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

Business Property Network is a small real estate agency specializing in commercial property lettings and rentals primarily in Somerset and surrounding areas in the United Kingdom. The website presents a professional and consistent brand image with clear descriptions of their services and target audience focused on businesses seeking commercial properties. Technically, the site is built on the Squarespace platform, leveraging modern web technologies and delivering a good user experience with mobile optimization and moderate performance. Security posture is strong with HTTPS and HSTS enabled, though additional security headers and privacy policies are lacking. The absence of WHOIS data due to domain registration errors introduces uncertainty about domain legitimacy, though the website content and social media presence suggest a legitimate business. Overall, the site is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and clearer contact 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.

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 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn

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

The company operates as a local/regional commercial property estate agent with a business model centered on property lettings and rentals. Their market position is focused on Somerset and nearby towns, targeting businesses needing commercial spaces. The website indicates a straightforward service offering without complex e-commerce or subscription models. Social media integration suggests active engagement channels. The lack of detailed company registration or VAT information limits deeper business intelligence. No partnerships or subsidiaries are indicated. The business appears stable but small-scale with room for growth and improved digital maturity.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS with HSTS, indicating a good baseline security configuration. However, it lacks several recommended security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options, which could improve protection against common web attacks. No sensitive data exposure or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. The absence of privacy and cookie policies is a compliance gap, especially under GDPR. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which limits transparency. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be strengthened with additional headers, policies, and documented security practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance web security.
  3. Provide clear contact information including company emails and phone numbers for customer and security incident reporting.
  4. Establish and publish an incident response plan or contact channel for security issues to improve transparency.
  5. Investigate and resolve domain registration issues to ensure domain legitimacy and avoid potential trust concerns.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Squarespace platform, utilizing standard web technologies such as HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript. It uses Squarespace's CDN for hosting and asset delivery, which supports good performance and availability. The site includes modern meta tags for SEO and social sharing (Open Graph, Twitter Cards, JSON-LD structured data). Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design and appropriate image handling. Accessibility features are basic but present. No advanced frameworks or custom backend technologies were detected. The site could improve by adding more accessibility features and optimizing performance further.
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.
