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

Total Internet is an established Australian company founded in 1999 specializing in domain name registration, hosting solutions, online marketing, web development, and business intelligence services. It holds a strong market position as an industry leader with ISO27001-13 certification and accreditations from ASIC, auDA, and ACIC. The company operates multiple subsidiaries including ddns.com.au, cheaperdomains.com.au, and ib.com.au, targeting individuals, small businesses, and enterprises. Technically, the website uses nginx with the Foundation framework and jQuery, delivering fast performance and good mobile optimization, though it lacks modern TLS protocol support. Security posture is solid with HSTS enabled and a valid SSL certificate, but improvements are needed in TLS protocol support and privacy compliance. No privacy or cookie policies were found, and incident response information is absent, indicating gaps in compliance and security transparency. Overall, the website is professional with consistent branding and clear contact information but could enhance trust through improved security and privacy practices.

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 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

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

Total Internet's market positioning is strong within the Australian domain registration and business intelligence sectors, leveraging accreditations and ISO certification as competitive advantages. Its business model combines domain and hosting services with business intelligence products, serving a broad customer base from individuals to enterprises. Revenue streams likely include domain registrations, hosting fees, marketing services, and intelligence products. The partnership ecosystem includes its subsidiaries which provide specialized services. Growth indicators include long-standing operation since 1999 and expansion into intelligence services. Strategic observations suggest focusing on enhancing digital privacy compliance and incident response capabilities to maintain market trust and regulatory adherence.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate with foundational best practices such as HSTS and valid SSL certificates in place. However, the absence of modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2/1.3) weakens the SSL configuration. No known vulnerabilities like Heartbleed or POODLE are present. Compliance gaps exist due to missing privacy and cookie policies and lack of incident response disclosures, which could expose the company to regulatory risks. Data protection practices are implied by ISO27001 certification but not explicitly documented on the site. Incident response readiness is unclear with no dedicated contact channels for security issues. The security culture appears to prioritize certification but lacks transparency in public-facing policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable TLS 1.2 or TLS 1.3 protocols to strengthen SSL security.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR and privacy regulation compliance.
  3. Develop and disclose an incident response policy including dedicated security contact channels.
  4. Implement a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve security transparency.
  5. Enhance website accessibility and SEO metadata to improve user experience and search engine visibility.

Notes

The website infrastructure is based on nginx web server with a frontend built using the Foundation framework and jQuery library, indicating a modern but basic tech stack. The absence of a CMS suggests a custom or static site approach. Performance metrics indicate fast load times, though resource counts and page size data are missing. Hosting provider details are not explicit but DNS records point to quick.net.au infrastructure. Technical debt is minimal but the lack of modern TLS support and missing privacy/security policies highlight areas for modernization. Opportunities include upgrading SSL protocols, integrating privacy compliance tools, and enhancing accessibility standards to reduce operational risks.
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.
