Silverstripe is a New Zealand-based full-service digital design and technology company specializing in creative strategy, digital problem solving, cloud hosting, and open source CMS solutions. The company serves a diverse client base including government agencies and large enterprises, positioning itself as a trusted partner for impactful digital experiences. The website reflects a mature digital presence with professional branding, clear navigation, and relevant content showcasing recent projects and services. Technically, the site is built on Silverstripe CMS 5.3, incorporates modern JavaScript libraries, and uses Google Tag Manager for analytics. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with embedded multimedia enhancing user engagement. Security posture is generally strong with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data exposure, though explicit security headers are not detected and no public security or incident response policies are found.

Overall, the website demonstrates a solid digital maturity and business credibility with room for improvement in transparency around security policies and domain registration details.

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

3 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 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

  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

Silverstripe operates in the technology sector, focusing on digital services including strategy, web development, and cloud hosting. The company targets businesses and organizations seeking comprehensive digital solutions, leveraging a full-service model that combines creative and technical expertise. Their market position is strengthened by notable clients such as Westpac, Stats NZ, and the New Zealand Government, indicating strong trust and reputation. The business model includes professional services and managed hosting, supported by an open source CMS product. Growth indicators include active content updates and community engagement. The partnership ecosystem includes government and industry clients, with a focus on delivering accessible and secure digital experiences. Strategic observations highlight the importance of maintaining domain registration transparency and enhancing security policy disclosures to reinforce trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive information in the HTML content. However, the lack of detected security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement in hardening the site against common web attacks. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is publicly available, which could impact incident readiness and user trust. Compliance with GDPR is implied through a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain is a concern that should be addressed to ensure domain legitimacy and reduce risk of impersonation or domain hijacking. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from enhanced transparency and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and readiness.
  2. Add and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen site security.
  3. Verify and update domain WHOIS information to ensure transparency and trustworthiness of domain registration.
  4. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Enhance contact information by providing verified company email addresses for support and security contacts.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Silverstripe CMS version 5.3, indicating a modern and actively maintained content management system. The use of Google Tag Manager enables flexible analytics and marketing tracking. Embedded Vimeo videos and JavaScript libraries like skrollr enhance user experience with multimedia and smooth scrolling effects. The site is mobile responsive and accessible, with semantic HTML and ARIA attributes used in navigation and forms. Performance is moderate, with some room for optimization in loading times and resource management. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and implement advanced caching or CDN strategies to further enhance performance and security.
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.
