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

ArKadia operates as a large international real estate marketplace specializing in homes for sale by owner, commercial real estate, and vacation rentals. The platform targets home buyers, property owners, and real estate agents, offering services such as property listings for sale and rent, agent advertising, and market trend information. The website is multilingual and supports multiple currencies, enhancing its international reach. Technically, the site uses a mature JavaScript stack including jQuery, AmCharts, and analytics tools like Google Analytics and Yandex Metrika. The site is mobile optimized with good navigation and content relevance. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and secure login forms, but lacks advanced security headers and published security policies. Privacy compliance is partial with a comprehensive privacy policy but no cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the site appears legitimate and professionally maintained but could improve transparency and security 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

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

ArKadia holds a strong market position as a leading international FSBO real estate platform. Its business model revolves around connecting buyers and sellers directly, supplemented by agent advertising services. The platform supports a broad range of property types and rental options, appealing to a diverse customer base. The multilingual and multi-currency support indicates a focus on global markets. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests reliance on web forms for communication. The use of standard analytics and tracking tools supports marketing and user behavior analysis but lacks explicit user consent mechanisms. No evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries was found in the analyzed content.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS enforced and client-side validation on login forms. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No published security policy or incident response contacts were found, limiting transparency and preparedness communication. The site uses third-party analytics and tracking scripts without visible cookie consent banners, which may pose privacy compliance risks under GDPR. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. Overall, security practices are adequate but could be significantly enhanced with additional headers, policies, and user consent mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Deploy a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations given the use of tracking scripts.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Add direct company contact emails and phone numbers on the website to enhance business credibility and user trust.
  5. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a traditional web stack leveraging jQuery and jQuery UI for UI components, AmCharts for data visualization, and Parsley.js for form validation. Analytics are handled via Google Analytics and Yandex Metrika, indicating moderate digital maturity. The site is mobile optimized and uses responsive design principles. Performance is moderate, with multiple external scripts and stylesheets loaded from static.arkadia.com and third-party domains. No modern frontend frameworks or CMS platforms were detected. The site lacks advanced accessibility features but provides basic usability. Technical debt appears manageable but modernization opportunities exist, especially in adopting newer frameworks and improving 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.
