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

KV.EE is a leading Estonian real estate portal offering a wide range of property listings including apartments, houses, land, and commercial spaces for sale and rent. The website targets Estonian property buyers, sellers, and renters, positioning itself as the first and foremost real estate portal in Estonia. The business model revolves around providing an online marketplace and listing service for real estate, supported by RSS feeds and categorized property types. Technically, the site employs standard web technologies such as HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and uses popular fonts and icon libraries. The design is professional and mobile-optimized, providing a good user experience and clear navigation. However, the site lacks visible advanced frameworks or CMS identification and shows moderate performance.

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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

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

KV.EE holds a strong market position in Estonia's real estate sector as a primary portal for property listings. Its competitive advantage lies in its comprehensive property categories and user-friendly interface. The business likely generates revenue through listing fees or advertising. The target customer segments include individual buyers, renters, and real estate professionals. The absence of explicit privacy and security policies suggests an opportunity for improvement in compliance and trust. The partnership ecosystem is not explicitly detailed, but external domains indicate possible image hosting and font services. The company appears established with consistent WHOIS data aligning with its business claims.

Security posture

The website currently exhibits a basic security posture with no detected security headers or explicit security policies. HTTPS usage is assumed but not confirmed from the provided data. There is no evidence of vulnerability disclosure mechanisms or incident response contacts, which are critical for mature security management. The lack of privacy and cookie policies also indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security maturity is low to moderate, with significant room for improvement in policy transparency and technical safeguards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact channels (e.g., security@ or abuse@ emails).
  4. Conduct a security audit to verify SSL/TLS configuration and ensure HTTPS enforcement across the site.
  5. Integrate analytics and tracking with privacy-compliant consent mechanisms to improve marketing insights while respecting user privacy.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a clean and modern front-end stack with standard HTML5 and CSS3, enhanced by Google Fonts and Font Awesome icons. The site is mobile-optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and structured content. However, no advanced JavaScript frameworks or CMS platforms were identified, suggesting a custom or lightweight implementation. Performance is moderate, with preconnect hints for external resources indicating some optimization efforts. The absence of visible analytics or tracking scripts may limit marketing intelligence. Technical debt appears low, but the lack of security headers and privacy policies indicates areas for modernization and compliance enhancement.
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.
