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

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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

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

Landcom operates as a key government agency in the real estate and land development sector within NSW, Australia. Its competitive advantage lies in its official status and comprehensive project portfolio, including active and completed developments. The business model is service-oriented, focusing on land supply and community development rather than direct sales. Target customers include home buyers, developers, and community stakeholders. The website's use of advanced analytics and marketing tools indicates a strategic approach to digital engagement and growth. Partnerships or subsidiaries are not explicitly identified, but the domain's .com.au status and government association enhance credibility. The organization's operations appear stable and well-established, though founding year and parent company details are not disclosed.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with enforced HTTPS and asynchronous loading of trusted analytics and marketing scripts. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. No public security policy or incident response contact information was found, which could hinder rapid response to security incidents. Compliance with privacy regulations is evident through comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, but more explicit GDPR and data retention disclosures would strengthen compliance. Overall, the security maturity is good but could benefit from enhanced transparency and technical hardening.

Recommendations

  1. Implement explicit security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Develop and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance privacy compliance disclosures with detailed GDPR adherence statements and data retention policies.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking technologies to minimize security and privacy risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Silverstripe CMS and leverages a modern technology stack including Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Microsoft Clarity, Crazy Egg, LinkedIn Insight Tag, Outbrain, and UserWay accessibility widget. The site uses popular front-end libraries such as Venobox, Font Awesome, Owl Carousel, and Swiper for UI components. Performance is moderate with asynchronous script loading and responsive design for mobile optimization. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Accessibility is supported via UserWay widget. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. The technical implementation is solid with opportunities to improve security headers and performance optimizations.
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.
