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

British Pacific Properties Limited is a well-established real estate developer focused on creating exceptional residential communities in West Vancouver, Canada. With a legacy dating back to 1931, the company emphasizes quality, nature, and lifestyle in its developments. The website serves as a professional platform to showcase their communities, history, and upcoming projects, targeting prospective home buyers and residents interested in upscale neighborhoods. Technically, the website is built on WordPress and leverages modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and GSAP for interactive elements. Hosting is provided by GreenGeeks, and the site includes Google Tag Manager and Usercentrics for analytics and consent management, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. The site is mobile optimized and has good SEO practices, though accessibility features are basic. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and has domain transfer protections enabled. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and no advanced security headers were detected. There is no published security policy or incident response contact, which could be improved. Privacy and cookie policies are present and include consent mechanisms, supporting GDPR compliance. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and secure for its business purpose. Recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, adding security headers, publishing a security policy, and enhancing accessibility to further strengthen the 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

5 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 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

  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

  4. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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

British Pacific Properties holds a strong market position as a legacy real estate developer in West Vancouver, with a focus on high-quality residential community development. Their business model centers on creating and managing upscale neighborhoods with a commitment to nature and lifestyle. The company targets affluent home buyers and residents seeking premium living environments. The website reflects a medium-sized enterprise with consistent branding and clear contact information. The lack of parent or subsidiary companies suggests an independent operation. The company leverages partnerships for hosting and analytics but does not display extensive third-party affiliations on the site.

Security posture

The current security posture is moderate. HTTPS is properly implemented, and domain transfer protections are in place, which are positive indicators. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options represents missed opportunities to harden the site against common web attacks. No security or incident response policies are published, limiting transparency for security incidents. The use of third-party scripts like Google Tag Manager and Usercentrics is standard but requires ongoing monitoring to avoid vulnerabilities. Overall, the site is secure for general use but could benefit from enhanced security controls and documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance website accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a WordPress CMS with a custom theme and modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery, GSAP, and Slick Carousel for UI interactions. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics, and Usercentrics manages cookie consent, indicating compliance with privacy regulations. Hosting is provided by GreenGeeks, a known hosting provider. The site loads with moderate performance and is mobile optimized. Technical debt appears low, but the lack of advanced security headers and DNSSEC suggests room for modernization. The site structure and SEO meta tags are well implemented, supporting good search engine visibility.
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.
