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

3 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

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

The company operates in the real estate sector, targeting homebuyers and property owners seeking professional survey services. Their business model is service-oriented, focusing on property inspection and advisory services. Market positioning is regional with specialized offerings such as party wall advice and RICS-compliant surveys. The website content and structured data indicate a focus on trust and professionalism, supported by clear contact channels and service descriptions. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries. The company has been active since 2009, suggesting stability and experience in the market.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enforced and DNSSEC enabled for domain integrity. However, it lacks explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and does not publish a security policy or incident response contact details. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The cookie consent mechanism is implemented, supporting GDPR compliance to some extent. The absence of a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file indicates room for improvement in transparency and incident readiness. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced with additional policies and headers.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page detailing GDPR compliance and data handling practices.
  2. Implement and publish a security policy including incident response contact information.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve protection.
  4. Create a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on HubSpot CMS using the Elevate theme, incorporating modern web standards including responsive design, semantic HTML, and CSS variables. It uses Google Analytics 4 for tracking and Google Fonts for typography. Hosting is provided by HubSpot, ensuring reliable uptime and performance. The site loads a large number of CSS assets, which may impact performance slightly but overall is moderate in speed. Accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA labels are present, enhancing usability. SEO is supported by meta tags, Open Graph, Twitter cards, and JSON-LD structured data. Technical debt appears low, but optimization of asset loading could improve performance further.
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.
