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.

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.

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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Business context
Business profile
The club holds a solid market position as a recognized Australian football team with a medium-sized digital presence. Its business model includes fan engagement, ticket sales, merchandise, and community programs. Partnerships with ticketing platforms and league sites enhance its ecosystem. The website content and structure support fan interaction and brand loyalty. Growth indicators include active news updates and multimedia content. Strategic observations suggest enhancing privacy compliance and security transparency to strengthen trust.
Security posture
The website employs HTTPS and integrates security monitoring tools like New Relic. However, it lacks visible security headers and formal security policies such as incident response or vulnerability disclosure. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The absence of privacy and cookie policies is a compliance gap. The site should implement security headers, publish security and privacy policies, and consider a security.txt file to improve its security maturity and regulatory adherence.
Recommendations
Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
Provide clear contact information including security incident response channels.
Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking pixels to minimize security risks.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is powered by WordPress with a custom Keepup theme and child theme, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries and analytics tools. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. The site uses multiple third-party services for analytics, advertising, and video content delivery. Technical debt appears low, but improvements in accessibility and security header implementation are recommended. Hosting provider details are not explicit, suggesting potential for enhanced infrastructure transparency.
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.
