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

Knight Frank is a leading international real estate agency with a strong presence in Italy, offering a wide range of residential and commercial property services including sales, management, valuation, and investment advisory. The website is professionally designed, content-rich, and targets high-net-worth individuals and investors seeking luxury properties. Technically, the site uses a custom CMS with modern JavaScript libraries and includes Google reCAPTCHA for form security. Privacy and cookie policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant. Security posture is good with HTTPS and form validation, though security headers and incident response information could be improved. WHOIS data is unavailable in the raw output, which is unusual but the website's branding and external references support legitimacy. Overall, the site is trustworthy, professional, and well-optimized for users.

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

2 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. 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 in the real estate sector, focusing on luxury residential and commercial properties. Founded in 1896, it has a large market presence and offers services globally. The business model centers on property brokerage, management, and consultancy, targeting affluent clients and investors. The website supports multiple languages and regions, indicating a broad international strategy. The company maintains active social media channels and provides detailed property listings, enhancing customer engagement and market reach.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses Google reCAPTCHA to protect contact forms from spam. Form validation is implemented client-side. However, no explicit security headers were detected in the provided data, and there is no visible security or incident response policy page. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the analysis. The security score is good but could be enhanced by adding security headers, publishing incident response contacts, and implementing a security.txt file for vulnerability disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page with contact information for reporting security issues.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries for vulnerabilities and update them accordingly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom CMS platform (KnightFrank.OneCms.Europe) with modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery, Slick Slider, and TagCommander for tag management. Google reCAPTCHA v2 invisible is integrated for form security. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO practices including meta tags and alternate language links. Performance is moderate, with some external dependencies. Accessibility is basic and could be improved. No hosting provider information was identified from the data. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and user-friendly experience but has room for security and accessibility enhancements.
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.
