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

The Rugby Club Foundation Limited is a well-established Australian non-profit organization dedicated to supporting grassroots rugby, primarily in New South Wales. With a history dating back to 1945, the foundation promotes rugby through memberships, events, and grants programs, fostering community and fellowship among rugby enthusiasts. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, targeting rugby players, fans, and community supporters. Technically, the website is built on the Squarespace platform, leveraging modern web technologies including jQuery and Google reCAPTCHA Enterprise for form security. The site is mobile-optimized and performs moderately well, with good SEO and accessibility basics. Security posture is strong with HTTPS and HSTS enabled, though some improvements in privacy compliance and published security policies are recommended. Overall, the security posture is solid with no visible vulnerabilities or malicious content. The WHOIS data is limited due to .au domain policies, but the website's content and external partnerships support its legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include implementing cookie consent mechanisms, publishing security and incident response policies, and enhancing accessibility features to improve compliance and trust.

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 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

  3. 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

Business profile

The Rugby Club Foundation operates as a non-profit entity with a clear mission to support and promote rugby at the grassroots level in Australia. Its business model revolves around memberships, events, and grants, engaging a community of over 1000 members and partnering with recognized rugby organizations. The foundation's market position is strong within the Australian rugby community, leveraging its historical significance and partnerships to maintain influence. Revenue streams likely include membership fees, event ticket sales, and donations. The partnership ecosystem is robust, linking to multiple rugby-related organizations, enhancing credibility and reach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS and HSTS headers, ensuring secure communications. Google reCAPTCHA Enterprise is integrated to protect forms from automated abuse. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure program indicates room for improvement in transparency and preparedness. Privacy compliance is partial, lacking a visible cookie consent banner and comprehensive cookie policy. Overall, the site is secure but could benefit from enhanced documentation and user privacy controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a visible cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to enhance privacy compliance.
  2. Publish a security policy and incident response plan to improve transparency and user trust.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to meet compliance standards and improve user experience.
  5. Develop a terms of service page to clarify user rights and obligations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on Squarespace, utilizing its CMS and infrastructure, which provides a stable and secure foundation. The tech stack includes jQuery and Google reCAPTCHA Enterprise for enhanced security on forms. The site embeds video content via Wistia, indicating multimedia support. Performance is moderate, with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. The site uses modern fonts and CSS animations, contributing to a professional appearance. Technical risks are minimal, primarily related to the lack of explicit privacy and security documentation rather than infrastructure weaknesses.
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.
