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

Argent Australia is a well-established supplier of premium bathroom, kitchen, laundry, commercial, and smart living products in Australia, operating since 1958. The company partners with leading European brands and serves a diverse clientele including retail, project, and builder markets. Their website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear navigation and comprehensive product offerings. Technically, the site is built on Drupal CMS with modern JavaScript libraries and tracking tools, providing a moderate performance and good mobile optimization.

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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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

  2. 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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';…

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

Argent Australia holds a strong market position as a medium-sized retail supplier with a legacy of over six decades. Their business model focuses on wholesale and retail distribution of luxury bathroom and kitchen products, targeting industry professionals and end consumers. The company leverages partnerships with premium European brands to differentiate its offerings. Multiple physical locations across major Australian cities support their national presence. The website's content and structure indicate a focus on quality, reliability, and customer support, with active social media engagement and marketing analytics integration. No evidence of parent or subsidiary companies was found, suggesting independent operation.

Security posture

The website maintains a good security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of security best practices, and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates room for improvement in transparency and readiness. The use of multiple third-party tracking and marketing scripts introduces potential privacy risks that should be managed carefully. Security headers appear to be partially implemented but could be enhanced with Content-Security-Policy and other modern headers. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be elevated with formal policies and disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance privacy compliance by expanding the privacy policy to explicitly address GDPR and other regulations.
  4. Add or improve security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options.
  5. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy and security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal CMS with a modern front-end stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, Slick Carousel, and Lightbox2. It integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics, HubSpot, Hotjar, Facebook Pixel, and Pinterest tracking. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and basic accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in load speed and script optimization. The technical infrastructure supports a professional user experience but could benefit from enhanced security headers and updated accessibility compliance. Hosting details are not explicitly available from the 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.
