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

Nomads is a New Zealand-based non-profit golf club that organizes golf events and raises funds for charitable causes. The website reflects a well-established organization with a domain registered since 2002, indicating a stable presence in the golf community. The site targets golf players and supporters, offering event booking, member services, and branded clothing. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using modern plugins such as Elementor and Events Manager, with payment integration via Stripe and analytics through Google Analytics. The site is mobile-optimized and has good SEO practices but lacks explicit privacy and cookie policies, which are important for compliance. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but missing DNSSEC and security headers. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but could improve privacy compliance and security hardening.

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

9 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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

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

Nomads occupies a niche position as a non-profit golf club with an international affiliation. Its business model revolves around organizing golf events and fundraising for less fortunate groups. The club maintains partnerships with several sponsors, indicating a supportive ecosystem. Revenue streams likely include event fees and merchandise sales. The target market is golf enthusiasts in New Zealand, with a small organizational size. The website content and structure support community engagement and member services, reflecting a focused and consistent brand presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, and no sensitive data is exposed in the HTML. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. There is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which limits transparency and preparedness. The use of reputable plugins and regular updates is assumed but not explicitly confirmed. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing policies and consent mechanisms, posing potential regulatory risks.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit GDPR compliance and user consent mechanisms.
  4. Add incident response and vulnerability disclosure information to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Regularly audit and update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to minimize vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress infrastructure with Elementor for page building and several specialized plugins for events and membership management. It uses Stripe for payment processing and integrates Google Analytics for visitor tracking. The site is mobile responsive and has good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate with some optimization opportunities. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. The hosting and domain registration are stable and reputable. Overall, the technical setup supports the business needs but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and privacy compliance features.
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.
