Hudson Hotel & Events Centre is a well-established hospitality venue located in Seven Hills, Australia, offering casual dining, live sports, and event hosting services. The business is positioned as a premier local pub and function venue with a focus on family-friendly and corporate events, supported by the parent company Momento Hospitality. The website demonstrates a good level of digital maturity, leveraging WordPress CMS with modern plugins and integrations such as Gravity Forms and SevenRooms for bookings.

Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced, but lacks explicit security headers and formal security policies on the site.

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

8 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

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 business operates in the hospitality sector, targeting local residents, families, and event organizers. Its competitive advantage lies in its versatile venue capabilities, including casual dining, live sports, takeaway, and large-scale event hosting. Revenue streams likely include food and beverage sales, event bookings, and takeaway services. The partnership with Momento Hospitality and integration with SevenRooms booking platform indicate a mature operational ecosystem. Social media presence on Facebook and Instagram supports community engagement and marketing efforts. The absence of privacy and cookie policies suggests an area for regulatory improvement. The business model is focused on local hospitality with a medium-sized venue capacity and a strong community orientation.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications. However, no explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, or X-Frame-Options were detected, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. The use of WordPress and popular plugins like Gravity Forms is standard but requires regular updates to mitigate vulnerabilities. No exposed sensitive data or obvious vulnerabilities were found in the HTML content. The lack of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file indicates limited transparency in security incident handling. Privacy compliance is insufficient, with no visible GDPR or cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved with better header configurations and formal policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Add security headers such as CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance web security.
  3. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  4. Regularly audit and update all third-party plugins and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance by integrating a cookie consent mechanism and clearly communicating data collection practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.1 with a modern tech stack including Gravity Forms for data collection, Yoast SEO for search optimization, and various JavaScript libraries for UI enhancements (jQuery, Owl Carousel, Video.js). The site uses Foundation CSS framework for responsive design and is mobile optimized with good navigation clarity. Performance is moderate, with multiple external resources loaded including fonts, analytics, and tracking scripts. Hosting provider details are not explicit. The site lacks some accessibility features but maintains basic compliance. SEO is supported by meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Technical risks include missing security headers and incomplete privacy compliance, which could impact user trust and regulatory adherence.
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.
