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

Paintrite NZ Limited is a small, family-operated painting service company specializing in residential and commercial painting in the Auckland and Coromandel regions of New Zealand. With over 25 years of experience, the company offers a broad range of services including interior and exterior painting, roof painting, plastering, and restoration. The website positions the company as a trusted local provider with certifications such as Dulux Accredited Painter and Ebix Trades Monitor approval, enhancing its credibility in the market. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Oxygen Builder framework, leveraging modern web technologies such as jQuery and Google Fonts. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices and moderate performance. Hosting and domain registration are handled by reputable providers, with Cloudflare DNS in use, though DNSSEC is not enabled. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with a good SSL configuration but lacks visible security headers and formal privacy or cookie policies, indicating areas for compliance and security improvement. No forms are present on the homepage, reducing immediate data collection risks, but the absence of privacy and cookie policies may expose the company to regulatory scrutiny. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy with a solid business presence but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security hardening to align with best practices and regulatory requirements.

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. 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 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 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

    • 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

Paintrite NZ Limited operates in the real estate services sector, focusing on painting and restoration services for residential and commercial clients. The company leverages its local market knowledge and long-standing experience to maintain a competitive advantage. Its business model is service-oriented, relying on direct customer engagement through phone and email contacts. The presence of certifications and customer testimonials supports its market positioning as a reliable and quality-focused provider. The company appears to have a focused partnership ecosystem, including local service directories and technology providers. Growth indicators include a well-maintained website and active social media presence on Facebook, though expansion into other digital marketing channels could enhance reach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive data detected. However, the lack of DNSSEC, missing security headers, and absence of formal security policies or incident response contacts highlight gaps in security posture. There is no evidence of vulnerability disclosures or security.txt files, which could improve transparency and trust. The site does not appear to use analytics or tracking scripts, reducing privacy risks but also limiting insights into user behavior. Overall, while no critical vulnerabilities are apparent, the site would benefit from implementing security best practices and compliance documentation to strengthen its security culture and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  4. Develop and publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  5. Regularly audit and update website technologies and dependencies to avoid vulnerabilities and maintain performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using the Oxygen Builder framework, which allows for flexible and responsive design. It utilizes jQuery and Google Fonts for enhanced UI/UX. The hosting and domain registration are managed by reputable providers, with Cloudflare DNS services in place. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in loading speed and accessibility features. The site lacks advanced analytics or tracking tools, which limits data-driven marketing but enhances privacy. Technical debt appears low, but the absence of DNSSEC and security headers indicates opportunities for modernization and improved security posture.
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.
