Risk levelMedium

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

下厨房 is a large Chinese culinary recipe and cooking community platform that provides a rich collection of user-generated recipes, cooking knowledge, and a sharing platform for chefs and food enthusiasts. The website is professionally designed with excellent content quality and targets Chinese-speaking home cooks interested in healthy and practical cooking. Technically, the site uses modern JavaScript libraries, multiple analytics services including Google Analytics and Baidu Analytics, and employs HTTPS with good SSL configuration. However, it lacks visible security headers and cookie consent mechanisms, which are areas for improvement. The WHOIS data for the domain is missing or unavailable, which raises some concerns about domain registration transparency but does not detract from the website's professional appearance and compliance with Chinese regulatory requirements such as ICP licensing. Overall, the site is trustworthy and well-positioned in its market segment but should enhance its security posture and privacy compliance to align with best 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 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. 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

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

下厨房 operates as a content-driven community platform focused on cooking and recipes, leveraging user-generated content to engage a large audience in China. Its business model centers on providing practical cooking knowledge and a social platform for food lovers. The presence of ICP license and public security registration numbers indicates regulatory compliance in China. The site integrates with social media platforms like Weibo and Twitter to extend its reach. While the domain registration details are opaque, the platform's extensive content and active user base suggest a mature and established operation. The company likely generates revenue through advertising, partnerships, and possibly premium content or services. The platform's ecosystem includes job listings and published books, indicating diversified business activities.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses secure SSL configurations, which is a strong security baseline. However, the absence of common security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces its defense-in-depth. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are publicly available, limiting transparency in security management. The use of multiple analytics and tracking scripts suggests moderate user tracking, but no explicit cookie consent mechanism was detected, which may pose compliance risks under privacy regulations. No obvious vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing security headers, cookie consent, and public security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Deploy a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and improve user transparency.
  3. Publish an incident response plan and vulnerability disclosure policy to build trust and facilitate security issue reporting.
  4. Investigate and clarify domain WHOIS registration details to improve domain trustworthiness and transparency.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking services to minimize privacy risks and optimize performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end stack with JavaScript and CSS frameworks such as Pure CSS for layout. It integrates multiple analytics platforms including Google Analytics, Baidu Analytics, and Sensors Data Analytics, indicating a mature approach to user behavior tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and includes meta tags for SEO and social media verification. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts. No CMS or hosting provider information is explicitly detected. Accessibility features are basic but present. The site could benefit from enhanced technical SEO and accessibility improvements. No critical technical debt or outdated libraries were identified in the provided HTML content.
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.
