Risk levelMedium

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

Steadfast Group operates as the largest general insurance broker network in Australasia, providing business insurance and risk management services. The website reflects a professional and well-established business with a clear market position targeting businesses seeking insurance brokerage services. The technical infrastructure is modern, leveraging Episerver CMS and multiple third-party analytics and marketing tools, indicating a mature digital presence. Security posture is strong with HTTPS and a strict Content-Security-Policy, although some legacy allowances in CSP could be tightened. Privacy compliance is limited based on the provided content, with no explicit privacy or cookie policies detected, which is an area for improvement. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professionally maintained, but WHOIS data is unavailable due to registrar restrictions, which is common for privacy protection but slightly reduces transparency.

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

4 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 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Steadfast Group's market position as the largest insurance broker network in Australasia suggests significant market share and influence. Their business model focuses on brokerage and advisory services in the insurance sector, targeting business clients. The website's content and metadata emphasize risk management and business insurance products, aligning with their core services. The use of multiple marketing and analytics platforms indicates active customer engagement and data-driven marketing strategies. Lack of visible contact information and privacy policies on the analyzed page suggests these may be located elsewhere or require better visibility. The absence of WHOIS data is consistent with privacy protection practices common in the industry.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a strong Content-Security-Policy header that restricts resource loading to trusted domains, enhancing protection against XSS and related attacks. The inclusion of multiple third-party scripts and ad networks introduces some risk, but no explicit vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The use of 'unsafe-eval' and 'unsafe-inline' in CSP is a potential security concern and should be reviewed. No security.txt or incident response contacts were found, indicating room for improvement in transparency and incident handling readiness. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by additional headers and clearer security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and prominently link a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Review and tighten Content-Security-Policy to remove or minimize 'unsafe-eval' and 'unsafe-inline' directives.
  3. Add security headers such as HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen security posture.
  4. Provide clear contact information including security incident response contacts and data protection officer details if applicable.
  5. Consider publishing a security.txt file to improve vulnerability disclosure transparency and incident response readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Episerver CMS, utilizing modern web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. It integrates multiple third-party services for fonts (Typekit), analytics (Google Analytics, Crazy Egg), marketing (Pardot, Taboola, AdRoll), and social media SDKs. The site uses a well-structured Content-Security-Policy to control resource loading. Performance appears moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. Accessibility is basic and could be improved. The presence of multiple ad and tracking services indicates a sophisticated marketing infrastructure but requires careful privacy management. No hosting provider details were identified from the content. Overall, the technical implementation is solid with opportunities for modernization and enhanced accessibility.
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.
