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

hooox nv is a strategic marketing and communication agency specializing in residential and commercial real estate. Established since 2006, it serves real estate professionals with a broad and unique range of smart services deployable across diverse platforms. The company positions itself as a trusted partner with a strong track record of over 400 successful projects, supported by a professional website showcasing client projects and multimedia content. Technically, the website uses modern technologies including ProcessWire CMS, Uikit framework, Google Tag Manager, and Leadinfo tracking, ensuring a good digital maturity level with mobile optimization and accessibility. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and consent management, though lacking explicit security headers and published security policies. The absence of WHOIS data raises some concerns about domain registration legitimacy, but the overall business credibility and transparency in contact information and policies mitigate this risk. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing incident response information, and verifying domain registration details to strengthen trust.

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

5 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 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
    • High

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 28 days

      What to do: Renew SSL certificate before expiration

      • NIS2 21(2)(h)
      • IR 2024/2690 9.2(c): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 9.2(c): Cryptography
      • NIST SC-17: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-17: Public Key Infrastructure Certificates

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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

hooox operates in the real estate marketing sector, targeting established and emerging real estate developers, investors, and proptech startups primarily in Belgium. Its competitive advantage lies in its specialized expertise, comprehensive service offerings including project communication, lead generation, digital marketing, and stakeholder management, and a strong client portfolio featuring well-known real estate companies. The business model focuses on providing tailored marketing and communication solutions to real estate professionals, leveraging technology and strategic insights. Growth indicators include active social media presence, continuous project showcases, and partnerships with reputable clients. The company maintains a professional brand image and consistent messaging, positioning itself as a market leader in its niche.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, secure form handling, and cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR requirements. However, the lack of visible HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in security governance. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by adopting additional best practices and publishing relevant security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to resolve inconsistencies and enhance legitimacy.
  4. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments to maintain a strong security posture.
  5. Enhance data protection officer visibility or contact details to comply fully with GDPR transparency requirements.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the ProcessWire CMS platform with the Uikit frontend framework, integrating modern web technologies such as asynchronous JavaScript loading, Google Tag Manager for analytics, and Leadinfo for visitor tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. Performance is moderate with multimedia content including videos and SVG graphics. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph data, and structured JSON-LD breadcrumbs. Technical debt appears low, but the absence of explicit security headers and limited hosting provider information suggest areas for infrastructure transparency improvement. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and engaging user 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.
