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

City Real Estate operates a Latvian real estate platform specializing in property sales and rentals primarily in Rīga and Jūrmala. The website offers comprehensive listings including apartments, houses, commercial spaces, land, and new projects. It targets local buyers, sellers, and renters, providing a user-friendly search interface and additional services such as real estate news and email subscription for offers. The company maintains a professional online presence with clear contact details and active social media channels. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS version 4.5, an older but functional content management system, supplemented by jQuery and Bootstrap for responsive design elements. The site includes modern features such as Google reCAPTCHA for form security and cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR requirements. However, the CMS version is outdated, which may pose security risks if not regularly patched. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses reCAPTCHA to protect forms, but lacks visible security headers such as CSP or HSTS. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. Privacy compliance is well addressed with a clear privacy policy and cookie consent banner. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain legitimacy verification, but the website content and business information appear consistent and trustworthy. Overall, the website demonstrates a solid business and technical foundation with room for security enhancements and modernization. It is suitable for general audiences with no adult or unsafe content. Strategic improvements in security headers, CMS updates, and explicit security policies would strengthen its posture and trustworthiness.

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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  2. Security headers

    • High

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

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

City Real Estate holds a strong position in the Latvian real estate market, focusing on residential and commercial property transactions and rentals. Its business model revolves around providing a comprehensive online platform for property listings, supported by additional services like news and project promotions. The company leverages multiple social media platforms to enhance visibility and customer engagement. Revenue streams likely include listing fees, advertising, and partnerships. The platform targets local consumers and real estate professionals, indicating a medium-sized operation with a focused regional presence. The lack of WHOIS data restricts deeper insights into corporate structure or ownership, but the professional presentation and extensive listings suggest a stable market player.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and Google reCAPTCHA is implemented on contact forms to mitigate spam and abuse. Cookie consent mechanisms demonstrate GDPR awareness. However, the absence of key security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) reduces defense-in-depth. The use of an outdated TYPO3 CMS version raises concerns about patching and vulnerability exposure. No incident response or security policy pages are present, limiting transparency and preparedness. No direct vulnerabilities or sensitive data leaks were observed. Overall, the security posture is adequate but would benefit from modernization, enhanced headers, and documented policies to improve resilience and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Upgrade TYPO3 CMS to the latest supported version to address security vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  3. Publish explicit security and incident response policies to increase transparency and readiness.
  4. Enhance mobile optimization and accessibility to improve user experience across devices.
  5. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS 4.5, supplemented by jQuery and Bootstrap 3.3.4 for UI components and responsiveness. Google reCAPTCHA v2 is used for form protection, and CookieConsent library manages cookie banners. The site loads scripts asynchronously and uses minified CSS and JS for performance. The meta tags and Open Graph data are well configured for SEO and social sharing. Mobile optimization is basic but functional. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in modernizing the tech stack and optimizing assets. Accessibility features are minimal but present. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but requires updates to maintain security and performance standards.
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.
