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

Calder Weir Properties (CWP) is a UK-based property consultancy specializing in property development, land promotion, and property investment. Established in 1998 and operating under Bruce Weir Holdings Ltd, the company has a steady growth trajectory and serves property owners, investors, and developers primarily in the UK market. Their website reflects a professional presence with clear service offerings and contact information but lacks formal privacy and security policy disclosures. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using Elementor and related plugins, hosted by Fasthosts Internet Ltd. It employs HTTPS with good SSL configuration and modern web technologies, providing a moderate performance and good mobile optimization. However, accessibility and SEO optimizations are basic, and no advanced analytics or tracking tools are detected. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS but lacks security headers and formal security policies or incident response information. There is no cookie consent mechanism or GDPR compliance indicators, which are critical gaps for privacy compliance. No vulnerabilities or suspicious domains were detected, and WHOIS data confirms domain legitimacy and consistency with business claims. Overall, the website is a solid representation of a small UK property consultancy but requires improvements in privacy compliance, security best practices, and transparency to enhance trust and regulatory adherence.

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. 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

  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';…

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

CWP holds a niche position in the UK real estate sector focusing on property development, investment, and land promotion. Their business model revolves around consultancy and direct involvement in property markets, targeting property owners and investors. The company benefits from a long-established presence since 1998 and operates under a parent company, Bruce Weir Holdings Ltd. The website content and structure support steady growth and professional service delivery but lack advanced digital marketing or analytics capabilities. No partnerships or subsidiaries are explicitly mentioned, indicating a focused operational scope. The absence of privacy and security policies suggests potential compliance risks in data protection regulations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. There is no evidence of incident response readiness or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, which limits the organization's ability to manage security incidents effectively. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies and lack of GDPR indicators. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but requires enhancements to meet best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance mechanisms including cookie consent banners.
  2. Add security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to improve web security.
  3. Establish and publish an incident response policy and vulnerability disclosure program (e.g., security.txt).
  4. Enhance accessibility and SEO optimizations to improve user experience and search visibility.
  5. Consider integrating analytics with privacy-respecting configurations to better understand user behavior and improve marketing.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using Elementor and related plugins, hosted by Fasthosts Internet Ltd. It uses HTTPS with valid SSL certificates and loads external resources primarily from its own domain and Google Fonts. The site shows moderate performance with good mobile responsiveness but basic accessibility features. No advanced analytics or advertising scripts are present, indicating minimal tracking. The technical stack is current but could benefit from improved security headers and enhanced SEO and accessibility practices to reduce technical debt and improve resilience.
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.
