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

Specialised Nutrition Europe operates as an information and advocacy platform focused on specialised nutrition within the European region. The website serves professionals and stakeholders by providing relevant content and engagement opportunities. The business model centers on information dissemination and sector advocacy, positioning itself as a niche player in the specialised nutrition market. The website was first published in 2019 and maintains consistent branding and professional content quality. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Divi theme and Yoast SEO plugin, indicating a modern and flexible CMS infrastructure. It employs standard web technologies including jQuery and integrates Google Analytics for visitor tracking, with Cookiebot managing cookie consent to comply with privacy regulations. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and moderate performance, though some accessibility features could be enhanced. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and implements a cookie consent mechanism, which are positive indicators. However, it lacks visible security headers and does not provide explicit privacy policy or terms of service pages, which are important for compliance and trust. No WHOIS registrant data is available due to EURid privacy policies, but the domain appears legitimate and consistent with the business's stated purpose. Overall, the website presents a moderate risk profile with room for improvement in privacy compliance, security best practices, and transparency. Strategic recommendations include publishing comprehensive privacy and terms policies, implementing security headers, and providing clear contact information for incident response. These steps will enhance trustworthiness and regulatory 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

5 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. 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

  3. Network security

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

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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

Specialised Nutrition Europe targets a specialized segment within the nutrition industry, focusing on European stakeholders. Its competitive advantage lies in its niche focus and professional presentation. The business model is informational and advocacy-based, likely funded through memberships, partnerships, or sector collaborations. The website content and structure suggest a small-sized organization with a clear market position. The absence of parent or subsidiary companies indicates an independent entity. The partnership ecosystem is not explicitly detailed on the site, and no direct revenue streams are visible from the homepage content. Growth indicators are limited but the use of modern web technologies and SEO tools suggests an intent to expand reach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent is managed via Cookiebot, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present, limiting transparency for security researchers. The lack of explicit contact channels for security incidents further reduces incident response readiness. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. Compliance gaps exist in privacy policy publication and terms of service availability, which are critical under GDPR and NIS2 frameworks. The security culture appears nascent, with room for improvement in formalizing policies and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to enhance legal compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement standard security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection) to strengthen security posture.
  3. Create and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve incident response.
  4. Provide clear contact information for security incidents, including dedicated security or abuse email addresses.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities and maintain performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a widely used CMS platform, WordPress, with the Divi theme and Yoast SEO plugin, indicating a modern and SEO-friendly infrastructure. It uses jQuery and integrates Google Analytics for visitor tracking. Cookiebot is used for cookie consent management, supporting privacy compliance. The site loads multiple external resources from trusted CDNs such as Cloudflare and Google Fonts. Performance is moderate, with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. The technical debt appears low, but the absence of security headers and incomplete privacy documentation suggest areas for modernization. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the content. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but requires enhancements in security and compliance.
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.
