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

HP Property operates as a UK-based real estate platform specializing in property listings for sale and rent. The website offers users the ability to search for homes by various criteria including price, bedrooms, and amenities, targeting home buyers and renters primarily in the UK market. The business appears to be a small-sized entity founded in 2017, with a focus on providing detailed property information and featured listings to its audience. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Houzez theme and related plugins, leveraging Bootstrap and jQuery for frontend functionality. The site is hosted by Fasthosts Internet Ltd, a reputable hosting provider. The website demonstrates good mobile optimization and SEO practices, though performance is moderate and accessibility features are basic. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses secure forms but lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options. There is no visible privacy or cookie policy, which is a compliance gap, and the Google Analytics plugin is installed but not configured, indicating incomplete analytics deployment. No incident response or security policy information is provided. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy for its business domain but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance, improved security headers, and full analytics configuration to strengthen its security posture and regulatory adherence.

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.

Priority findings

8 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

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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

HP Property positions itself as a niche real estate service provider focusing on UK residential properties for sale and rent. Its competitive advantage lies in detailed property listings with features such as sales history and amenities filtering. The business model is brokerage and listing-based, targeting individual home buyers, renters, and investors. Revenue likely derives from property listing fees or commissions. The company maintains a consistent brand presence with a clear market focus but lacks visible certifications or trust badges that could enhance credibility. The absence of social media links and limited contact information may restrict broader customer engagement and partnership opportunities.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and secure form handling. However, the absence of critical security headers and lack of visible privacy and cookie policies indicate gaps in security best practices and regulatory compliance. The unconfigured Google Analytics plugin suggests incomplete data governance. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Incident response readiness is not evident due to missing contact channels for security issues. To improve, the organization should implement security headers, publish privacy and cookie policies, configure analytics properly, and establish clear incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Configure Google Analytics properly or remove the plugin if not in use to avoid incomplete data collection.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  4. Provide clear incident response contact information (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email addresses) to improve security communication.
  5. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate risks from known vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress infrastructure using the Houzez theme tailored for real estate businesses. It employs Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for interactive elements. The site loads Google Fonts and LayerSlider for enhanced UI/UX. Hosting is provided by Fasthosts Internet Ltd, a reputable UK hosting provider. Performance is moderate, with good mobile optimization but basic accessibility features. SEO is supported by Yoast SEO plugin with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) for enhanced search engine understanding. Technical debt appears low, but improvements in security headers and analytics configuration are needed to reduce operational risks.
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.
