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

PARRA+ is a subscription-based digital content platform dedicated to providing exclusive media related to the Parramatta Eels rugby league club. It offers fans behind-the-scenes videos, interviews, podcasts, and interactive content such as quizzes and competitions. The platform targets Parramatta Eels supporters and rugby league enthusiasts, positioning itself as the official source for premium club content. Technically, the website is built on the Ghost CMS platform, leveraging modern web technologies including Google Fonts, Stripe for payments, and analytics tools like Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices and demonstrates good SEO and accessibility practices. Security-wise, the website enforces HTTPS and includes basic security headers, with no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, it lacks a visible cookie consent mechanism and explicit security or incident response policies. WHOIS data is unavailable due to privacy protection, which is common for this type of media platform and does not detract significantly from its legitimacy. Overall, PARRA+ presents a professional and trustworthy digital presence with room for improvement in privacy compliance and security transparency.

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. 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 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

PARRA+ operates in the media sector, focusing on sports content for a niche audience of Parramatta Eels fans. Its business model relies on subscription revenue, supplemented by free access for official Eels members, indicating a hybrid monetization approach. The platform benefits from strong brand association with the Parramatta Eels, leveraging official club branding and social media channels to build trust and engagement. The content strategy includes diverse media formats and interactive features, enhancing user retention and value. While the website does not disclose detailed company or contact information, its integration with official club channels and use of professional content management systems suggest a stable operational foundation. The absence of direct contact details and limited privacy compliance features may impact user trust and regulatory adherence, representing areas for strategic enhancement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and basic security headers implemented. There is no evidence of exposed sensitive information or use of vulnerable libraries. The inclusion of third-party analytics and tracking scripts is standard but requires transparent privacy controls, which are currently insufficient due to the lack of a cookie consent banner. Incident response and security policy documentation are absent, limiting the site's preparedness for security events. The WHOIS privacy protection, while common, reduces transparency but is justified given the business type. Recommendations include implementing comprehensive privacy controls, publishing security policies, and enhancing HTTP security headers to further strengthen the security posture.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a visible cookie consent banner to ensure compliance with privacy regulations such as GDPR and CCPA.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Enhance HTTP security headers by adding Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Provide clear and accessible contact information for business and security inquiries to build user trust.
  5. Regularly review third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate risks from external libraries.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Ghost CMS version 5.129, a modern and well-supported content management system optimized for blogging and media content. It uses Google Fonts for typography and integrates Stripe.js for payment processing, indicating a secure and scalable payment infrastructure. The site employs Flickity for carousel displays and includes Facebook Pixel and Google Analytics for marketing and user behavior tracking. Performance is optimized with preconnect and preload directives for fonts, and the site is mobile responsive with good accessibility features. No technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Opportunities exist to improve privacy compliance and security header implementation to align with best practices.
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.
