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

Coregas is a well-established Australian-owned supplier of industrial, medical, and specialty gases operating primarily in Australia and New Zealand. Founded in 1974 and backed by the large conglomerate Nippon Sanso Holdings Corporation and Wesfarmers, Coregas holds a strong market position as a leading manufacturer and supplier in the energy and transportation sectors. Their business model includes direct sales, online ordering, and inventory management services tailored to industrial and healthcare customers. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with comprehensive content about their products and services. Technically, the website employs a modern technology stack including jQuery, Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and social sharing tools. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO and accessibility basics, though there is room for improvement in accessibility and security headers. Performance is moderate with no critical technical issues detected. The site uses HTTPS with a strong SSL configuration, but lacks some security best practices such as explicit security headers and incident response information. From a security perspective, the site shows good practices like HTTPS enforcement and no exposed sensitive data. However, it lacks visible security policies, incident response contacts, and cookie consent mechanisms which are important for compliance and user trust. No vulnerabilities or suspicious content were found. WHOIS data is unavailable due to privacy protection, but the domain and website content are consistent with a legitimate business. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be enhanced with additional transparency and compliance features. The overall risk assessment is low with a trustworthy and professional online presence. Strategic recommendations include implementing security headers, publishing security and incident response policies, adding cookie consent for GDPR compliance, and improving accessibility features to enhance user experience and compliance. These improvements will strengthen Coregas's digital maturity and trustworthiness in the competitive industrial gases market.

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. 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 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

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 15 days

      What to do: Renew SSL certificate before expiration

      • NIS2 21(2)(h)
      • IR 2024/2690 9.2(c): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 9.2(c): Cryptography

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

Coregas operates as a large enterprise in the energy sector, supplying industrial, medical, and specialty gases across Australia and New Zealand. Their competitive advantage lies in their extensive product range, long-standing market presence since 1974, and backing by Nippon Sanso Holdings Corporation and Wesfarmers. The business model combines manufacturing with direct sales and digital services such as online ordering and mobile inventory management apps. Revenue streams likely include gas sales, equipment sales, and supply management services. Target customers include industrial manufacturers, healthcare providers, laboratories, and mining companies. The company shows growth indicators through recent news about acquisitions and new product launches. The partnership ecosystem includes parent company Nippon Sanso and regional sites like Coregas New Zealand. The website content and structure reflect a mature, well-organized operation with clear customer focus and service offerings.

Security posture

Coregas demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and no visible exposure of sensitive data. The website uses modern analytics and tracking tools responsibly but lacks some security best practices such as HTTP security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, etc.) and explicit security or incident response policies. There is no public vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file, which could improve transparency and trust. Cookie consent mechanisms are absent, which may impact GDPR compliance. The absence of a published security policy and incident response contact reduces confidence in incident handling readiness. Overall, the security maturity is good but can be improved by adopting industry best practices and enhancing compliance transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page with clear contact channels to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  4. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Enhance website accessibility features to meet higher standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using a modern JavaScript stack with jQuery 3.1.0, Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and ShareThis for social sharing. It uses Isotope.js for UI filtering and layout. The site loads CSS asynchronously for performance and includes responsive design elements for mobile optimization. The HTML is valid and SEO optimized with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) describing the business and webpage. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected. There is no clear CMS identified, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Technical risks are low but could be mitigated further by improving security headers and accessibility compliance.
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.
