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

Boardroom Pty Limited is a leading Australian corporate services provider specializing in registry, employee plans, corporate secretarial, and payroll services. The company positions itself as a market leader serving listed and unlisted companies, investors, and employees with a comprehensive suite of corporate solutions. Their website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, targeting corporate clients primarily within Australia. The business model focuses on providing essential corporate governance and administrative services, supported by partnerships with related service platforms such as InvestorServe and EmployeeServe. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Divi theme framework, integrating multiple marketing and analytics tools including Google Analytics, Hotjar, Pardot, and Google Tag Manager. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and SEO practices, although accessibility features are basic. Hosting and DNS are managed through Melbourne IT and NS1 respectively, indicating a stable infrastructure. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and implements client-side validation on forms, but lacks explicit security headers and published security policies. There is no visible privacy or cookie policy, which presents compliance risks especially under GDPR. The WHOIS data aligns well with the business claims, showing a consistent and legitimate domain registration without privacy protection, appropriate for the business type. Overall, the website is professional and credible with moderate technical and security maturity. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance, security header implementation, and incident response transparency would enhance trust and reduce risk.

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

4 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  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

Boardroom Pty Limited holds a strong market position in the Australian corporate services sector, leveraging a broad portfolio of services including share registry management, corporate secretarial, and payroll. Their business model is service-oriented, targeting corporate clients requiring compliance and administrative support. The company benefits from a network of partner platforms that extend their service delivery. The website content and structure indicate a focus on corporate clients and investors, with clear service offerings and professional branding. Growth indicators include multi-regional presence links and integration with marketing automation tools. The partnership ecosystem is robust, involving specialized service portals for investors, employees, clients, and advisers, enhancing their market reach and operational efficiency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS enabled and client-side form validation. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published, limiting transparency and preparedness. The use of multiple third-party scripts introduces potential risk vectors that require regular auditing. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies, which could expose the company to regulatory scrutiny. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be significantly improved with better header implementation, policy publication, and compliance mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to ensure GDPR and privacy law compliance.
  2. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance web security.
  3. Establish and publish an incident response policy and provide clear security contact channels (e.g., security@ or abuse@ emails).
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct periodic security assessments to maintain a strong security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a mature WordPress CMS platform using the Divi theme, supported by a variety of plugins for video lightbox, social sharing, and structured data. The tech stack includes jQuery and modern analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics, Hotjar, Pardot, and Google Tag Manager. Hosting is managed by Melbourne IT with DNS services from NS1, indicating reliable infrastructure. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. However, accessibility is basic and could be improved. The site uses client-side validation for forms but lacks advanced security headers and privacy compliance features. Technical debt appears low but modernization opportunities exist 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.
