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

Rivoland is a specialized importer and retailer of premium tiles, porcelain, mosaics, natural stone, and terrazzo serving the Canberra and Queanbeyan regions in Australia. The company positions itself as a leading supplier with physical showrooms and trade centers, targeting homeowners, builders, architects, and designers. Their website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with a focus on quality products and expert advice. Technically, the website is built on WordPress and leverages modern web technologies including jQuery, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and SEO plugins like Yoast. The site is mobile-optimized and performs moderately well, with good SEO practices in place. However, there is room for improvement in accessibility and security headers. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with a good SSL configuration but lacks security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options. There are no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. Privacy compliance is limited due to the absence of privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms, which should be addressed to meet GDPR and other regulations. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional, with clear contact information and active social media presence. Strategic recommendations include implementing privacy and cookie policies, enhancing security headers, enabling DNSSEC, and adding incident response information to improve security posture and compliance.

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 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

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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

Rivoland operates in the retail sector focusing on premium tile importation and sales. Their competitive advantage lies in their curated product range sourced globally and local presence with showrooms and trade centers. The business model is B2C and B2B, serving individual homeowners and trade professionals. Revenue streams likely include direct sales and trade accounts. The company targets the Canberra and Queanbeyan markets, emphasizing quality and design expertise. Partnerships with design firms and suppliers are implied but not explicitly detailed. The website supports growth through digital presence and marketing tools like Google Ads and social media engagement.

Security posture

The current security maturity is moderate. HTTPS is enforced with a strong SSL setup, and no sensitive data leaks are evident. However, the absence of security headers reduces defense-in-depth. Forms are implemented with validation but lack visible anti-CSRF tokens or advanced protections. No incident response or security policy information is provided, indicating limited transparency and preparedness. GDPR compliance is partial due to missing privacy and cookie policies. The site uses reputable third-party analytics and marketing tools but should improve user privacy controls. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small retail website but requires enhancements to meet higher compliance and security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  4. Publish an incident response policy and provide dedicated security contact channels to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities and maintain security hygiene.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and SEO optimization via Yoast. It uses Gravity Forms for data collection and Ajax Search Lite for enhanced search functionality. The site loads moderately fast with lazy loading images and responsive design for mobile devices. However, accessibility features are basic and could be improved. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified but the domain registrar is a reputable Australian company. The site uses Google Fonts and multiple external scripts, which are standard for modern websites. Technical debt appears low but security best practices need strengthening.
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.
