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

dlook.com.au is an established Australian online business directory and job quoting platform, founded in 2005 and operated by DLOOK PTY LTD. The website connects consumers with verified local service providers across Australia, offering a large network of over 2 million businesses. It features customer reviews, business listings, and a quoting system to facilitate service procurement. The platform targets Australian consumers and businesses seeking reliable local providers, positioning itself as the largest independent business network in the country. Technically, the site is built on modern frameworks such as Next.js and React, with performance optimizations including CDN usage and asynchronous script loading. Security measures include HTTPS enforcement and Google reCAPTCHA integration, contributing to a strong security posture. However, the site lacks a cookie consent mechanism and explicit security policy or incident response contacts, which are areas for improvement. Overall, the domain registration details align well with the business claims, supporting the site's legitimacy and trustworthiness.

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

6 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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';…

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

The business model revolves around providing a platform for local service providers to be discovered and for customers to request quotes, generating value through lead generation and advertising. The company leverages customer reviews and verification to build trust and differentiate itself in the competitive Australian market. Its partnerships with major social media platforms and use of Google Adsense for monetization indicate a mature marketing approach. The target audience includes both consumers and businesses across various service sectors, with a focus on local and verified providers. Growth indicators include a large business network and active user engagement through recent job quotes and reviews. The company maintains a consistent brand presence and professional content, enhancing credibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled site-wide, use of Google reCAPTCHA v3 to mitigate automated abuse, and inclusion of security headers inferred from origin-trial meta tags. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. The site should consider implementing these to enhance trust and compliance with emerging regulations such as GDPR and NIS2. Overall, the security measures in place are adequate for the business type but could be improved with formal policies and disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a cookie consent banner to comply with privacy regulations and improve user trust.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and incident response procedures.
  3. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Add explicit incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

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.
