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

Coldwell Banker International operates as a globally recognized real estate brand with a strong presence in 40 countries through a master franchise network. The company offers a comprehensive platform for property searches, agent and office locators, and franchising opportunities, targeting international buyers, sellers, and real estate professionals. The website reflects a mature business with a long history dating back to 1906 and is supported by a parent company, Anywhere Advisors LLC. The brand emphasizes trust, integrity, and service, with a consistent and professional digital presence. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including Google Tag Manager, Google Maps API, jQuery UI, and Owl Carousel, hosted on a CDN infrastructure ensuring moderate performance and good mobile optimization. The site includes GDPR-compliant privacy and cookie policies managed via TrustArc, indicating a commitment to privacy compliance. Navigation and content structure are clear and user-friendly, supporting a positive user experience. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and secure form handling, but lacks explicit security headers and published security policies or incident response information. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain reduces transparency and trust slightly, though the overall brand legitimacy and external link ecosystem support a moderate to high trust level. Overall, Coldwell Banker International presents a professional, secure, and privacy-conscious online presence suitable for its global real estate business. Strategic improvements in security policy transparency and WHOIS data visibility would enhance trust and compliance further.

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

4 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 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. 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.

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  4. 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

Coldwell Banker International holds a strong market position as a global real estate franchise leader with a diversified portfolio including commercial, luxury, and residential sectors. Its business model leverages franchising to expand internationally, supported by localized websites and services. The company targets affluent buyers and real estate professionals worldwide, with a focus on brand consistency and service quality. The extensive network of partner domains and social media presence indicates a mature partnership ecosystem. Growth indicators include expansion into new international markets and digital innovation such as mobile-first property listings. Revenue streams likely include franchise fees, commissions, and marketing services. The company benefits from a well-established brand and parent company backing, positioning it competitively in the global real estate market.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with HTTPS enforced and secure form handling including CSRF tokens. The use of TrustArc for cookie consent reflects compliance with privacy regulations such as GDPR. However, the absence of key security headers like Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security is a gap that could be addressed to enhance protection against common web attacks. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, which limits transparency and preparedness perception. No vulnerabilities or sensitive data exposures were found in the site content. The missing WHOIS data reduces domain registration transparency, which is a minor risk factor. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved with enhanced header policies and published security governance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to strengthen web security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Provide explicit contact information for security incidents to enhance trust and communication.
  5. Review domain registration details to improve WHOIS transparency or justify privacy protection for brand trust.

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.
