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. 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 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

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

Oceania Insurance leverages the backing of Auto & General, a major Australian insurer, to position itself as a modern, digital-first insurance provider. Its business model focuses on simplifying car insurance through digital channels, reducing traditional friction such as phone queues. The company targets Australian consumers who prefer online and chat-based interactions. The presence of multiple digital communication channels (Messenger, WhatsApp, Apple Messages) and an online policy manager indicates a strong digital customer engagement strategy. The company benefits from the reputation and scale of its parent, enhancing market trust. Advertising and marketing efforts include Google Ads and remarketing, supported by advanced analytics and A/B testing tools. The lack of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the site suggests a preference for digital-first customer service. The company is compliant with industry codes and provides clear legal and privacy documentation, supporting regulatory adherence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive data in the HTML content. Security headers are minimal but present (e.g., X-UA-Compatible), with room for improvement by adding CSP, X-Frame-Options, and other headers. No vulnerable or outdated libraries were detected. The site uses secure digital communication platforms and integrates with Genesys for messaging, which is a reputable service. However, the absence of a security.txt file or explicit vulnerability disclosure policy limits transparency in incident response. Cookie consent mechanisms are missing, which could be a compliance risk under GDPR. Overall, the site is secure but could enhance its security posture by implementing additional headers, explicit consent mechanisms, and publishing incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a comprehensive Content-Security-Policy header to mitigate XSS risks.
  2. Add security headers such as X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy.
  3. Deploy a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with GDPR and privacy regulations.
  4. Publish a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure policy to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  5. Provide explicit incident response contact information for security issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager, a robust enterprise CMS, indicating a solid technical foundation. It employs modern JavaScript libraries and integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools, including Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Clarity, Tealeaf, and GrowthBook for experimentation. The site is mobile optimized with responsive images and good accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with some lazy loading of images and asynchronous script loading. The site uses multiple external domains for analytics, advertising, and messaging services, all reputable. There is no indication of technical debt or outdated technology. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and privacy compliance mechanisms. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable digital insurance platform.
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.
