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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

FPA Australia operates primarily as a membership-based association, generating revenue through training programs, accreditation schemes, and membership fees. Their partnerships with related industry bodies and event platforms such as Fire Australia and National Bushfire Conference enhance their ecosystem and market reach. The organization targets professionals involved in fire protection inspection, testing, design, and bushfire protection, positioning itself as an essential resource and advocate for industry standards and professional development.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a good SSL configuration and integrates modern telemetry and analytics tools such as Microsoft Application Insights, Clarity, and Google Analytics. While basic security best practices are observed, including cookie consent mechanisms and no visible sensitive data exposure, the site lacks explicit security headers and published security policies or incident response information. There is no evidence of vulnerability disclosure programs or security.txt files, indicating room for improvement in transparency and security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to enhance domain security and prevent DNS spoofing.
  2. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on ASP.NET Web Forms with Telerik UI controls and uses the iMIS CMS platform, indicating a mature but somewhat legacy technology stack. It integrates multiple analytics and tracking tools for user behavior insights and performance monitoring. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and accessibility features, with a moderate performance profile. Opportunities exist to modernize the tech stack and improve SEO and security configurations to align with current best practices.
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.
