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

Cripps is a well-established bakery business based in Tasmania, Australia, with a history dating back to 1878. The company specializes in manufacturing and retailing a variety of bakery products including wraps, crumpets, and daily bread, targeting the Tasmanian community. The website reflects a medium-sized local business with a strong community and sustainability focus, supported by a consistent brand presence and good content quality. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality and WPBakery Page Builder for content management. It integrates common marketing and analytics tools such as Google Analytics and Mailchimp, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. The site is mobile-optimized and has good SEO practices, though accessibility features are basic. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data. However, it lacks explicit security headers and formal privacy or cookie policies, which are areas for improvement. The WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable due to .au domain privacy policies, limiting full verification of domain legitimacy, but the website content and business information appear consistent and trustworthy. Overall, Cripps presents a professional and credible online presence with room for enhancements in privacy compliance and security hardening to further strengthen trust and regulatory adherence.

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

8 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

Cripps operates in the retail and manufacturing sectors, focusing on bakery products for the Tasmanian market. Its long history and local focus provide competitive advantages in brand recognition and community engagement. The business model combines product manufacturing with direct retail and community involvement, supported by sustainability initiatives. The website indicates active marketing efforts through social media and email newsletters, suggesting ongoing customer engagement and growth potential. No parent or subsidiary companies are identified, indicating an independent operation. The company leverages common digital marketing and analytics tools but could benefit from enhanced privacy and security disclosures to align with evolving compliance standards.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enforced and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces its defense-in-depth. There is no evidence of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure program, which are important for mature security management. The use of popular WordPress plugins necessitates regular updates to mitigate vulnerabilities. Privacy compliance is minimal, lacking explicit cookie or privacy policies, which could pose regulatory risks. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for a medium-sized business but requires enhancements to meet best practices and compliance requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies clearly accessible on the website.
  2. Add and configure security headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to improve security posture.
  3. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact information.
  4. Regularly audit and update WordPress core and plugins to mitigate security vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform with WooCommerce for e-commerce capabilities and WPBakery Page Builder for content management. It integrates multiple third-party plugins for analytics (Google Analytics via ExactMetrics and MonsterInsights), social media widgets, and marketing tools like Mailchimp and Popup Builder. The site is mobile responsive and uses standard web fonts and CSS for styling. Performance is moderate, with some optimization opportunities. The lack of detected security headers and limited privacy disclosures indicate technical debt in security and compliance areas. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but would benefit from modernization in security and privacy implementations.
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.
