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

All States Towing is a well-established small business providing comprehensive towing and transport services in Canberra, Queanbeyan, and surrounding regions for over twenty years. Their service portfolio includes emergency towing, heavy machinery haulage, interstate vehicle transport, and scrap car removals. The company holds a strong local market position as the preferred NRMA roadside assistance provider in Canberra, supported by positive customer testimonials and clear contact channels. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with good content relevance and user experience. Technically, the website is built using Adobe Muse with standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, supplemented by Google Analytics and Adobe Typekit fonts. Hosting is managed through Synergy Wholesale, with domain registration consistent with the business identity. The site is mobile-optimized and performs moderately well, though there is room for improvement in accessibility and SEO. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with a good SSL configuration but lacks advanced security headers such as Content Security Policy. There is no cookie consent mechanism or detailed privacy compliance features, which may pose compliance risks under GDPR. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be enhanced with additional best practices. The overall risk assessment indicates a trustworthy and professional business with minor compliance and security gaps. Strategic recommendations include implementing cookie consent, enhancing security headers, publishing security policies, and enabling DNSSEC to strengthen domain security and regulatory compliance.

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 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

All States Towing operates in the transportation sector, focusing on towing and vehicle transport services primarily in the Canberra and Queanbeyan regions. Their business model is service-oriented, targeting individual vehicle owners and businesses requiring emergency and scheduled towing services. The company leverages its long-standing market presence and partnership with NRMA to maintain competitive advantage. Revenue streams likely derive from towing fees, haulage contracts, and scrap vehicle removals. The website indicates a focus on customer service and local market penetration, with no evidence of subsidiaries or parent companies. The partnership with Simple Websites Direct for web development suggests a reliance on external digital service providers. Growth indicators include a diverse service offering and positive customer feedback.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and no sensitive data is exposed in the HTML content. However, the absence of advanced security headers such as CSP and lack of a cookie consent mechanism highlight compliance and security gaps. No published incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies reduce transparency and preparedness for security events. The use of outdated jQuery version 1.8.3 may pose potential vulnerabilities if not patched. Overall, the security posture is functional but requires enhancements to meet modern standards and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a cookie policy and consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations.
  2. Add Content Security Policy (CSP) and other security headers to mitigate cross-site scripting and related attacks.
  3. Publish a security policy and vulnerability disclosure page to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  4. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to enhance DNS security.
  5. Update JavaScript libraries and dependencies regularly to reduce vulnerability exposure.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Adobe Muse, a static site generation tool, with a tech stack including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, jQuery 1.8.3, Google Analytics, and Adobe Typekit fonts. Hosting is provided via Synergy Wholesale with domain name servers at syd5.hostingplatform.net.au. The site is mobile responsive and has a moderate performance profile. SEO is basic with meta tags and keywords present but could be improved. Accessibility features are minimal but functional. The site lacks modern frameworks or CMS platforms, which may limit scalability and ease of content management. Technical debt is indicated by the use of older JavaScript libraries and absence of advanced security configurations.
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.
