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

CIB is an established real estate network platform based in Belgium, operating since 1998. The website serves as a hub for real estate professionals to connect and access property-related services. The platform leverages modern web technologies including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Font Awesome icons, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. The site implements a cookie consent mechanism via iubenda, reflecting some attention to privacy compliance. However, the absence of a visible privacy policy and terms of service on the homepage limits full compliance and transparency. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS implied but lacking explicit security headers and published security policies. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security disclosures to improve user trust and regulatory 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 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

CIB operates in the real estate sector, targeting professionals and stakeholders within Belgium. The business model centers on networking and providing industry-specific services such as property listings and events. The domain age and registrar data support the legitimacy and established market presence of the company. The website's content and design quality are good, supporting a positive user experience. The use of third-party analytics and cookie management tools suggests an awareness of digital marketing and compliance needs. However, the lack of explicit contact information and security policies may limit customer confidence and regulatory adherence. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries from the provided data.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS and includes cookie consent scripts, which are positive security indicators. However, no security headers were detected in the provided data, and there is no published security or incident response policy. The absence of a privacy policy and terms of service reduces transparency and compliance with GDPR. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified in the HTML content. The security score is moderate, but improvements are needed in policy publication, security headers, and contact channels for incident reporting to enhance the security culture and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the homepage.
  2. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Add explicit contact information including company emails and phone numbers for support and security incident reporting.
  4. Conduct a security audit to ensure no vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data exist.
  5. Enhance accessibility and SEO features to improve user experience and search engine ranking.

Technical notes

Notes

The website employs modern web technologies including asynchronous loading of analytics and cookie consent scripts, and uses Font Awesome Pro icons for UI consistency. Hosting appears to be managed by Combell nv, a reputable provider. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. Mobile optimization is good, but accessibility features are basic. SEO optimization is present but could be improved with more comprehensive meta tags and structured data. No CMS was explicitly detected from the HTML snippet. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional web presence but could benefit from modernization and enhanced compliance features.
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.
