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

The Frost Partnership is a well-established estate agency operating across Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, and Middlesex, offering a wide range of residential and commercial property services including sales, lettings, valuations, property management, and developer services. The company positions itself as a trusted regional leader with a history dating back to 1906 and holds multiple industry certifications and awards. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies such as jQuery, Bootstrap, Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and Google Tag Manager, with good mobile optimization and user experience. Security measures include HTTPS enforcement and use of Google reCAPTCHA for forms, although security headers are not detected and could be improved. Privacy compliance is strong with clear policies and cookie consent mechanisms. The WHOIS data is unavailable due to domain naming rules errors, which is unusual and reduces domain registration trustworthiness, but the website content and business information appear professional and legitimate. Overall, the site scores well on content quality, technical implementation, security posture, privacy compliance, and business credibility, making it a reliable and professional online presence for the company.

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 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';…

  2. 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

The Frost Partnership targets property buyers, sellers, landlords, tenants, investors, and developers in the UK regions of Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, and Middlesex. Their business model focuses on estate agency services with diversified revenue streams including residential and commercial sales and lettings, property management, valuations, surveys, mortgage advice, and developer services. The company leverages its long history and industry certifications to maintain a strong market position and trust. Partnerships such as the Relocation Agent Network enhance their service offerings. The website's comprehensive content, testimonials, and awards support their competitive advantage. The absence of WHOIS data is a minor concern but does not detract from the overall business credibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of Google reCAPTCHA v3 to protect forms from abuse. Cookie consent mechanisms align with GDPR requirements. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options is a gap that should be addressed to mitigate risks like clickjacking and MIME sniffing. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. Overall, the security posture is good but can be strengthened with additional headers and documented policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to avoid vulnerabilities.
  4. Investigate and resolve the domain WHOIS data issue to improve domain registration trustworthiness.
  5. Maintain and enhance privacy compliance measures, including clear data retention policies and user rights information.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack with jQuery, Bootstrap, Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Google Tag Manager, and Google reCAPTCHA v3. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good navigation structure. Performance is moderate, with some use of PageSpeed optimizations (e.g., pagespeed CSS and JS). The site lacks explicit CMS identification and hosting provider details. Accessibility is basic but present. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Technical debt appears low, but adding security headers and improving accessibility could further enhance the site. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and user-friendly experience.
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.
