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 Hungary operates within the real estate sector, focusing on commercial property services in Hungary. Its business model centers on providing high-quality advisory and brokerage services to tenants, landlords, and investors. The company benefits from its affiliation with the global Knight Frank brand, enhancing its market position and access to international clients. The website's content and linked domains demonstrate a broad partnership ecosystem within the Knight Frank global network. The firm targets corporate clients seeking office space, investment opportunities, and project management solutions. Growth indicators include active publication of market research reports and featured property listings. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the site suggests a preference for controlled contact via forms, possibly to manage lead quality.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL configuration, ensuring encrypted communications. Google reCAPTCHA integration on the contact form mitigates spam and automated abuse. Cookie consent banners comply with GDPR requirements, reflecting awareness of privacy regulations. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or Strict-Transport-Security represents an area for improvement. No incident response or security contact information is published, which could hinder vulnerability reporting and incident management. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by adopting additional best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to strengthen defense against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and provide a clear incident response contact email (e.g., security@knightfrank.hu).
  3. Add a security.txt file at the root domain to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Consider providing direct company contact phone numbers and emails to improve user trust and accessibility.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure compliance with privacy regulations and minimize user tracking.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Knight Frank's proprietary OneCMS platform, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Slick Slider for UI components. Google reCAPTCHA is used for form security, and TagCommander manages marketing tags and tracking pixels. The site is served over HTTPS with good SSL configuration, and fonts are preloaded for performance optimization. Mobile navigation and search features are implemented, indicating attention to responsive design. Performance is moderate, with some external dependencies that could impact load times. Accessibility features are basic, with room for improvement in ARIA roles and keyboard navigation. SEO is supported by meta tags, canonical links, and structured navigation. Overall, the technical infrastructure is stable and modern but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and performance tuning.
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.
