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.

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.

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.

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.

Business context
Business profile
Lantern Insurance benefits from its affiliation with IAG New Zealand Ltd, leveraging the parent company's financial strength and market presence. The business model focuses on providing insurance products through a digital brochureware platform with customer support facilitated via linked service domains. The company targets a broad customer base in New Zealand, including homeowners, vehicle owners, and small businesses. The website's integration with customer help portals and clear call-to-actions for quotes and claims indicate a customer-centric approach. The market position is strengthened by adherence to the Fair Insurance Code and a very strong financial rating, which are key trust factors in the insurance sector.
Security posture
The website employs HTTPS and uses deferred and asynchronous loading of scripts to optimize performance and security. However, no explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, which are recommended best practices. There is no visible security or incident response policy published, nor are there dedicated security contact channels. The site does not display cookie consent mechanisms, which may impact privacy compliance. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced with additional headers and privacy controls.
Recommendations
Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to improve privacy compliance.
Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and trust.
Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data issue to improve domain legitimacy and trustworthiness.
Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking services to ensure no vulnerabilities or privacy risks.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager CMS, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries and asynchronous script loading for performance. It integrates third-party services such as Vidyard for video embedding and Boomerang for real user monitoring analytics. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO practices including meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. Accessibility features are basic but present. The technical infrastructure is solid and supports a professional insurance service platform.
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.
