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

Jackson Motor Company is a well-established automotive dealership based in Tasmania, Australia, offering a wide range of new, used, and demo vehicles across multiple well-known brands including Ford, Hyundai, Kia, Volkswagen, Nissan, Suzuki, Isuzu UTE, Mitsubishi, Subaru, Audi, and CUPRA. The company operates multiple locations and provides comprehensive services such as vehicle finance, warranty, parts, and servicing, positioning itself as a full-service automotive provider in the regional market. The website reflects a professional and customer-focused approach with extensive vehicle search capabilities and strong customer review presence. Technically, the website is built on modern web technologies including React and Next.js, with integrations for analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Hotjar, and Google Tag Manager. The site is mobile-optimized and demonstrates good SEO and accessibility practices, although some accessibility features could be enhanced. Performance is moderate, with efficient use of image assets and caching. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, employs standard security headers, and avoids exposing sensitive data. However, there is no publicly available security policy or incident response information, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present. Privacy and cookie policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, indicating a mature approach to user privacy. Overall, the website and business present a low risk profile with strong legitimacy signals, though improvements in transparency around security policies and incident response would enhance trust. The lack of WHOIS data due to privacy protection is justified given the business type and does not detract from the overall credibility.

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

      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

Jackson Motor Company holds a strong market position as a regional automotive dealership with multiple brand franchises and locations in Tasmania. Its competitive advantage lies in its diverse brand portfolio, comprehensive service offerings, and strong customer satisfaction as evidenced by extensive positive reviews. The business model focuses on vehicle sales complemented by finance, warranty, parts, and servicing, targeting consumers seeking reliable automotive solutions. The company leverages partnerships with brand-specific websites to enhance customer reach and brand alignment. Growth indicators include a broad vehicle inventory and active digital presence. Strategic observations suggest continued investment in digital marketing and customer experience will sustain market leadership.

Security posture

The security maturity of the website is good, with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented. No exposed sensitive information or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The use of secure forms and disabling autocomplete on search inputs enhances data protection. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy, incident response contact information, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates room for improvement in transparency and preparedness. Compliance with GDPR is evident through privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from enhanced communication of security practices and incident handling procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Develop and publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance website accessibility features to improve compliance with standards such as WCAG.
  4. Provide clear incident response contact channels to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website utilizes a modern technology stack centered on React and Next.js, enabling server-side rendering and improved SEO. Integration with Algolia provides efficient search capabilities. Analytics and marketing tools including Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Hotjar, and Google Tag Manager are employed for user behavior tracking and marketing optimization. The site demonstrates good mobile responsiveness and SEO optimization with appropriate meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with optimized images and lazy loading. Technical risks are minimal but include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which require ongoing security monitoring. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or headless approach.
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.
