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

Naylors is a leading independent commercial property consultancy based in the North East of the United Kingdom, specializing in a wide range of real estate services including agency and development, property and facilities management, occupier services, professional services, investment and asset management, and building consultancy. The company positions itself as a trusted advisor with deep regional knowledge and national reach, serving commercial property clients seeking to maximize the value of their assets. The website reflects a professional and comprehensive digital presence with clear navigation, rich content, and strong branding consistency. Technically, the website employs a modern technology stack including jQuery, Bootstrap 5, Select2, Swiper, and AOS for animations, alongside Google Analytics for user tracking. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, with proper meta tags and structured data enhancing search visibility. Cookie consent mechanisms and privacy policies demonstrate compliance with GDPR and privacy regulations. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and employs cookie consent banners, but lacks explicit security headers and a public security or incident response policy. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The WHOIS lookup for the queried domain 'www.naylors.co.uk' failed due to an invalid domain format, but the actual domain 'naylors.co.uk' is active and legitimate, indicating no immediate trust concerns. Overall, Naylors' website presents a secure, professional, and user-friendly platform that supports its business objectives effectively. Strategic improvements in security headers and public security policies could further enhance trust and compliance.

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. 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

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. 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';…

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

Naylors operates in the commercial real estate sector with a focus on the North East UK market. Its competitive advantage lies in its regional expertise combined with a broad service portfolio covering agency, management, investment, and consultancy. The business model centers on providing advisory and transactional services to commercial property owners, occupiers, and investors. Revenue streams likely include commissions, management fees, and consultancy charges. The target customers are commercial property stakeholders in the region. The presence of client testimonials and RICS certification strengthens credibility. Partnerships such as with The Commercial Property Network expand market reach. The company demonstrates stable market positioning with potential for growth through digital engagement and service diversification.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security represents an area for improvement. No signs of exposed credentials, vulnerable libraries, or insecure forms were found. The lack of a public security policy or incident response contact limits transparency and preparedness communication. Overall, the security measures are adequate for the business type but could be enhanced to meet higher standards and regulatory expectations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Add a security.txt file at the root domain to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and responsible reporting.
  4. Include data protection officer contact details or GDPR compliance statements to enhance privacy transparency.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities or outdated components are present.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a solid technical foundation using widely adopted JavaScript libraries and frameworks such as jQuery, Bootstrap 5, Select2, Swiper, and AOS for UI/UX enhancements. Google Analytics is integrated for traffic analysis. The site is mobile responsive and accessible, with good SEO practices including meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) for organization information. Performance is moderate, with potential optimization in image loading and script management. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not evident from the content. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional and user-friendly experience with room for performance tuning and security hardening.
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.
