Ratchet · Other · Australia

Medium risk. 7 critical or high findings in Security headers and GDPR outside view.

Security score

65/100

Risk levelMedium

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

Ratchet.com.au is an Australian business website currently under construction, offering minimal content and no detailed business description. The site uses Webflow CMS with standard web fonts and basic JavaScript libraries such as jQuery. The technical infrastructure appears standard for a small business site but lacks advanced security measures and privacy compliance features. Security posture is weak due to absence of security headers and policies. Contact information is limited to a single email address with no phone or physical address provided. Overall, the website is in an early development stage with limited digital maturity and low trust indicators.

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

7 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 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

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

The business behind ratchet.com.au is positioned as a small Australian entity with no clear market positioning or detailed service offerings visible on the site. The lack of business information, certifications, or social media presence limits insight into competitive advantages or revenue streams. The website's under construction status suggests early-stage operations or redevelopment. No partnerships or subsidiaries are indicated. The target audience appears general, but no specific customer segments or business models are disclosed.

Security posture

The website lacks fundamental security best practices such as HTTPS enforcement (not verifiable from provided data), security headers, and incident response contacts. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates non-compliance with GDPR and other privacy regulations. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected, reducing privacy risks but also limiting business intelligence. Overall, the security maturity is low, exposing the business to potential risks if sensitive data collection begins without proper safeguards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and enforce secure connections.
  2. Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and other regulations.
  3. Include security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  4. Establish an incident response contact channel (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email).
  5. Develop a vulnerability disclosure policy or publish a security.txt file to improve transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Webflow CMS, using jQuery and Typekit fonts. Hosting appears to be via Syrahost based on nameservers. The site loads moderate assets including SVG animations. Performance is likely moderate given the use of Webflow and external font loading. Mobile optimization is basic but present. SEO and accessibility features are minimal, with no structured data or meta tags beyond the title and viewport. The site is currently a placeholder with limited content, indicating technical debt and opportunity for modernization as development progresses.
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.
