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 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

  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

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 28 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.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The company holds a strong market position as a registrar for .au domains, supported by ISO certifications (27001, 22301, 9001) that enhance trust and compliance. Its business model focuses on domain registration and related services, targeting Australian businesses seeking verified domain names. The presence of partner sites such as auDA and registrar portals indicates a well-integrated ecosystem. Marketing efforts include Google Analytics and cookie consent for privacy compliance. The company benefits from a clear brand identity and professional content, positioning it well within the domain registration industry. No suspicious or privacy-protected WHOIS data suggests transparency and legitimacy. Growth potential is supported by the increasing demand for Australian domain names and digital presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled using modern TLS protocols and valid SPF and DMARC DNS records to protect email integrity. No critical vulnerabilities or SSL issues were detected. However, the absence of HSTS and OCSP stapling reduces the overall security hardening. Security headers are missing, and no public security policy or incident response contacts are provided, which could improve transparency and readiness. The cookie consent mechanism and privacy policy indicate compliance with privacy regulations. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by implementing additional HTTP security headers, enabling HSTS, and publishing a security.txt file.

Recommendations

  1. Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload to enforce HTTPS and prevent downgrade attacks.
  2. Implement OCSP stapling to improve SSL certificate revocation checking and reduce latency.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  4. Publish a security.txt file to provide a clear vulnerability disclosure channel and improve incident response transparency.
  5. Consider adding explicit security and incident response policies on the website to enhance trust and compliance posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Webflow CMS, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and GSAP for animations and interactivity. Hosting is provided via Amazon AWS DNS infrastructure, ensuring reliable performance. Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics are used for tracking and marketing analytics. The site loads moderately fast with 24 resources and a page size of approximately 50 KB. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design and accessible navigation. However, accessibility features are basic and could be improved. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The SSL certificate is valid but close to expiry (28 days), requiring renewal soon. No CMS vulnerabilities or outdated libraries were detected.
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.
