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

Jackson Subaru is an authorised Subaru dealership located in Devonport, Tasmania, Australia, offering vehicle sales, servicing, finance, and parts. The website targets local customers seeking Subaru vehicles and related services. The business operates in the transportation sector with a medium-sized footprint and maintains a consistent brand presence online. Technically, the website is built using modern frameworks such as Gatsby and React, with integration of Mapbox for mapping and Google Tag Manager for analytics. The site demonstrates good performance and mobile optimization, though accessibility features could be enhanced. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers present, alongside privacy-conscious analytics configuration. However, the absence of explicit privacy and cookie policies and lack of incident response contacts are areas for improvement. Overall, the domain appears legitimate and consistent with the business profile, though WHOIS data is limited due to Australian domain privacy policies.

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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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 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';…

  3. 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

  4. 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Jackson Subaru holds a solid market position as an authorised Subaru dealer in Tasmania, focusing on vehicle sales, servicing, finance, and parts. The business model revolves around direct customer engagement through physical locations and digital presence. The website supports this with clear contact information and structured data for SEO. The company leverages Google Analytics for user insights and employs modern web technologies to deliver a responsive user experience. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries from the domain data. The business targets local consumers and Subaru enthusiasts, with growth potential tied to regional automotive demand. Strategic observations include the need for enhanced privacy compliance and security transparency to strengthen customer trust.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and a comprehensive set of security headers, including HSTS and Content Security Policy. Google Analytics is configured with IP anonymization, reflecting privacy awareness. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. However, the lack of a published security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates room for improvement in security governance and transparency. The site does not appear to be protected by a WAF or present blocking challenges, which facilitates accessibility but also requires vigilant monitoring. Overall, the security posture is good but could be elevated by formalizing policies and response procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve privacy compliance.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to enhance transparency and trust.
  3. Add incident response contact information, such as a dedicated security email address.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve user experience.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Gatsby, a modern React-based static site generator, ensuring good performance and SEO capabilities. It uses Mapbox GL JS for interactive maps and Google Tag Manager for analytics management. Fonts are loaded from AWS S3 buckets, indicating use of cloud hosting or CDN services. The site is mobile-optimized and employs responsive design principles. However, no explicit hosting provider or CMS platform is identified beyond the use of a custom or headless CMS (imotor). Performance is moderate with room for optimization in accessibility and privacy compliance. The technical stack is modern and well-implemented, supporting a professional online presence.
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.
