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 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"

  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

Haier Australia positions itself as a key player in the retail home appliance sector within Australia, offering a broad range of products including cooking, cooling, laundry, and refrigeration appliances. The business model focuses on direct-to-consumer sales through an e-commerce platform supported by Salesforce technologies. The company benefits from the global Haier Group brand recognition and maintains regional partnerships, as evidenced by related domains such as the New Zealand site and dedicated login services. The website's integration with marketing and analytics tools reflects a mature digital marketing strategy aimed at customer engagement and retention. However, the lack of visible contact information and privacy documentation may impact customer trust and regulatory compliance. The company appears to target household consumers and possibly small businesses requiring home appliances, with a focus on quality and service.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications and a baseline of security. The use of reCAPTCHA indicates proactive measures against automated abuse. Integration with OneTrust suggests some level of cookie consent management, although explicit cookie and privacy policies were not found in the analyzed content. The absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces the overall security hardening. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided HTML snippet. The WHOIS data is not publicly accessible, which is common but limits external verification of domain legitimacy. The site would benefit from publishing clear security policies, incident response contacts, and implementing additional HTTP security headers to enhance protection against common web threats.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publicly link comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Add essential security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen security posture.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to facilitate vulnerability reporting and transparency.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet modern standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Salesforce Commerce Cloud, a robust e-commerce platform, and utilizes modern marketing and analytics technologies such as Google Tag Manager and CQuotient. The site loads asynchronously loaded scripts for tracking and consent management, indicating a modular and scalable architecture. Mobile optimization appears good, with responsive design elements and appropriate meta viewport settings. However, the site lacks explicit SEO meta descriptions and keywords, which could be improved for better search engine visibility. Performance is moderate, with multiple external scripts that may impact load times. Accessibility is basic, with no clear ARIA roles or landmarks detected in the provided HTML snippet. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from enhancements in SEO, accessibility, and security header configurations.
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.
