Risk levelLow

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

Zizzi is a well-established Italian restaurant group operating in the UK and Ireland, offering Italian dining experiences in uniquely designed restaurants. The website reflects a mature digital presence with strong SEO and marketing integrations, including Google Analytics, Tag Manager, and social media connectivity. The technical infrastructure is modern, leveraging WordPress with Yoast SEO and custom Propeller CMS assets, hosted likely on AWS, ensuring good performance and mobile optimization. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and appropriate security headers, though explicit security policies and incident response information are not publicly available. Privacy compliance is robust with clear privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms. The WHOIS data is incomplete due to domain naming rules issues, which slightly impacts trust analysis but does not detract from the professional presentation and business credibility. Overall, the website is secure, professional, and trustworthy, serving a general audience with safe content.

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

3 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 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

Zizzi holds a strong market position as a large hospitality business specializing in Italian cuisine across the UK and Ireland. Its business model focuses on restaurant dining, takeaway, and delivery services. The company targets general consumers seeking Italian food experiences. The website's integration with marketing and analytics tools indicates a focus on customer engagement and data-driven growth. The presence of comprehensive privacy and cookie policies aligns with regulatory compliance and customer trust. The lack of visible security certifications or incident response details suggests areas for improvement in transparency. The company appears to maintain partnerships for search experience and marketing but does not publicly disclose subsidiaries or parent company information.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers present, indicating adherence to best practices. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Consent management for cookies is implemented, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency and preparedness visibility. The incomplete WHOIS data introduces some uncertainty in domain legitimacy assessment but does not indicate immediate risk. Recommendations include publishing security policies, establishing a vulnerability disclosure channel, and enhancing transparency around data protection roles.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a detailed security policy and incident response plan accessible from the website footer or legal section.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Provide contact details for a Data Protection Officer or security contact to improve compliance and trust.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance security headers with Subresource Integrity (SRI) for externally loaded scripts and styles.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including WordPress with Yoast SEO, custom Propeller CMS assets, and integrates Google Fonts and multiple Google marketing and analytics services. Hosting appears to be on AWS infrastructure, supporting scalability and performance. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and accessibility features. SEO is well implemented with meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate with preloading of key assets. Technical debt is minimal, but opportunities exist to improve security transparency and incident readiness. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional and user-friendly experience.
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.
