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

The New Zealand Maritime Museum, operated under Tātaki Auckland Unlimited, is a prominent cultural institution in Auckland, New Zealand, dedicated to maritime heritage. The museum offers a variety of services including harbour sailings on heritage vessels, exhibitions, educational programs, and an extensive online collection. It targets a broad audience including families, tourists, maritime enthusiasts, and educational groups. The museum holds a strong market position as a key maritime attraction in the region. Technically, the website is built using modern technologies such as React, integrated with multiple analytics and tracking tools including Google Analytics, Hotjar, and Microsoft Clarity. It employs a cookie consent mechanism powered by Securiti.ai and uses reCAPTCHA for form security. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, providing a good user experience. From a security perspective, the website enforces HTTPS and uses several security best practices, including secure forms and cookie consent. While explicit security headers were not fully confirmed, the overall SSL configuration is good, and no vulnerabilities were detected in the visible content. Privacy compliance is strong with clear privacy and cookie policies, and contact information is readily available. Overall, the website demonstrates a high level of professionalism, trustworthiness, and compliance with privacy regulations. The lack of publicly available WHOIS data is consistent with .nz domain privacy policies and does not detract from the legitimacy of the institution. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers and continuous monitoring of third-party scripts to maintain security 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

3 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

  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

The museum operates as a non-profit cultural entity under Auckland Council's Tātaki Auckland Unlimited. Its business model focuses on public engagement through exhibitions, sailings, and educational outreach, generating revenue primarily from ticket sales and donations. The institution benefits from strong partnerships within the Auckland Council ecosystem and maintains a reputable brand in the cultural and tourism sectors. Growth indicators include active event programming and digital engagement via online collections and social media. The museum's competitive advantage lies in its unique heritage vessels and comprehensive maritime collections.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of reCAPTCHA, and cookie consent management. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, explicit security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options were not confirmed and should be implemented to enhance protection against clickjacking and MIME sniffing attacks. There is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which could be improved to demonstrate readiness. Overall, the site aligns well with privacy regulations and best practices but could benefit from formalized security policies and incident response channels.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify comprehensive security headers including X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate risks from external dependencies.
  4. Provide clear incident response contact information to enhance trust and preparedness.
  5. Continue to monitor privacy compliance and update policies as regulations evolve.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern React-based frontend with integration of multiple analytics and user behavior tracking tools. It leverages Google Tag Manager for flexible tag management and Securiti.ai for cookie consent compliance. The site is well-structured with good SEO metadata and Open Graph tags for social sharing. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, particularly in image loading and script management. Accessibility features are present, supporting a broad user base. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or headless CMS solution. Hosting details are not disclosed but appear stable and secure.
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.
