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

Next Athletics is a specialized junior athletics program targeting children aged 3 to 12 years, offering fun and engaging weekly sessions to develop essential athletics and life skills. The program is officially affiliated with Australian Athletics and supported by recognized partners, positioning it as a credible and focused provider in the junior sports education sector in Australia. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear navigation and relevant content tailored to its target audience. Technically, the site employs modern web technologies including Google Fonts, jQuery, Slick Carousel, and integrates tracking tools such as Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel. The hosting is managed via Netregistry, consistent with an Australian business. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive data, but lacks advanced security headers and DNSSEC, which are recommended for enhancement. Privacy compliance is currently weak due to the absence of privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms, which should be addressed to meet regulatory standards. Overall, the website is trustworthy and well-positioned but would benefit from improved privacy and security practices.

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

8 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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 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 business operates in the niche market of junior athletics education, leveraging official partnerships with national and international athletics organizations to build credibility and trust. Its business model centers on program registrations for children, supported by a network of regional programs across Australian states and territories. The company targets parents seeking structured, fun, and skill-building sports activities for young children. The presence of partner logos and social media channels indicates an active engagement strategy and community presence. The domain registration and hosting align with the Australian market focus, supporting legitimacy. Growth potential exists through expanding program locations and enhancing digital engagement. The lack of visible direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a controlled communication approach, possibly to manage inquiries via web forms.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data leaks. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces defense-in-depth. DNSSEC is not enabled, which could improve DNS security. The use of third-party tracking scripts introduces privacy considerations, especially without explicit cookie consent mechanisms. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, indicating limited transparency in security management. The WHOIS data shows consistent and transparent domain registration without privacy protection, supporting trustworthiness. Overall, the security posture is functional but could be significantly improved by implementing recommended headers, privacy policies, and incident response disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit user consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR and other privacy regulation compliance.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS integrity and security.
  4. Publish an incident response policy and vulnerability disclosure program to improve transparency and readiness for security events.
  5. Consider adding direct verified contact emails and phone numbers for improved user trust and support accessibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and standard technology stack with Google Fonts for typography, jQuery and Slick Carousel for UI components, and integrates Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel for user tracking and marketing analytics. The site is hosted on infrastructure associated with Netregistry, an Australian hosting provider, consistent with the business location. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of tracking scripts, and mobile optimization is good with responsive navigation menus. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data, enhancing search engine visibility. Accessibility is basic but could be improved with additional ARIA attributes and semantic HTML enhancements. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or static site build. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but has room for modernization and enhanced accessibility.
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.
