Security score

70/100

Risk levelMedium

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

Conetix Pty Ltd is an established Australian web hosting provider with over 20 years of experience, specializing in managed WordPress hosting, VPS, email hosting, and domain registration services. The company positions itself as a trusted local provider with a strong focus on customer service and performance, targeting Australian businesses and digital agencies. Their market position is supported by long-standing client relationships and a comprehensive service portfolio. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern plugins and frameworks such as Elementor and uses Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel for tracking. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly, though performance is moderate. Security posture is good with HTTPS and reCAPTCHA in use, but lacks explicit security headers and published security policies. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the domain registration data aligns well with the business claims, enhancing legitimacy.

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

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  2. 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

Conetix operates in the technology sector, focusing on web hosting and related IT services. Their business model revolves around providing hosting solutions tailored for WordPress, business websites, and VPS customers, supplemented by email and domain services. The company leverages its Australian ownership and local support as competitive advantages. Revenue streams likely include hosting subscriptions, licensing fees for Plesk and KernelCare, and email services. The presence of an affiliate program indicates active marketing partnerships. The company targets SMEs, digital agencies, government, and freelancers within Australia. Growth indicators include a broad service offering and a well-maintained website with client testimonials. The partnership ecosystem includes domain registrars and licensing providers.

Security posture

Conetix demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of reCAPTCHA to protect forms. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a gap. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are found. The website does not expose sensitive data or vulnerable libraries visibly. The security culture appears focused on customer support and network security, but transparency on security practices could be improved. Compliance with GDPR or similar regulations is not clearly indicated, which may be a concern for privacy-conscious clients.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements and implement a cookie consent mechanism.
  2. Add security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Create and publish an incident response policy and a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve transparency.
  4. Regularly audit and update all plugins and third-party scripts to mitigate risks from vulnerable components.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and provide more detailed contact options including verified company emails for support and security.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using Elementor for page building and several plugins including Superfly Menu, W3 Total Cache, and Gravity Forms. It uses modern web technologies such as jQuery and Bootstrap, and integrates Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing. The hosting appears to be provided by Conetix itself or via Synergy Wholesale. Performance is moderate with some caching enabled. The site is mobile responsive and SEO optimized with proper meta tags and structured data. However, accessibility is basic and could be improved. The technical stack is modern but requires ongoing maintenance to ensure security and performance.
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.
