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

The business operates in the real estate sector, targeting residential and commercial property markets in the Philippines. It leverages the global Knight Frank brand for market credibility and offers a wide array of services that cover the entire property lifecycle from sales and leasing to asset and facilities management. The website links to multiple Knight Frank global domains, indicating a strong partnership and brand consistency. The absence of direct phone or email contacts on the homepage suggests a preference for controlled contact via forms, possibly for lead management. The company appears to be large and established, with a focus on professional service delivery and market insights through reports and research publications. The digital presence supports a business model reliant on consultancy, brokerage, and property management fees.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and the use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect contact forms from spam and abuse. No sensitive data is exposed in the HTML source. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options is a minor gap. There is no published security policy or incident response contact information, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. The site complies with privacy regulations, indicating good data protection practices. Overall, the security risks are low, but there is room for improvement in formalizing security policies and headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact details to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards and improve user experience for all users.
  5. Consider adding direct verified contact information such as phone numbers or emails for customer support to improve trust and accessibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on ASP.NET WebForms technology, integrated with modern fonts and JavaScript libraries including jQuery and Google reCAPTCHA. It uses TagCommander and TrustCommander for tag management and privacy compliance. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO meta tags and structured navigation. Performance is moderate, with some reliance on external CDNs for scripts and fonts. The CMS is identified as Knight Frank OneCMS, indicating a proprietary or specialized content management system. There is no explicit hosting provider identified from the HTML content. The technical stack is stable but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security headers. Overall, the infrastructure supports a professional real estate service website with adequate performance and usability.
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.
