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

Piece of Cake is a small retail bakery business based in Atlanta, Georgia, specializing in gourmet cakes, cupcakes, and treats with nationwide shipping capabilities. Established in 1985, the company has built a loyal customer base and offers custom baked goods for celebrations and everyday enjoyment. Their business model combines local retail presence with e-commerce through a dedicated online ordering platform. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear navigation and relevant content targeting consumers and corporate clients seeking quality baked goods and gifts. Technically, the website uses a classic Bootstrap framework with jQuery and integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools such as Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and Twitter tracking. While the site is mobile optimized and performs moderately well, some technical debt is evident with the use of outdated libraries and lack of modern security headers. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS usage but lacks explicit security policies, incident response information, and cookie consent mechanisms, which are important for compliance and trust. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain is a notable anomaly that reduces overall trustworthiness, although the website content and business information appear legitimate and professional. Strategic improvements in security headers, privacy compliance, and WHOIS transparency would enhance the site's credibility and security stance.

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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

  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

  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 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

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 company operates in the retail sector focusing on gourmet bakery products with a strong local presence in Atlanta and a national shipping service. Their competitive advantage lies in their long-standing reputation since 1985, quality ingredients, and custom artistry in cake making. Revenue streams include direct consumer sales via e-commerce, corporate gifting, and local store sales. The target customer segments include individual consumers for personal celebrations, corporate clients for gifts and events, and event planners. The company leverages partnerships with third-party platforms for online ordering and recruitment. Growth indicators include active social media engagement and a dedicated online ordering system. The business ecosystem is supported by integrations with marketing and analytics services, though there is room for improvement in privacy and security transparency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and use of asynchronous loading for tracking scripts to minimize performance impact. However, it lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, which are essential to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. The use of an outdated jQuery version may expose the site to known vulnerabilities. No explicit security policy or incident response contact information is published, which limits transparency and preparedness. The absence of a cookie consent mechanism indicates potential non-compliance with GDPR and other privacy regulations. Overall, while no immediate vulnerabilities are evident from the content, the security posture would benefit from enhancements in headers, updated libraries, and published policies to reduce risk and improve compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Update jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to the latest secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  3. Add a clear cookie consent banner and privacy controls to comply with GDPR and enhance user trust.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data issue to improve domain registration trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Bootstrap 3.3.5 with jQuery 1.10.1, indicating a somewhat dated but stable front-end framework. It integrates multiple third-party analytics and marketing tools including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, Twitter Conversion Tracking, Pinterest Pin It, and YouTube iframe API. The site is mobile responsive and has a moderate performance profile. SEO optimization is basic with meta tags and canonical links present but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags detected. Accessibility features are minimal but navigation is clear and user-friendly. Hosting provider and CMS are not explicitly identified, suggesting a custom or lightly managed hosting environment. Technical debt is present due to outdated libraries and lack of modern security practices, which could impact long-term maintainability and security.
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.
