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

Gleeds is a global property and construction consultancy with a long-standing history dating back to 1875. The company offers a broad range of consultancy services focused on the built environment, targeting clients in the real estate and construction sectors. The website reflects a professional brand image with consistent messaging and a clear focus on their industry expertise. Technically, the site employs modern web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and integrates third-party tools such as Google Tag Manager and Cookiebot for analytics and privacy compliance. Accessibility features are supported via the UserWay widget, enhancing usability for users with disabilities. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and anti-forgery cookies in use; however, explicit security headers are not clearly detected and no public security or incident response policies are found. The domain WHOIS data is missing or protected, which reduces trustworthiness from a registration transparency perspective. Cookie consent mechanisms are well implemented, supporting GDPR compliance. Overall, the website is professional and secure but would benefit from improved transparency in domain registration and explicit privacy and security policy disclosures.

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

1 finding 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 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

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

Gleeds positions itself as an established leader in property and construction consultancy, leveraging its heritage since 1875 to build trust and authority. The business model centers on providing expert consultancy services across multiple sectors within the built environment. Their market positioning is strong, targeting professional clients requiring project management, cost management, and property consultancy. The website integrates multiple analytics and marketing platforms, indicating a mature digital marketing strategy. However, the absence of explicit contact details and privacy policy pages may hinder user trust and engagement. The company appears to maintain partnerships with major platforms like Google, LinkedIn, and Microsoft for marketing and analytics. Growth indicators and subsidiary information are not disclosed, limiting deeper business intelligence insights.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of anti-forgery cookies to protect against CSRF attacks. Cookie consent is managed via Cookiebot, indicating attention to privacy compliance. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy suggests room for improvement in defense-in-depth. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The absence of a public security policy or incident response contact reduces transparency and preparedness perception. The missing WHOIS data also raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be enhanced by implementing recommended headers, publishing security policies, and improving domain registration transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish clear privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the website footer or main navigation.
  3. Provide explicit contact information including company emails and phone numbers to improve user trust and support.
  4. Verify and disclose domain registration details to enhance legitimacy and trustworthiness.
  5. Establish and publish a security incident response policy and consider adding a security.txt file for vulnerability disclosures.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack with HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, supported by third-party services such as Google Tag Manager for analytics and Cookiebot for cookie consent management. Accessibility is enhanced through the UserWay widget. The site is mobile optimized with good SEO practices including meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts to improve page load times. No CMS or hosting provider information was detected. The site lacks some advanced security headers and explicit structured data such as JSON-LD for business information, which could improve search engine understanding and security posture. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from additional security and SEO enhancements.
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.
