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

Timing Solutions is an Australian-based company specializing in results management software and timing solutions for athletics and other sports events. The company offers a comprehensive suite of services including wireless timing gates, RFID, manual timing, race accessories, carnival hire, website templates, hosting, and product training and support. Their strong market position is supported by established relationships with Little Athletics centres across Australia and integration with other platforms such as RevSport. The website is built on Squarespace, leveraging modern web technologies and third-party services like Google Analytics and Zopim Live Chat to enhance user engagement and analytics capabilities. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced, but the absence of security headers and cookie consent mechanisms indicates room for improvement. Overall, the website presents a professional and trustworthy image consistent with a small but focused technology provider in the sports event management sector.

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

6 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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

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 targets athletics clubs, schools, and sports event organizers primarily within Australia. Its business model revolves around providing integrated software and hardware solutions with ongoing support and training, positioning itself as a niche leader in the athletics timing market. The company benefits from strong local partnerships and a loyal user base, particularly within the Little Athletics community. Revenue streams likely include software subscriptions, hardware sales, event services, and training. The presence of a login portal on a related domain indicates a broader ecosystem of services. The company’s Australian origin and grassroots evolution enhance its credibility and market trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces the overall security posture. There is no evidence of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure program. The absence of a cookie consent banner despite tracking scripts suggests incomplete privacy compliance. No critical vulnerabilities or malware indicators were detected. The security culture appears basic but could be enhanced with formal policies and improved technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and update privacy policy to reflect tracking and data collection practices for GDPR and other regulations.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  4. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly review third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are used.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on Squarespace, a reliable and widely used platform, ensuring good uptime and performance. The tech stack includes modern web fonts, Google Analytics for tracking, and Zopim for live chat support. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and clear navigation. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured data in JSON-LD format. Performance is moderate, typical for CMS-based sites with rich media content. Accessibility features are basic but present. Opportunities exist to enhance technical robustness by adding security headers and improving privacy compliance mechanisms.
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.
