Security score

63/100

Risk levelMedium

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

The website www.catch.com.au is currently inaccessible due to a CloudFront Web Application Firewall (WAF) blocking the request, resulting in a 403 error page. This prevents access to any meaningful website content, metadata, or business information. The WHOIS lookup also failed to provide any registrar, creation, expiry, or registrant details, further limiting the ability to verify the domain's legitimacy or business background. Technically, the site is hosted behind Amazon CloudFront, but no further infrastructure or technology stack details are available due to the block. Security posture cannot be assessed beyond the presence of a WAF blocking access, and no security headers or SSL configuration details are obtainable. Overall, the site scores very low on content quality, technical implementation, security posture, privacy compliance, and business credibility due to the lack of accessible data.

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 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

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 lack of accessible website content and WHOIS data, no reliable business intelligence can be derived. The domain appears to be registered under the .au ccTLD, but no registrar or registrant information is available. No contact details, privacy policies, or business descriptions are accessible. The site is likely an e-commerce or retail platform based on the domain name 'catch.com.au', but this cannot be confirmed. No partnerships, subsidiaries, or related domains are identifiable from the data provided.

Security posture

The security posture assessment is severely limited by the WAF blocking. The presence of a CloudFront WAF indicates some level of security control, but the lack of accessible security headers, SSL details, or incident response information prevents a full evaluation. No vulnerabilities or compliance gaps can be identified. The absence of privacy and cookie policies also suggests potential compliance issues. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are unknown.

Recommendations

  1. Work with hosting and security providers to resolve WAF configuration issues to allow legitimate traffic and enable website accessibility.
  2. Publish comprehensive WHOIS data or ensure domain registration details are publicly available to improve trust.
  3. Implement and expose standard security headers and ensure HTTPS is properly configured and enforced.
  4. Publish privacy, cookie, and security policies to demonstrate compliance with GDPR and other regulations.
  5. Provide clear contact and incident response information to improve transparency and security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted behind Amazon CloudFront, which is currently blocking access with a 403 error. No HTML content beyond the error page is available, so no information on CMS, frameworks, or scripts can be extracted. The lack of metadata and structured data indicates no SEO or accessibility optimizations are detectable. The site likely uses modern cloud infrastructure but suffers from configuration issues that prevent content delivery. Performance, mobile optimization, and accessibility cannot be assessed.
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.
