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

Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki is New Zealand's largest art institution, offering a comprehensive collection of historic and contemporary art, including significant Māori and Pacific Island works. The gallery operates under the parent organization Tātaki Auckland Unlimited and serves a diverse audience including tourists, local communities, families, and researchers. The website reflects a mature digital presence with rich content, event information, and educational resources. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies such as React, Google Maps API, and multiple analytics and tracking tools, indicating a well-maintained infrastructure. Security posture is strong with HTTPS, security headers, and cookie consent mechanisms, though explicit security policies and incident response information are absent. The domain WHOIS data is missing, which slightly reduces trust but the professional content and government affiliation support legitimacy. Overall, the site is secure, privacy-conscious, and user-friendly, serving its cultural mission effectively.

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 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

  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 gallery holds a strong market position as a leading cultural institution in New Zealand, supported by government funding and community engagement. Its business model includes exhibitions, memberships, educational programs, events, and retail sales through an official shop. The target audience is broad, encompassing art lovers, families, students, and tourists. The organization leverages partnerships with Auckland Unlimited and maintains active social media channels. Growth indicators include ongoing major exhibitions and digital content expansion. The gallery's operations emphasize accessibility, education, and cultural preservation, positioning it as a key player in New Zealand's arts sector.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and a cookie consent framework aligned with privacy regulations. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of a publicly available security policy or incident response contact limits transparency. The use of multiple third-party analytics and tracking services necessitates ongoing monitoring for vulnerabilities. Compliance with GDPR and local privacy laws is supported by clear privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the security maturity is high but could be enhanced by publishing formal security and incident response documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Consider implementing and publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and analytics tools to mitigate risks.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet or exceed WCAG standards for inclusivity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React framework with integration of Google Maps API for location services and multiple analytics platforms including Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, and Hotjar for user behavior insights. The presence of Securiti.ai's cookie consent SDK indicates a proactive approach to privacy compliance. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is well implemented with comprehensive meta tags and Open Graph data. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or headless CMS solution. Hosting provider details are not explicit but likely managed by Auckland Unlimited or a trusted provider. Technical risks are minimal but should be managed through regular updates and security audits.
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.
