Wilson Homes is a well-established residential home builder based in Tasmania, Australia, with over 35 years of experience and a strong market position as the largest builder in the state. The company offers a comprehensive range of services including new home construction, house and land packages, display homes, and design customization. Their website reflects a professional and customer-focused business with rich content, multimedia, and clear navigation targeting Tasmanian home buyers and new home builders. Technically, the site is built on Drupal 10 and integrates modern analytics and marketing tools such as Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Clarity, Hotjar, and LiveChat, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced and use of reCAPTCHA, though some security headers and explicit policies could be improved. Privacy compliance is basic with no visible privacy or cookie policies and no consent mechanisms detected.

Overall, the site is trustworthy, well-designed, and serves its business purpose effectively.

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 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 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

Wilson Homes operates in the real estate sector focusing on residential construction and new home sales in Tasmania. Their business model centers on providing architecturally designed homes, house and land packages, and customer support through display homes and design studios. The company targets a broad audience of Tasmanian families and home buyers, leveraging a strong brand with a 30-year structural guarantee and multiple awards. Their digital presence supports lead generation and customer engagement with virtual tours, downloadable guides, and a customer portal. The absence of explicit privacy and security policies suggests room for compliance improvement. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified, indicating an independent operation. The company’s use of multiple marketing and analytics tools reflects a data-driven approach to customer acquisition and retention.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enabled and use of reCAPTCHA to protect forms. Security headers are minimal but present, and no sensitive data is exposed in the HTML content. The site uses reputable third-party analytics and marketing scripts loaded asynchronously to reduce risk. However, the lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates a gap in transparency and readiness. The WHOIS data is not publicly available, which is a minor concern for domain trust. Overall, the site is secure for typical business operations but could benefit from enhanced security headers and published policies to improve trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with explicit consent mechanisms to improve privacy compliance.
  2. Implement additional security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen security posture.
  3. Provide a publicly accessible security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and readiness.
  4. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider enabling DNSSEC for the domain to improve DNS security and trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10 CMS, leveraging modern web technologies including asynchronous loading of analytics and marketing scripts such as Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Clarity, Hotjar, and LiveChat. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA roles. Performance is moderate with multiple external scripts but no evident blocking issues. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, canonical links, and structured data in JSON-LD format describing the business and its offerings. The site uses embedded YouTube videos and Pinterest integration for rich media content. No hosting provider information was detected from the HTML content. Overall, the technical implementation is solid with opportunities for performance tuning and enhanced security configurations.
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.
