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

Next Payments Pty Ltd is an Australian technology and payments solutions provider specializing in cash management, EFTPOS terminals, and loyalty programs such as the GSL Loyalty Card. The company targets hospitality, gaming, retail, and financial institutions, offering integrated prepaid eftpos and loyalty solutions to enhance member engagement and operational efficiency. Their market position is supported by a range of case studies and testimonials demonstrating successful deployments. Technically, the website is built on the Webflow platform, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries like Splide.js for UI components, and integrates analytics tools such as Google Analytics and Hotjar for user behavior insights. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices, fast loading, and accessible, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, uses Google reCAPTCHA on forms, and maintains privacy and security policy pages. However, it lacks some security headers and a cookie consent mechanism, which are recommended for enhanced compliance and protection. WHOIS data is unavailable due to privacy protection, but the website's professional content and contact channels indicate legitimacy. Overall, the website presents a trustworthy and professional front for Next Payments, with strong business credibility and technical maturity. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance and security headers would further strengthen their posture.

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

4 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.

    • 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

  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.

    • 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

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 14 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
      • NIST SC-17: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-17: Public Key Infrastructure Certificates

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.

Business context

Business profile

Next Payments operates in the payments technology sector with a focus on hospitality and retail industries. Their business model combines hardware sales (EFTPOS terminals, cash management devices) with software and loyalty program services, generating revenue through product sales, service subscriptions, and retail partnerships. The GSL Loyalty Card program exemplifies their integrated approach, offering venues enhanced member engagement and promotional ROI. The company maintains a strong partnership ecosystem and showcases multiple case studies, indicating active market presence and customer trust. Growth indicators include co-investment in marketing and expansion of retail partnerships. The company emphasizes customer support and local presence, enhancing competitive advantage.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforcement and use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms from automated abuse. Privacy and data security policies are publicly available, reflecting awareness of compliance requirements. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents a gap that could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. The lack of a cookie consent banner may affect GDPR compliance. Incident response mechanisms exist but lack explicit security contact emails. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is solid but can be improved with additional headers and enhanced privacy controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations, improving user transparency and consent management.
  3. Publish a security.txt file and provide dedicated security contact emails to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and incident response.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerable versions are in use and maintain up-to-date dependencies.
  5. Enhance privacy policy details with explicit data retention and user rights information to strengthen compliance and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Webflow CMS, which provides a modern and responsive framework. It uses JavaScript libraries such as Splide.js for sliders and Google services for analytics and tag management. Hosting is via AWS Cloudfront CDN, ensuring fast global content delivery. The site is mobile-optimized with good accessibility features and SEO meta tags. Performance is fast with no broken elements detected. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, though there is room for improvement in security header implementation and privacy consent mechanisms to align with 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.
