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

Blend Property Group is a South African commercial property company established in 2006, specializing in property development, investment, and management across office, industrial, and retail sectors. With a portfolio valued around R2 billion and operations centered in major South African cities, the company offers in-house property management services to both its own assets and third-party clients. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand presence, providing clear contact details and business information. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using modern frameworks like Bootstrap and includes SEO and cookie consent plugins. The site is mobile-optimized and performs moderately well, though there is room for improvement in accessibility and security headers. The security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, but lacks advanced security headers and exposes some weak user interaction restrictions that may affect usability. WHOIS data is unavailable, likely due to privacy protection, which is common for commercial entities but reduces transparency. No WAF or blocking mechanisms were detected, allowing full content access. Privacy and cookie policies are present and GDPR compliant, supporting good privacy practices. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professional, with recommendations to enhance security headers, reconsider user interaction restrictions, and possibly add incident response contact information to strengthen security posture and compliance.

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 Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. 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

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

Blend Property Group operates in the South African real estate sector with a focus on commercial property investment and management. Their competitive advantage lies in their in-house property management team and a substantial asset base. The business model revolves around property development, asset management, and leasing services targeting commercial tenants and property owners. Revenue streams likely include rental income and management fees. The company targets investors and tenants in major metropolitan areas, indicating a focus on urban commercial real estate markets. Partnerships with local service providers and a professional digital presence suggest a mature operational model with growth potential. The absence of detailed financial or certification data limits deeper analysis but the company's longevity and asset size indicate stability.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and a cookie consent mechanism in place, reflecting compliance with basic privacy regulations. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options indicates potential gaps in defense-in-depth strategies. The disabling of right-click and keyboard shortcuts is a weak security measure that may degrade user experience and accessibility without providing meaningful protection. No incident response or security contact information is provided, which could hinder timely vulnerability reporting and response. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a commercial property website but could be improved by adopting standard security headers, enhancing transparency, and removing usability restrictions.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Remove or reconsider disabling right-click and keyboard shortcuts to improve accessibility and user experience.
  3. Add a dedicated security or incident response contact channel to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve trust.
  4. Regularly update WordPress core and plugins to mitigate known vulnerabilities and maintain security hygiene.
  5. Conduct periodic security audits and penetration testing to identify and remediate potential weaknesses.

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Bootstrap framework and uses common libraries such as jQuery and Flickity for UI components. SEO is enhanced via Yoast SEO plugin, and user data collection is managed through Gravity Forms. Cookie consent is handled by the Cookie Law Info plugin, indicating attention to privacy compliance. The site is mobile responsive and uses Google Fonts and Font Awesome for styling and icons. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected, though some scripts and styles are loaded from external CDNs which is standard practice. The site disables certain user interactions which may impact accessibility. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Overall, the technical infrastructure is standard for a mid-sized commercial website with opportunities for security and accessibility improvements.
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.
