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

Hobart International Airport Pty Ltd operates the primary airport serving Hobart and the Tasmania region, providing flight information, transport, parking, and community engagement services. The website is professionally designed with clear navigation and relevant content targeting travelers and local community members. The technical infrastructure is based on WordPress with modern analytics and marketing tools integrated, including Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and Matomo.

Overall, the website is trustworthy and well-positioned in its market segment.

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. 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"

    • 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

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 airport holds a key position as the gateway to Tasmania, serving a medium-sized market with a focus on transportation and traveler services. The business model revolves around airport operations, parking services, and community involvement. Partnerships with parking booking platforms and newsletter services enhance customer engagement. The company maintains a consistent brand and professional online presence, supporting growth and community relations. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified, indicating a focused operational scope.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data exposure. However, it lacks published security policies, vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, and incident response contacts, which are important for compliance and trust. The absence of cookie consent may pose privacy compliance risks, especially under GDPR. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious activities were detected. Recommendations include implementing security headers, publishing security documentation, and enhancing privacy compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and trust.
  2. Implement a cookie consent banner to comply with privacy regulations and inform users about tracking.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Regularly review and update privacy compliance measures to align with GDPR and other regulations.

The website uses a modern WordPress CMS with a well-integrated tech stack including jQuery, Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, Matomo Analytics, and Stripe.js for payments. The site is mobile optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices implemented via Yoast SEO.

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.
