Risk levelMedium

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

TGI Fridays operates a well-established hospitality business specializing in casual dining and bar services, targeting a general audience with a focus on bold flavors and social experiences. The website reflects a mature digital presence with a professional design, consistent branding, and integration of multiple analytics and marketing tools. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with the Divi theme and uses modern tracking and analytics services, though performance is moderate and DNSSEC is not enabled. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and domain lock statuses, but lacks visible security headers and formal security policies. Privacy compliance is partial, with cookie consent implemented but no explicit privacy or terms of service pages detected. Overall, the website is credible and trustworthy but could improve transparency and security practices.

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 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

  3. 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

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

TGI Fridays holds a strong market position as a large hospitality chain with a business model centered on dine-in and online ordering services. The company leverages digital marketing and analytics extensively to engage customers and optimize offerings. The absence of direct contact information and formal privacy/legal policies on the main site may limit customer trust and regulatory compliance. The brand benefits from long domain age and consistent WHOIS data, reinforcing legitimacy. Opportunities exist to enhance customer engagement through clearer contact channels and compliance documentation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS and domain registration protections. However, the lack of DNSSEC and missing security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represent gaps. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, which could hinder timely security communications. The extensive use of third-party tracking scripts increases the attack surface and privacy risks. Overall, security maturity is moderate but would benefit from formalized policies and technical hardening.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to enhance compliance and user trust.
  3. Implement security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to mitigate common web attacks.
  4. Add a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Provide clear contact information including security incident contacts to improve transparency and response readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern WordPress CMS with the Divi theme and integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools including Google Analytics, Facebook SDK, Hotjar, Heap Analytics, and Microsoft Clarity. Cookie consent is managed via CookieYes. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly with Yoast SEO plugin. Performance is moderate, likely impacted by numerous third-party scripts. No major technical errors detected in the provided content. Hosting details are not explicit but domain registrar is MarkMonitor Inc., a reputable provider. Technical debt appears low but security enhancements are recommended.
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.
