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

Tooheys is a well-established Australian beverage brand specializing in alcoholic drinks, primarily beer. The website enforces an age gate to ensure compliance with legal drinking age regulations, targeting adult consumers. The brand maintains a consistent and professional online presence with clear branding and social media integration. Technically, the site is built on WordPress using Elementor and includes modern JavaScript libraries and marketing tools such as Tealium for analytics and tracking.

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

5 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 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

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Facebook

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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 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

Tooheys operates in the retail sector focused on alcoholic beverages in Australia. The business model revolves around product sales and brand marketing. The website targets adults and complies with legal requirements through an age gate. The company leverages social media channels for brand engagement and uses third-party marketing and analytics tools. The absence of direct contact information on the age gate page suggests contact details may be located deeper in the site. The brand's partnership with DrinkWise indicates a commitment to responsible drinking messaging. The site’s technical infrastructure is modern but could benefit from enhanced security policies and transparency regarding incident response and vulnerability disclosures.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive data. The age gate implementation supports regulatory compliance. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a gap. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, which could hinder rapid response to security issues. The use of third-party scripts like Tealium requires ongoing monitoring to prevent supply chain risks. Overall, the site is secure but could improve transparency and hardening measures to elevate security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and marketing tools to minimize supply chain vulnerabilities.
  5. Provide clear contact information and incident response details to improve trust and compliance posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Elementor page builder, leveraging jQuery and custom plugins such as Affinity Age Gate for age verification. It uses Tealium for analytics and tracking. The site loads multiple CSS and JS assets efficiently and includes responsive design elements. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. The site lacks advanced security headers but uses HTTPS correctly. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Accessibility is basic and could be improved. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and suitable for a commercial brand but could benefit from security and performance enhancements.
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.
