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

Amberwood at Lochmere is a residential apartment community located in Cary, North Carolina, offering apartment rentals with various floor plans and community amenities. The website targets prospective renters in the local area and provides online leasing portals for applicants and residents. The business operates in the real estate sector with a small-sized local market presence. Technically, the website employs modern tools such as Google Tag Manager, OneTrust for cookie consent, and a chatbot leasing assistant, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices and a professional design. Security-wise, the website uses HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and cookie consent mechanisms, but lacks explicit security headers and published security policies or incident response information. The absence of WHOIS data raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy, although the website content and external links appear professional and trustworthy. Overall, the site presents a good user experience and business credibility but would benefit from improved transparency in privacy and security policies and clearer domain registration information.

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.

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. 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Amberwood at Lochmere positions itself as a local apartment rental provider in Cary, NC, focusing on residential leasing services. Its competitive advantage lies in providing detailed floor plans, photos, and amenities online, supported by digital leasing portals. The business model revolves around direct leasing to residents and applicants, supported by online platforms such as SecureCafe and Rise Buildings portals. The company maintains active social media channels on Facebook and Instagram to engage with its audience. While the website content is professional and relevant, the lack of publicly available company registration or WHOIS data limits deeper insights into corporate structure or ownership. The marketing ecosystem includes Google Tag Manager and Funnel Leasing chatbot, indicating investment in user engagement and analytics. Growth indicators are not explicit, but the digital presence suggests a focus on maintaining a competitive edge in the local rental market.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS enforced and SSL configured well, ensuring encrypted communications. The presence of a cookie consent banner via OneTrust indicates awareness of privacy regulations such as GDPR. However, the absence of key security headers like Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are published, which limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The unclear domain registration status due to missing WHOIS data is a notable risk factor, potentially impacting trust and domain ownership verification. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by adding security headers, publishing security policies, and clarifying domain registration details.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve transparency and regulatory compliance.
  3. Provide clear contact information for security incidents, including an incident response or abuse email address.
  4. Clarify domain registration details and ensure WHOIS data is accurate and publicly available to improve domain legitimacy trust.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and marketing tools to ensure no vulnerable or outdated libraries are in use.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including Google Tag Manager for analytics, OneTrust for cookie consent management, and Funnel Leasing chatbot for user engagement. The CMS platform appears to be RentCafe, a specialized property management and leasing solution. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features such as skip navigation links and ARIA labels. Performance is moderate, with preloading of images and fonts to improve load times. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, canonical links, and structured data usage is not explicitly detected in the truncated content. Hosting provider details are not evident from the content. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which require ongoing monitoring for security and performance impacts. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and more comprehensive structured data for SEO.
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.
