Flying Colours Group Tas is a small, state-wide design, print, and signage company based in Tasmania, Australia. The company offers a full range of creative services targeting businesses in Tasmania seeking professional design and signage solutions.

Technically, the site is built on WordPress using the Avada theme, leveraging common web technologies such as jQuery, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Facebook Pixel for marketing and analytics purposes. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly, though accessibility features are basic. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but lacking security headers and DNSSEC.

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. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  3. 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';…

  4. 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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 creative services sector, focusing on design, print, and signage solutions primarily for the Tasmanian market. Its business model is B2B service provision with a focus on creative and print services. The market position is that of a local specialist with state-wide reach in Tasmania. The website indicates a small-sized enterprise founded around 2020. The company maintains social media presence on Facebook and LinkedIn, supporting its marketing and customer engagement efforts. Revenue streams likely derive from service contracts and print/signage projects. The absence of detailed contact information and privacy policies suggests areas for operational improvement. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified. The company’s branding is consistent and professional, supporting a credible market presence.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications, which is a fundamental security measure. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces its defense against common web attacks. DNSSEC is not enabled, which could expose the domain to DNS spoofing risks. No evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries was found in the provided content. The use of third-party scripts like Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel introduces moderate tracking but no direct vulnerabilities were detected. The lack of a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact channels indicates limited preparedness for security incidents. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing recommended headers, enabling DNSSEC, and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements and implement a cookie consent mechanism.
  4. Add explicit contact information including company emails and phone numbers prominently on the website to improve trust and user engagement.
  5. Develop and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact channels to demonstrate security maturity and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using the Avada theme, a popular and feature-rich framework. It uses jQuery for client-side scripting and integrates Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing. FontAwesome is used for iconography. The site is mobile optimized and includes SEO best practices such as meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) describing the organization and webpage. Performance is moderate with no explicit indicators of slow loading but could be improved by optimizing third-party scripts. Accessibility is basic, with no advanced ARIA or accessibility features detected. Hosting provider details are not explicitly available from the data. Overall, the technical infrastructure is standard for small business websites but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security configurations.
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.
