Security score

Risk levelMedium

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

Dutton Garage is a premium Australian-based retailer specializing in luxury, classic, exotic, and rare cars. Operating from Melbourne with a global network, they provide tailored services including sales, purchases, and restoration of collectible vehicles. Their market position is that of a high-end niche dealer with international reach. Technically, the website employs modern analytics tools such as Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Matomo, and uses CKEditor and Google reCAPTCHA for form security. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly but lacks some advanced security headers and cookie consent mechanisms. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, though improvements are recommended in security headers and privacy compliance. Overall, the domain registration aligns well with the business claims, indicating 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

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 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 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

      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

Dutton Garage targets affluent car collectors and enthusiasts seeking rare and exotic vehicles. Their business model revolves around retail and brokerage of high-value automobiles, supported by restoration services. The company leverages a global buying network to source vehicles, positioning itself as a premium player in the classic and exotic car market. The website reflects a professional brand image with consistent messaging and social media integration. Revenue streams likely include direct sales, commissions, and restoration services. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified. The company maintains a medium-sized operation with a focus on quality and exclusivity.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms from automated abuse. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available, which could be a gap for compliance and trust. Privacy compliance is partial; while privacy and terms policies exist, cookie consent mechanisms are missing, which may expose the company to GDPR compliance risks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced with additional headers and explicit policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and trust.
  4. Include explicit company contact emails and phone numbers on the website to improve business credibility and user trust.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure privacy compliance and minimize unnecessary data collection.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the 'udo' CMS platform and uses modern web technologies including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Matomo Analytics, CKEditor 4, and Google reCAPTCHA v2. The site loads asynchronously scripts for performance and uses Open Sans font from Google Fonts. The HTML structure is valid and SEO optimized with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design elements. However, no advanced accessibility features were detected beyond basic compliance. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in script loading and caching. The absence of security headers is a technical risk. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified from the HTML content.
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.
