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

7 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"

    • 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

The company positions itself as a trusted local tyre specialist serving Westgate and surrounding suburbs. Its business model focuses on retail and service of automotive tyres with a strong emphasis on customer service, as evidenced by positive testimonials. The partnership with Afterpay and Zip indicates flexible payment options, appealing to a broader customer base. The website's partnership with Growth Engine NZ for design suggests a professional approach to digital presence. The lack of WHOIS data reduces domain trust but does not detract from the apparent legitimacy of the business operations.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses some security best practices but lacks comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and HSTS. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site does not provide a security policy or incident response contact, which could be improved to enhance trust and compliance. The use of third-party scripts like Google Tag Manager and Facebook SDK is standard but requires monitoring for privacy compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a comprehensive privacy policy and display it prominently on the website.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner to comply with privacy laws such as GDPR.
  3. Enhance security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, Referrer-Policy, and enable HSTS.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data to improve domain legitimacy and trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Squarespace, leveraging its hosting and CMS capabilities. It uses modern web fonts via Typekit, Google Maps API for location display, and integrates marketing tools like Google Tag Manager and Facebook Customer Chat. The site is mobile optimized with good navigation clarity and SEO meta tags. Performance is moderate, typical for CMS-based sites with multiple external resources. Accessibility features are basic but present. There is room for improvement in security configurations and privacy compliance to meet modern standards.
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.
