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

Gould Harrison is a well-established independent estate agency based in Ashford, UK, providing a comprehensive range of residential property services including sales, lettings, property management, conveyancing, mortgages, and surveying. The company has a strong local market presence since 1993 and targets home buyers, sellers, landlords, tenants, and property investors in Ashford and surrounding villages. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and integrates modern technologies such as React components, Leaflet maps, and Vimeo video content, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS and includes cookie consent mechanisms but lacks some advanced security headers and a robust Content-Security-Policy, which are recommended for enhanced protection. The absence of WHOIS data due to domain naming rules issues slightly impacts trust but does not detract from the professional appearance and operational legitimacy of the business. Overall, the website demonstrates good content quality, technical implementation, and privacy compliance, supporting a positive business credibility profile.

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

2 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

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 with a focus on residential property services. Its business model revolves around agency commissions from sales and lettings, supplemented by ancillary services such as conveyancing and mortgage advice. Gould Harrison leverages digital marketing and social media channels to engage its target audience and maintain market visibility. The firm’s long-standing local presence and comprehensive service offering position it competitively within the Ashford property market. The website’s integration with Homeflow CMS and use of analytics tools indicate a data-driven approach to customer engagement and service delivery. No direct parent or subsidiary companies are identified, suggesting independent operation.

Security posture

The website maintains a baseline security posture with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent implemented, indicating awareness of privacy regulations such as GDPR. However, the lack of explicit security headers like X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and a non-empty Content-Security-Policy header represents a moderate security gap. No evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries was found in the HTML content. The site uses Google reCAPTCHA for form protection, enhancing defense against automated abuse. Incident response and security policy documentation are not publicly available, which could be improved to demonstrate security maturity. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could benefit from enhancements to headers and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a comprehensive Content-Security-Policy header to mitigate cross-site scripting and related attacks.
  2. Add security headers such as X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to strengthen browser security.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible to users to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to avoid vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance contact information visibility and provide dedicated security contact channels.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Homeflow platform, utilizing modern JavaScript frameworks and libraries including React components and Leaflet for mapping. It integrates multimedia content via Vimeo and uses Google Analytics and Tag Manager for tracking and analytics. The site is mobile-optimized and includes accessibility considerations, though some improvements could be made. Performance is moderate with asynchronous script loading and lazy loading of images. The absence of detailed hosting information limits assessment of infrastructure robustness. Overall, the technical implementation supports a functional and user-friendly real estate portal with room for security and performance optimizations.
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.
