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

Smada Electrical Services is an established Australian company specializing in commercial electrical design, construction, and maintenance services since 1998. The company holds ISO certifications for quality, environmental, and occupational health and safety management, emphasizing reliable service delivery and environmental responsibility. Their target market includes commercial clients, local governments, and sports facilities. The website is built on WordPress with a moderate technical infrastructure, including several plugins for functionality such as sliders and contact forms. While the site is professionally designed with consistent branding and good user experience, it lacks modern security practices and privacy compliance features. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled and captcha protections, but outdated software versions and missing security headers present risks. No privacy or cookie policies are found, and contact information is limited to a client login form without public emails or phone numbers. Overall, the domain registration details align well with the business profile, indicating legitimacy. Strategic improvements in security updates, privacy compliance, and contact transparency are recommended.

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

8 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 company operates in the energy sector, focusing on electrical services for commercial and government infrastructure. Its business model centers on service delivery with a strong emphasis on quality and environmental sustainability, supported by ISO certifications. The company has a stable market position with over two decades of operation and a respected reputation. The website targets commercial and government clients, offering specialized services such as sports field lighting and automation infrastructure. The partnership with eOne Design for website development indicates a professional approach to digital presence. Growth potential exists through modernization of digital assets and enhanced client engagement features.

Security posture

The security maturity level is moderate. HTTPS is properly implemented, and captcha mechanisms protect login and password reset forms, indicating awareness of basic security needs. However, the use of outdated WordPress and jQuery versions exposes the site to known vulnerabilities. The absence of DNSSEC and security headers reduces defense-in-depth. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are present, and privacy compliance is lacking. The site would benefit from regular security updates, implementation of security headers, and formalized security policies to improve resilience and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to the latest secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement and publish privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR and privacy compliance.
  3. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security.
  4. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  5. Enhance contact transparency by providing public company contact emails and phone numbers.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses an older WordPress version (4.9.26) with legacy jQuery libraries, which may impact security and performance. The tech stack includes common plugins like WooSlider and Contact Form 7, and the site is hosted on infrastructure linked to Microsoft Online via DNS. Performance is moderate with basic mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO optimization is basic with standard meta tags but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags detected. The site design is consistent and professional but could benefit from modernization and improved technical hygiene.
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.
