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

YOUCOOK is a German-based food retail brand specializing in delivering authentic Asian street-food style ready meals that can be prepared quickly at home or office. The company emphasizes high-quality ingredients without artificial preservatives and targets consumers seeking convenient, tasty meals. The website is built on TYPO3 CMS and integrates common web technologies such as jQuery and Slick Slider for UI enhancements. Social media presence and customer testimonials enhance brand trust. However, the absence of WHOIS data for the domain raises questions about domain registration legitimacy, although the website content and linkage to the Heristo Gruppe parent company support its authenticity. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS implied but lacking explicit security headers and cookie consent mechanisms. Privacy policies are present but basic, with GDPR compliance indicated through linked pages. Overall, the site is professional and functional but could improve security and compliance transparency.

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 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 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

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 business operates in the retail food sector, focusing on ready-to-eat Asian cuisine distributed via supermarkets. Its competitive advantage lies in authentic taste, convenience, and quality ingredients. The business model is direct retail sales supported by digital marketing and social media engagement. The parent company, Heristo Gruppe, provides corporate backing and legal framework. The target market includes working professionals and consumers seeking quick meal solutions. Growth potential is supported by product innovation and expanding retail presence. The partnership ecosystem includes social media platforms and survey tools for customer feedback. Strategic observations suggest enhancing digital security and compliance to strengthen market trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS usage but lacks visible security headers and explicit cookie consent mechanisms. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. There is no published security policy or incident response contact information, which limits transparency. GDPR compliance is partially addressed via privacy policy linkage. The absence of WHOIS data is a notable concern that could impact trust. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a retail website but requires improvements in header implementation, consent management, and incident response readiness to meet higher compliance standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Add a visible and functional cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and ePrivacy Directive requirements.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ emails.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure transparency and legitimacy.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct regular security audits to maintain compliance and protect user data.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a mature open-source content management system, using jQuery and Slick Slider for interactive elements. The site is responsive and optimized for mobile devices with good navigation clarity. Performance is moderate with lazy loading images and autoplay sliders. No advanced analytics or tracking scripts were detected, indicating minimal user tracking. The absence of explicit security headers and cookie consent mechanisms indicates technical debt in security and privacy compliance. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a stable user experience but requires modernization in security and privacy implementations.
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.
