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

Emaar Properties PJSC is a leading real estate developer based in Dubai, UAE, with a strong international presence. The company specializes in premium property development, community management, hospitality, and entertainment services. Their website reflects a mature digital presence with comprehensive property listings, community information, and customer engagement tools. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern JavaScript libraries and integrates analytics and marketing tools such as Google Tag Manager and Amplitude. However, the website suffers from a critical security flaw due to an invalid or missing SSL certificate and lack of enabled TLS protocols, which significantly impacts its security posture. Privacy and cookie policies are well implemented with consent mechanisms, supporting GDPR compliance. Overall, the site demonstrates high professionalism and business credibility but requires urgent remediation of its SSL/TLS configuration to ensure secure user interactions.

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.

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

Emaar Properties holds a dominant market position in Dubai's real estate sector, offering a diverse portfolio of residential, commercial, and hospitality properties. Their business model includes property sales, leasing, community management, and entertainment ventures, supported by subsidiaries such as Emaar Hospitality and Emaar Malls. The company targets affluent buyers and investors seeking luxury and lifestyle-oriented real estate solutions. Their digital ecosystem includes multilingual support and integration with communication platforms like WhatsApp, enhancing customer engagement. The presence of investor relations and press releases indicates transparency and active market communication. The company leverages modern web technologies and analytics to optimize marketing and user experience.

Security posture

The website implements several security best practices including strict security headers (HSTS, CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection, and others) and secure cookie flags. However, the absence of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols represent critical vulnerabilities that expose users to potential data interception and undermine trust. The site lacks public security policies or incident response information, which could improve transparency and preparedness. Forms are protected with CAPTCHA to mitigate spam. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but requires immediate attention to SSL/TLS issues to meet industry standards and protect user data.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL certificate to enable HTTPS and secure communications.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) and disable deprecated versions.
  3. Implement OCSP stapling and session resumption to improve SSL performance and security.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible to users.
  5. Regularly audit and update security headers and Content Security Policy to adapt to evolving threats.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by WordPress CMS with a custom child theme and uses popular JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Slick Slider for UI components. It integrates third-party services including Google Tag Manager, Amplitude Analytics, and Calendly for marketing and scheduling. The site is hosted on Microsoft Azure CDN infrastructure, ensuring global content delivery. Performance metrics are not explicitly provided but the use of lazy loading and CDN suggests moderate to good performance. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design and mobile-specific search modals. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO is enhanced by Yoast SEO plugin with proper meta tags and structured data in JSON-LD format. Technical debt appears low, but SSL/TLS misconfiguration is a significant risk to business operations and user 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.
