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

North Harbour Club is a well-established non-profit business networking organization based in New Zealand, founded in 1995. The club focuses on providing networking opportunities, events, awards, and community support primarily for North Shore business people and the regional community. The website reflects a mature digital presence with good branding and structured data, supporting its role as a regional business club. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern plugins like Elementor and JetEngine, integrating Google Analytics and Tag Manager for marketing and analytics. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and reCAPTCHA, but lacks some security headers and explicit privacy policies. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but could improve privacy compliance and security best 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

7 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 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 North Harbour Club operates as a membership-based non-profit entity serving the North Shore business community. Its competitive advantage lies in its long-standing presence and strong local partnerships, including sponsorships from reputable organizations. Revenue streams likely include membership fees, event bookings, and sponsorships. The target customers are local businesses and professionals seeking networking and community engagement. The club's partnership ecosystem is visible through sponsor logos and external links, indicating a collaborative approach. Growth indicators include active event calendars and award programs. The website supports these operations with clear navigation and calls to action for membership and event booking.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and Google reCAPTCHA protecting forms. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could mitigate certain attack vectors. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. There is no published incident response or vulnerability disclosure policy, which limits transparency and readiness. GDPR compliance is not clearly addressed, and no cookie consent mechanism is present. The security culture appears basic, with room for improvement in formalizing policies and enhancing technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve security posture.
  3. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to enhance DNS security.
  4. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  5. Regularly audit and update all plugins and themes to mitigate risks from outdated software.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using Elementor and JetEngine for page building and dynamic content. It integrates FluentForm for form handling with Google reCAPTCHA v3 for spam protection. Analytics and marketing tools include Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager. The site is hosted under a New Zealand registrar, Voyager Internet Ltd, with no DNSSEC enabled. Performance is moderate with lazy loading images and responsive design for mobile devices. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph, Twitter cards, and JSON-LD structured data. Accessibility is basic but could be improved with more ARIA roles and semantic markup. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern but can 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.
