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

The Lakemba Club is a community-focused club located in Lakemba, New South Wales, Australia. It serves as a hub for local residents offering sports, social sub-clubs, dining options including a bistro and cafe, and various community events. The club targets families, sports enthusiasts, and local community members, positioning itself as a welcoming venue for social and recreational activities. The website reflects this community orientation with clear navigation, event listings, and membership services. Technically, the site is built on WordPress using popular plugins such as Gravity Forms for contact and event forms, Yoast SEO for search optimization, and integrates Google Analytics and reCAPTCHA for analytics and security. Hosting is provided via Telstra nameservers, indicating a reputable Australian hosting environment. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and use of reCAPTCHA, but lacks some security headers and a cookie consent mechanism, which are recommended for compliance and enhanced security. The WHOIS data aligns well with the website's identity, showing consistent domain registration without privacy protection, appropriate for a community club. Overall, the site is professional, secure, and serves its business purpose effectively, though improvements in privacy compliance and security headers would strengthen its posture.

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

7 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 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

    • 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

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 Lakemba Club operates in the hospitality and community club sector, focusing on local engagement through sports, dining, and social events. Its business model revolves around membership services, event hosting, and hospitality offerings. The club leverages partnerships with related venues such as Canterbury League Club, C-Life Health Club, and Moxon Sports Club, enhancing its community reach. The website's content and structure indicate a medium-sized organization with a stable local market position. Revenue streams likely include membership fees, food and beverage sales, event bookings, and sponsorships. The club maintains an active social media presence to engage members and promote events. Growth indicators include regular event updates and integration of online membership renewal and contact forms. The partnership ecosystem is evident through linked domains and cross-promotion. Strategic observations suggest the club benefits from a strong local brand and community trust but could enhance digital maturity by improving privacy compliance and security transparency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, and Google reCAPTCHA is used on forms to mitigate spam and automated abuse. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, and no dedicated security contact channels are provided. The WHOIS data shows no privacy protection, which is consistent with the business type and adds transparency. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Compliance with GDPR or similar regulations is limited, with no cookie consent mechanism found despite the use of tracking and analytics. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a community club website but would benefit from enhanced headers, privacy controls, and published security policies to improve trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to comply with privacy regulations and improve user transparency.
  3. Publish explicit security and incident response policies on the website, including dedicated contact channels for security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities and maintain platform security.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct periodic security assessments to maintain a robust security culture and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the WordPress CMS platform, utilizing popular plugins such as Gravity Forms for form management and Yoast SEO for search engine optimization. The front-end uses jQuery and Slick Slider for interactive elements and responsive design. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are integrated for visitor tracking and marketing analytics. Hosting is managed through Telstra nameservers, indicating a stable Australian hosting environment. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. The site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, but lacks advanced security headers. The technical implementation is solid for a community club website but could be modernized with enhanced security practices and improved privacy compliance mechanisms.
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.
