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

Takeaway.com operates as a leading online food delivery marketplace connecting consumers and restaurants across 14 European countries and Israel. The website content reflects a professional and consistent brand presence with clear links to regional partner sites. The business model focuses on facilitating food ordering and delivery services through an online platform, positioning itself as a market leader in Continental Europe. Technically, the website employs standard web technologies including Bootstrap and Google Analytics, with moderate performance and good mobile optimization. However, the absence of visible privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies on the main page indicates gaps in compliance and transparency. Security posture is moderate with no detected WAF or blocking mechanisms, but lacks security headers and visible SSL configuration details. WHOIS data is unavailable or protected, reducing domain registration transparency but not necessarily indicating illegitimacy. Overall, the site is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced security and privacy compliance measures.

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 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

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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

Takeaway.com holds a strong market position as a leading food delivery marketplace in Europe, leveraging a network of regional brands such as Thuisbezorgd.nl and Lieferando.de. The business model is platform-based, generating revenue through commissions or fees from restaurant partners and consumers. The target audience includes consumers seeking convenient food delivery and restaurants looking to expand their reach. The company appears large in scale, supported by multiple country-specific domains and partnerships. The ecosystem includes sister and partner sites across various European countries, indicating a broad operational footprint. Growth indicators include extensive localization and multi-language support. Strategic observations suggest a focus on regional market dominance and integration with local brands to enhance market penetration.

Security posture

The security maturity level of the website is moderate. While HTTPS is implied by the use of Google Analytics and modern scripts, explicit SSL configuration and security headers are not visible in the provided HTML content. No forms or input fields were detected, reducing immediate risk of injection attacks. The absence of privacy and cookie policies, as well as incident response contacts, indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and other data protection regulations. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found, limiting transparency for security researchers. The site does not appear to be protected by a WAF or similar security mechanisms, which could expose it to certain attack vectors. Overall, the security posture requires improvement in policy visibility, header implementation, and incident response readiness to align with best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to enhance GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve protection against common web attacks.
  3. Ensure HTTPS is enforced site-wide with strong SSL/TLS configurations and regularly audited certificates.
  4. Establish and publicize an incident response policy and contact channels to improve security transparency and readiness.
  5. Create a vulnerability disclosure program including a security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting and improve security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a standard HTML5 structure with Bootstrap CSS for responsive design and Google Analytics for user tracking. Legacy support scripts like HTML5shiv and Respond.js are included for older browsers. The site is mobile optimized with good navigation clarity and SEO meta tags. However, no CMS or hosting provider information is discernible from the HTML. Performance appears moderate with no explicit speed optimizations detected. Accessibility features are basic, with no ARIA roles or landmarks visible in the provided snippet. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and improved compliance-related content integration.
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.
