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

Vanquish Motocraft is a small, family-owned automotive repair and car painting business located in Riverstone, Australia. The company emphasizes high-quality smash repairs and repainting services, supported by over 80 years of combined team experience. Their website reflects a local service provider with a strong focus on customer satisfaction, demonstrated by multiple positive testimonials and clear contact information. The business targets local vehicle owners seeking reliable vehicle repair services. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using Astra theme and WPBakery Page Builder, with good mobile optimization and SEO 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

4 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 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

  3. 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

  4. Network security

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

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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

Vanquish Motocraft operates in the transportation sector as a local automotive repair specialist. Their competitive advantage lies in their family-owned status, extensive experience, and strong customer service ethos. The business model is service-oriented, focusing on smash repairs and car painting for the Riverstone community. Revenue streams likely derive from direct vehicle repair services. The company maintains an active social media presence on Facebook and Instagram, enhancing community engagement. The partnership with ReachLocal suggests use of marketing tools to generate leads. Growth indicators include positive customer testimonials and a professional web presence. No evidence of subsidiaries or parent companies was found.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and a cookie consent mechanism in place. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others that could mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No explicit security policies or incident response contacts are published, which may limit transparency and preparedness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files indicates limited formal security communication. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small business but could be improved to enhance trust and resilience.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options) to improve protection against common attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  3. Add a terms of service page to clarify user and business obligations.
  4. Regularly audit and update all plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance by detailing GDPR-related practices and data retention policies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using the Astra theme and WPBakery Page Builder, indicating a flexible and widely supported infrastructure. The tech stack includes PHP, JavaScript, and jQuery, with Yoast SEO plugin for search optimization. Hosting is provided by Logical Hosting as inferred from nameservers. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness and basic accessibility features. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). There is no evidence of advanced analytics or tracking beyond cookie consent scripts. Technical debt appears low, but security enhancements and performance optimizations could be pursued to improve overall robustness.
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.
