The website www.paramatildas.com.au serves as the official online presence for the CommBank ParaMatildas, Australia's national para football team. It provides comprehensive news, updates, team information, and engagement opportunities for fans and supporters. The site is professionally designed with consistent branding and strong partner affiliations, reflecting its position within the Australian sports non-profit sector under Football Australia. Technically, the site is built on Drupal 10, leveraging modern web technologies and Google advertising and analytics tools. It demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, though improvements could be made by adding security headers and a cookie consent mechanism.

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

5 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 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

  4. 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

Football Australia operates the ParaMatildas website as part of its broader mission to promote football inclusively across Australia. The site targets football fans, para sports supporters, and donors, offering news, merchandise, and donation options. The presence of major commercial partners like Nike, CommBank, Coles, and Allianz indicates strong sponsorship and funding streams. The business model is non-profit, focusing on community engagement and sports promotion. The website's integration with Football Australia's network and social media channels enhances its reach and credibility. Growth indicators include active news updates and event promotions. The partnership ecosystem is robust, supporting brand visibility and financial sustainability.

Security posture

The website maintains a good security posture with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive data. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt page is present, which could enhance incident response readiness. Privacy compliance is partial; while a comprehensive privacy policy is linked, no cookie consent mechanism is detected on the homepage. The site does not appear to collect personal data directly via forms on the homepage, reducing immediate risk. Overall, the security maturity is moderate to good, suitable for a non-profit sports website but with room for enhancement.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and incident response.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  5. Enhance WHOIS transparency if possible to improve trust signals for stakeholders.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10, a modern and widely supported CMS, indicating a solid technical foundation. It uses Google Tag Manager and Google Publisher Tags for analytics and advertising, which are industry standards. The site loads with moderate performance and is well optimized for mobile devices. Accessibility features are present, supporting a broad user base. The HTML and CSS are valid and well structured, supporting SEO and user experience. Hosting details are not explicitly found, but the site uses HTTPS with a valid certificate, indicating a reputable hosting environment. Opportunities exist to improve performance further and implement advanced security headers.
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.
