms the domain's legitimacy and consistency with the official institution managing the site. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates room for improvement in security transparency and incident readiness. Overall, NutriData presents a trustworthy, professional, and functional nutrition information platform with strong government backing. Strategic enhancements in privacy compliance, security headers, and incident response documentation would further strengthen its security posture and user trust.

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.

Priority findings

10 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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';…

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

NutriData operates as a government-funded public service providing free nutrition-related software and data tools. Its market positioning is strong as the official national nutrition information system in Estonia, supported by the Health Development Institute. The business model focuses on public health and education rather than commercial revenue, targeting a wide range of users including individuals, educational institutions, food producers, and researchers. The platform's ecosystem includes multiple specialized applications hosted on subdomains, indicating a modular and scalable approach. The presence of training calendars and FAQs suggests active user engagement and support. Partnerships with official government domains and integration with national nutrition policies reinforce its authoritative status. Growth indicators include ongoing updates, training events, and multi-language support for some components.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms from abuse. No exposed credentials or sensitive data were found in the HTML content. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. There is no visible security policy or incident response information published, which limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. GDPR compliance is partially addressed with a privacy policy, but cookie consent mechanisms are missing. The use of modern frameworks and libraries reduces the risk of known vulnerabilities, but continuous monitoring and updates are recommended. Overall, the security posture is good but can be improved by adopting additional best practices and publishing security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and inform users about cookie usage.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Create and maintain a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users and comply with accessibility standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Angular 11 as a single-page application, leveraging modern web technologies such as Google reCAPTCHA v3 for bot protection and Google Tag Manager for analytics management. The use of FontAwesome and Material Icons provides a consistent UI experience. The site is mobile responsive and uses Bootstrap CSS for layout and styling. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and optimized assets. The absence of a traditional CMS suggests a custom-built solution tailored for the specific needs of the nutrition information system. Technical risks include potential lack of automated security header enforcement and missing cookie consent, which could impact compliance and security posture. Opportunities exist to modernize further by adopting progressive web app features and enhancing SEO and accessibility.
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.
