Security score

77/100

Risk levelLow

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

Transurban Group operates as one of the world’s largest toll-road operators, focusing on designing, building, and managing toll roads primarily in Australia, the United States, and Canada. Their business model centers on infrastructure management and toll collection, supported by community engagement and sustainability initiatives. The website reflects a mature corporate presence with clear branding, investor relations, and customer support portals. Technically, the site leverages Adobe Experience Manager CMS, integrates multiple analytics and tracking tools, and employs modern security practices including a strict Content-Security-Policy and HTTPS enforcement. However, the absence of publicly available WHOIS data and explicit security incident response contacts introduces some transparency concerns. Overall, the site is professionally maintained, secure, and compliant with privacy regulations, serving a broad audience including road users, investors, and communities.

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

3 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 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

  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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

Transurban holds a strong market position in the transportation infrastructure sector, operating toll roads across multiple countries with subsidiaries such as Linkt, Express Lanes, and A25. Their revenue streams likely include toll collections, infrastructure development contracts, and partnerships. The company targets government bodies, commuters, and investors, emphasizing safety, innovation, and sustainability. The website’s integration with multiple social media platforms and dedicated investor center indicates a focus on transparency and stakeholder engagement. The presence of community and sustainability content highlights corporate social responsibility efforts. The lack of direct contact information on the main site suggests a preference for channeling inquiries through dedicated portals or external domains.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with HTTPS enforced and a comprehensive Content-Security-Policy restricting resource origins. Use of reputable analytics and tracking services is evident, with no exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms limits transparency and may hinder rapid incident reporting. The WHOIS data is unavailable, which is unusual for a corporate domain and could indicate privacy protection or registry issues. Overall, the site is secure for users but could improve by publishing explicit security and incident response information to enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact page to improve transparency and user trust.
  2. Provide a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  3. Make verified company contact emails and phone numbers more accessible on the website for customer and security inquiries.
  4. Clarify WHOIS registration details or ensure transparency to reduce suspicion and improve domain trustworthiness.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and ensure compliance with evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager, a robust enterprise CMS, and uses modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery and various Adobe and Google analytics tools. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and preloading of fonts and styles. Accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA roles are implemented, and the site is mobile optimized. SEO is supported by comprehensive meta tags including Open Graph and Twitter cards. The site uses a strict Content-Security-Policy to mitigate XSS risks. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Hosting details are not explicit but likely enterprise-grade given the technology stack.
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.
