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

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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';…

  3. 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

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

Knight Frank India operates in the real estate sector, targeting property buyers, investors, and commercial clients. Their business model focuses on consultancy, property transactions, valuations, and project management. The company leverages its global network to maintain a competitive advantage and offers a broad range of services. The website's content and linked domains confirm a strong partnership ecosystem and a consistent brand message. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the site suggests a preference for controlled communication channels via contact forms and account portals. The presence of extensive research and reports indicates a data-driven approach to market insights, enhancing credibility and client engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS, form validation, and Google reCAPTCHA integration. However, explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not published, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. Security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options are not detected, representing potential areas for strengthening defenses against common web attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the analysis. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but could benefit from formalized policies and additional technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  2. Add Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options HTTP headers to improve security against common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

The site is mobile responsive with good SEO practices including meta tags and structured navigation. Performance is moderate, with opportunities to optimize loading times further.

Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable web presence suitable for a large enterprise real estate consultancy.
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.
