Security score

65/100

Risk levelMedium

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

The website www.capterra.com.au is currently inaccessible beyond a Cloudflare Turnstile security challenge page, which prevents access to actual site content. Due to this, no business-specific information, contact details, or policies are available for analysis. The domain is registered under Identity Digital Australia Pty Ltd on behalf of auDA, consistent with Australian domain registration practices, but lacks detailed WHOIS registrant data. The technical infrastructure includes Cloudflare protection, indicating a focus on security, but the inability to access content limits assessment of digital maturity and business operations. Security posture cannot be fully evaluated; however, the presence of a WAF challenge suggests some level of protection. Overall, the site’s risk assessment is limited by access restrictions, and strategic recommendations focus on enabling legitimate access for analysis and improving transparency.

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 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';…

  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

Due to the Cloudflare WAF challenge blocking content, no direct business intelligence can be derived from the site. The domain is Australian and likely related to Capterra’s business, which is known for software reviews and marketplace services, but this cannot be confirmed from the provided data. No partner or subsidiary domains were identified. The lack of visible business information, policies, or contact details limits insights into market positioning, revenue streams, or customer segments.

Security posture

The security posture is partially observable through the use of Cloudflare’s Turnstile captcha, indicating an active WAF and bot mitigation strategy. However, no security headers or SSL configuration details are available for review. The absence of visible privacy or cookie policies and contact information for incident response reduces compliance confidence. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected, but the inability to access the site content prevents a thorough security assessment.

Recommendations

  1. Enable access beyond the Cloudflare Turnstile challenge for legitimate users and security analysts to allow full site evaluation.
  2. Publish clear privacy and cookie policies to improve compliance and user trust.
  3. Provide visible contact information including security incident response contacts to enhance transparency and readiness.
  4. Implement and expose security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  5. Regularly review WHOIS data to ensure registrant information is accurate and complete to support legitimacy.

Technical notes

Notes

The site uses Cloudflare as a hosting and security provider, employing Turnstile captcha for bot mitigation. The HTML content is minimal and focused on the challenge page, with no visible CMS or frameworks detected. No analytics or marketing scripts were identified. The site appears to be well protected but lacks accessible content for performance, SEO, or accessibility evaluation. Technical debt or modernization opportunities cannot be assessed due to blocked 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.
