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

Cahill Homes is a specialized residential design and construction company focused on delivering high-end lifestyle amenities in Central Florida. Established in 2000, the company positions itself as a recognized innovator in luxury residential design-build services, targeting discerning clients seeking personalized and elevated home experiences. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear service offerings and client advocacy emphasis. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with Gravity Forms and uses modern JavaScript frameworks like Alpine.js. It is hosted behind Cloudflare DNS but lacks DNSSEC and some security headers, indicating room for improvement in security hardening. The site uses HTTPS and Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms, showing a baseline security posture. However, the absence of privacy and cookie policies represents a compliance gap, especially regarding GDPR and other privacy regulations. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professionally maintained but would benefit from enhanced security policies and transparency. Strategic recommendations include implementing DNSSEC, adding security headers, publishing privacy and cookie policies, and establishing a vulnerability disclosure process.

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

11 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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';…

  3. 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

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

Cahill Homes operates in the real estate sector, specifically in luxury residential design and construction. Its business model revolves around providing comprehensive design-build services with a strong client advocacy and concierge oversight approach. The company targets affluent homeowners in Central Florida, emphasizing quality, transparency, and personalized service. The website's content and social media presence support a focused marketing strategy aimed at high-end clientele. The domain age and registration data align with the company's claimed history, enhancing credibility. No partnerships or subsidiaries are evident from the website. The company appears to maintain a lean operation with a small team, focusing on quality over volume. The lack of explicit certifications or trust badges suggests an opportunity to strengthen market positioning through recognized industry credentials.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of Google reCAPTCHA on forms to mitigate spam and abuse. Domain registration includes EPP status codes that prevent unauthorized transfers or deletions, which is a positive control. However, the absence of DNSSEC leaves the domain vulnerable to DNS spoofing attacks. No HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or Strict-Transport-Security were detected, which could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. There is no published privacy policy or cookie consent mechanism, which is a compliance risk under GDPR and other privacy laws. No incident response contacts or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are provided, limiting transparency and responsiveness to security issues. Overall, while basic security measures are in place, the site would benefit from enhanced security controls and compliance documentation to reduce risk and improve trust.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to harden the website against common attacks.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations and improve user trust.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Consider appointing or publicly listing a Data Protection Officer or security contact to enhance incident response readiness and compliance transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using Gravity Forms for data collection and Alpine.js for frontend interactivity. It leverages Cloudflare DNS services but does not have DNSSEC enabled, which is a missed opportunity for DNS security. The site loads multiple CSS and JS assets efficiently and uses Google reCAPTCHA v3 to protect forms. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured navigation. However, the lack of security headers and privacy compliance documentation indicates technical debt in security and compliance areas. The site is well-branded and professionally designed, but technical improvements in security and privacy would enhance overall resilience and trustworthiness.
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.
