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

NSW Rugby TV operates as a specialized media streaming platform delivering rugby union content primarily focused on New South Wales, Australia. The platform offers live and on-demand video content covering various rugby competitions including junior, women's, regional, and academy levels. The business targets rugby enthusiasts and supporters within the region, leveraging a subscription-based model to monetize its services. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with Elementor as the page builder and uses Video.js for video playback, hosting media assets on AWS S3 and CloudFront, indicating a modern and scalable infrastructure. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled, but lacks important security headers and formal privacy or cookie policies, which are critical for compliance and user trust. No contact or incident response information is provided, limiting transparency. Overall, the site is functional and professionally designed but requires enhancements in privacy compliance and security best practices to improve trust and regulatory adherence.

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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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 company positions itself as a niche regional sports media provider focusing on rugby union in NSW. Its competitive advantage lies in exclusive coverage of local rugby competitions and a dedicated streaming platform. The subscription model suggests recurring revenue streams targeting rugby fans and community members. The use of AWS infrastructure supports scalability and content delivery efficiency. However, the absence of visible contact details and compliance documentation may hinder customer confidence and limit growth potential. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries in the provided data. The business appears small but focused, with opportunities to expand audience reach through enhanced digital marketing and compliance transparency.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication, which is a fundamental security requirement. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others exposes the site to potential risks like clickjacking and content injection. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response contacts are available, reducing preparedness for security incidents. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and similar regulations. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected, which reduces privacy risks but also limits user behavior insights. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but requires improvements in headers, policies, and incident response readiness to align with best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance and user consent mechanisms.
  2. Add essential security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Strict-Transport-Security) to enhance protection.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Provide clear contact information including support and incident response channels to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and update technical infrastructure to address potential vulnerabilities and maintain compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a widely used CMS (WordPress) with Elementor for page building, indicating ease of content management and customization. Video.js is used for video playback, integrated with AWS S3 and CloudFront for media hosting and delivery, which supports scalability and performance. The site is mobile responsive and uses modern web fonts and CSS variables for styling. However, no advanced analytics or marketing tools are detected, suggesting limited data-driven marketing. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by video content delivery. Accessibility features are basic, with room for improvement in semantic markup and ARIA roles. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and SEO optimizations.
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.
