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 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. 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.

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

    • High

      No DMARC record found

      DMARC provides email authentication and reporting

      What to do: Add DMARC record: "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@yourdomain.com"

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

Just Heavy Equipment holds a strong market position within the Australian heavy equipment sales and media industry, supported by over 35 years of business experience. Its business model combines an online classified marketplace with media content and advertising services, generating revenue through listings and promotional offerings. The company targets a specialized audience of industry professionals and enthusiasts, leveraging a network of related automotive and equipment marketplaces under the Just Auto Network umbrella. This ecosystem provides competitive advantages through cross-promotion and shared audience reach. Growth indicators include active content updates, event listings, and integration of advanced marketing tools. Partnerships with related domains and advertising networks further strengthen its market presence.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. The integration of reputable analytics and advertising services is managed with asynchronous loading to minimize performance impact. However, the absence of a publicly available security policy, vulnerability disclosure program, or incident response contact limits transparency and preparedness from a compliance perspective. There is no evidence of GDPR non-compliance, but explicit statements or certifications are not present. The site would benefit from publishing a security.txt file and enhancing accessibility compliance to align with best practices. Overall, the security risk is low but can be improved with formalized policies and disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance website accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Provide clear incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 8 CMS, leveraging a modern tech stack including Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Hotjar, New Relic, and Amazon Ads for analytics and advertising. The site uses asynchronous script loading and CDN resources to optimize performance. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design and viewport settings. SEO is supported by comprehensive meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. Hosting details are not explicit but likely involve Cloudflare and Just Auto Media infrastructure. Performance is moderate, with potential for further optimization. The technical setup supports a robust user experience but requires ongoing maintenance to manage third-party dependencies and security.
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.
