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

NZ Tag Football Inc is a New Zealand-based non-profit organization dedicated to promoting and organizing Tag Football, an inclusive and safe minimal contact sport for all ages and skill levels. The website serves as a hub for event information, resources, and community engagement, targeting players, volunteers, coaches, and officials. The organization holds a solid market position as the national governing body for Tag Football in New Zealand with international affiliations. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Salient theme and optimized with WP Rocket, providing a good user experience with moderate performance and mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer protections in place, but lacks advanced security headers and DNSSEC. Privacy compliance is weak due to the absence of privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and safe for general audiences.

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

10 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

The organization operates primarily in the sports and community sector, focusing on event management, volunteer coordination, and sport promotion. Its business model is non-profit, relying on partnerships with local councils, sports bodies, and sponsors. The website reflects a small-sized entity founded in 2019, with a clear target audience of sports participants and community members in New Zealand. The partnership ecosystem is robust, featuring multiple local and national organizations. The site content and structure support growth and engagement but lack monetization or e-commerce features beyond a tag shop link. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to enhance digital maturity by adding privacy compliance and security policies.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is properly configured, and domain registration includes transfer and update prohibitions, reducing risk of hijacking. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and no security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options are present, which could expose the site to certain web attacks. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is published, indicating limited preparedness for security incidents. The absence of privacy and cookie policies also suggests compliance gaps with GDPR and similar regulations. Overall, the security posture is functional but could be significantly improved with standard best practices and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Establish and publish incident response procedures and contact channels for security issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a mature CMS platform (WordPress) with a popular commercial theme (Salient) and uses performance optimization plugins like WP Rocket. The tech stack includes jQuery and standard web fonts from Google Fonts. The site is mobile responsive and has good navigation clarity. However, there is no evidence of advanced analytics or tracking tools, which may limit marketing insights. Performance is moderate, with some lazy loading and prefetching optimizations. Technical debt appears low, but the lack of security headers and DNSSEC indicates areas for modernization. Hosting and domain registration are stable and consistent with the organization's profile.
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.
