Risk levelHigh

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

Langford Rae Property Agents is a small, family-owned independent estate agency established in 1986, specializing in residential property sales, lettings, land sales, acquisitions, and new homes primarily in the Bromley, Bexley, and Sevenoaks areas of the UK. The company emphasizes a five-star personalized service and has a strong local market presence supported by client testimonials and social media engagement. The website is professionally designed using modern web technologies such as Next.js and React, offering a good user experience with mobile optimization and clear navigation. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, though security headers and incident response information are lacking. Privacy compliance is limited due to missing explicit privacy and cookie policies. The domain WHOIS data is unavailable due to a registration error, which impacts domain trustworthiness but does not detract from the business legitimacy evident in the website content and branding.

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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: PostgreSQL

      Port 5432 (PostgreSQL) is publicly accessible - PostgreSQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to PostgreSQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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"

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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

  3. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

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 · found on this site
  • 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

Langford Rae operates in the real estate sector with a focus on residential property services. Their business model centers on direct client engagement through sales, lettings, and valuations. The company targets local property buyers, sellers, landlords, tenants, and developers. Their competitive advantage lies in their long-standing local presence, family ownership, and commitment to high-quality service. The website integrates analytics tools like Google Analytics and Plausible for performance and user insights. The absence of a valid WHOIS record for the exact domain suggests reliance on a subdomain or alternate domain for hosting, which should be clarified for trust. No partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the data.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive data. However, the lack of security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security maturity. There is no visible security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy, and no incident response contacts are provided. Privacy compliance is partial, with no clear cookie consent mechanism or privacy policy detected, which could pose compliance risks under GDPR. The domain registration inconsistency is a concern for trust but does not directly impact website security. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be improved with additional headers, policies, and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit GDPR compliance and user consent mechanisms.
  2. Add security headers including Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance protection.
  3. Publish a security.txt file and provide clear incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Clarify domain registration and hosting details to resolve WHOIS inconsistencies and improve trustworthiness.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure minimal user tracking and compliance with privacy standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React and Next.js stack, leveraging advanced frontend technologies for performance and responsiveness. It uses ApexCharts and Slick Carousel for interactive UI components. The site is mobile-optimized with good accessibility and SEO practices evident from meta tags and structured data. Performance is moderate, likely due to rich media content and animations. No major technical debt or deprecated libraries were detected. Hosting provider details are not explicit, but the site uses estate-track.co.uk subdomain resources. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and user-friendly experience with room for security and privacy 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.
