Security score

86/100

Risk levelLow

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

The website www.queensland.com serves as the official tourism portal for Queensland, Australia, managed by Tourism & Events Queensland. It provides comprehensive information on destinations, experiences, events, and holiday planning tools aimed at both international and domestic tourists. The site is well-branded, professionally designed, and offers a rich user experience with clear navigation and mobile optimization. Technically, it leverages modern technologies including Adobe Experience Manager CMS, React framework, and integrates with various Adobe marketing and analytics tools, as well as Google Maps and Azure B2C for authentication. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and use of recaptcha, but lacks visible security headers and published privacy or cookie policies. The WHOIS data is missing or inaccessible, which raises concerns about domain registration transparency, though the website content and social media presence strongly support legitimacy. Overall, the site is a high-quality, trustworthy resource for tourism information but would benefit from improved transparency in privacy and security disclosures.

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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  2. 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

Tourism & Events Queensland operates this site as a government entity promoting Queensland as a travel destination. The business model focuses on information dissemination and tourism promotion rather than direct sales. The site targets tourists globally, offering localized content for multiple regions and languages. The presence of official social media channels and integration with Adobe marketing tools indicates a mature digital marketing strategy. The lack of WHOIS data is unusual and should be investigated to ensure domain ownership legitimacy. The site’s extensive content and multimedia assets position it strongly in the tourism sector, supporting Queensland’s market presence as a premier holiday destination.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with HTTPS and modern authentication mechanisms via Azure B2C. Use of recaptcha helps mitigate automated abuse. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others reduces defense-in-depth. No public security or incident response policies were found, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present. The missing WHOIS data is a concern for domain trustworthiness. Overall, while no critical vulnerabilities were detected, improvements in transparency and security best practices are recommended to enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear user consent mechanisms to improve privacy compliance.
  2. Implement and configure security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, HSTS) to strengthen security posture.
  3. Provide clear contact information for security incidents and designate a data protection officer if applicable.
  4. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Verify and update WHOIS registration information to ensure domain legitimacy and transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager CMS with React for frontend components, hosted likely on AWS infrastructure. It integrates Adobe Launch for tag management, Adobe Helix RUM for performance monitoring, and Azure B2C for user authentication. The site uses lazy loading for images and preloads fonts for performance optimization. SEO is supported by canonical links, hreflang tags for internationalization, and structured data in JSON-LD format. Accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA roles are present. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in loading times. The technical stack is modern and robust, supporting a scalable and maintainable platform for tourism content delivery.
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.
