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. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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 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';…

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

Karkanja Ltd. holds a solid position as a local real estate developer in Malta and Gozo, leveraging direct sales and a comprehensive online property locator. Their business model centers on property development and sales, targeting both local and international buyers. The company benefits from a consistent brand image and active social media presence. While no direct contact emails or phone numbers are explicitly listed on the homepage, the site provides physical office addresses and a contact form. The inclusion of government schemes and financing options suggests a customer-centric approach. The website's integration with multiple marketing and analytics tools supports data-driven business decisions and customer engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent compliance, and absence of exposed sensitive data. However, it lacks visible security headers and formal security or incident response policies. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present, which could enhance transparency and trust. The use of third-party scripts and tracking pixels introduces potential risk vectors that require regular monitoring. Overall, the security maturity is moderate, suitable for the business type but with opportunities for strengthening compliance and incident readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  2. Add incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance HTTP security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, etc.) to improve protection.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.3.5, utilizing a range of modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery, Leaflet.js for maps, Select2 for enhanced select inputs, and Slick Slider for carousels. It integrates Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and AddThis for marketing and analytics. The site uses LiteSpeed Cache for performance optimization. The design is responsive and mobile-friendly, with good SEO metadata and structured data (JSON-LD) for enhanced search engine understanding. Performance is moderate, with deferred loading of scripts and optimized CSS. Accessibility is basic but functional. Hosting provider details are not explicitly disclosed in the HTML content.
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.
