Wax is a specialized engagement agency based in Australia, focusing on delivering premium digital experiences, dynamic content, and immersive events. The company positions itself as a premium provider in the interactive experience market, targeting businesses seeking to engage, educate, and execute strategy through marketing, digital solutions, content production, and events. Their client portfolio and partnerships indicate a strong presence in the Australian market with a focus on technology-driven engagement solutions. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern JavaScript libraries such as GSAP and Swiper, and uses Cloudflare for DNS and likely CDN services. The site is mobile optimized and designed with a professional and consistent branding approach. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration but lacks some security headers and explicit security policies. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism despite tracking scripts like Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and well-structured but could improve in security and privacy compliance aspects.

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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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

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

Wax operates as a small-sized digital engagement agency in the technology sector, offering services in marketing analytics, digital solutions, content production, and event management. Their business model revolves around providing creative and technological solutions to enhance client engagement and brand experiences. The company demonstrates a strong market position through partnerships with notable clients and a clear service portfolio. Their digital presence is supported by active social media channels and a well-maintained website. Revenue streams likely include project-based contracts and ongoing digital marketing services. The absence of privacy protection in WHOIS and consistent domain registration details support legitimacy. Growth indicators include a diverse client base and use of modern digital marketing tools.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate security posture with HTTPS enabled and no visible exposed sensitive data. However, it lacks several security best practices such as security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options), a published security policy, and incident response contact information. The absence of a cookie consent mechanism despite active tracking pixels indicates partial privacy compliance. No vulnerabilities or suspicious patterns were detected in the HTML or WHOIS data. The domain is locked against unauthorized updates, which is a positive security indicator. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for a small digital agency but could be enhanced to meet higher compliance standards such as GDPR and NIS2.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply with GDPR and improve user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to enhance trust and preparedness.
  4. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking pixels to minimize privacy risks and ensure compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern front-end stack including jQuery, GSAP for animations, and Swiper for interactive sliders. It uses Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing tracking. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, providing CDN and security benefits. The site is mobile responsive with good design quality and navigation clarity. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed and accessibility features. SEO is basic with meta tags and structured data implemented but no advanced SEO optimizations detected. Technical debt appears low, but security and privacy enhancements are recommended to reduce risk.
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.
