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

Knight Frank is a leading global private real estate consultancy with a strong presence in Spain and worldwide. The company offers a wide range of commercial and residential property services, including capital markets, valuations, tenant representation, and ESG consulting. Their website reflects a mature digital presence with professional design, clear navigation, and comprehensive content tailored to property owners, investors, and corporate clients. Technically, the site uses modern JavaScript libraries, a proprietary CMS, and implements security best practices such as HTTPS and Google reCAPTCHA on forms. Privacy and cookie policies are clearly presented with consent mechanisms, indicating good GDPR compliance. However, WHOIS data is unavailable due to .es domain registry restrictions, but the overall trustworthiness remains high based on brand reputation and website professionalism.

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. 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';…
  2. 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.

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  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 operates as a private partnership in the real estate sector, targeting high-net-worth individuals, corporate tenants, developers, and investors. With over 125 years of history and 30 years in Spain, it holds a strong market position as a premium consultancy. The business model focuses on advisory and brokerage services across commercial and residential markets, supported by a global network of offices. The company leverages digital channels including blogs, research reports, podcasts, and social media to engage its audience and maintain thought leadership. The website's multilingual and multi-regional structure supports its international footprint. Strategic partnerships and internal systems like trackpeople.es enhance operational efficiency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of Google reCAPTCHA to prevent spam on contact forms, and input validation mechanisms. While explicit security headers like CSP or X-Frame-Options are not clearly detected, the site avoids exposing sensitive data or vulnerable libraries. No known vulnerabilities or security incidents are evident from the content. The absence of a public security policy or incident response contact is a minor gap. Overall, the site aligns with industry best practices for a corporate real estate consultancy, but could improve by publishing explicit security policies and enhancing header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust with users.
  3. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies regularly to stay compliant with evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern JavaScript stack with libraries such as jQuery and Slick Carousel for UI components. It uses Google reCAPTCHA for bot protection and TagCommander for tag management and marketing. The CMS appears to be a proprietary or custom solution (OneCms) tailored for multilingual and multi-regional content delivery. Performance is moderate with preloading of fonts and asynchronous script loading. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design and mobile navigation menus. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, canonical links, and structured navigation. Technical risks are minimal but could be reduced by improving security headers and accessibility compliance.
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.
