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

Property and Change Solutions LTD (PACS) is a UK-based company specializing in integrated workplace management systems (IWMS) software and advisory services for real estate and facilities management organizations. The company positions itself as a provider of advanced business analytics and IWMS solutions designed to optimize portfolio management, service delivery, financial management, supply chain, risk, and environmental management. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand with clear messaging targeting real estate and facilities management professionals. Technically, the website is built on the MultiscreenSite platform, leveraging modern web technologies including jQuery, Google Analytics, Snowplow Analytics, and service workers for PWA capabilities. The site is hosted on a reputable CDN provider, uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration, and demonstrates good performance and mobile optimization. SEO and accessibility are implemented at a basic to good level. From a security perspective, the site shows strengths such as HTTPS enforcement, service worker usage, and ISO 27001 certification display. However, it lacks explicit security headers and visible security or incident response policies. Privacy compliance is basic, with a cookie notification and privacy policy present but no GDPR-specific statements or data protection officer contact. Contact information is limited to a contact form and LinkedIn link, with no direct emails or phone numbers visible. Overall, PACS presents a credible and professional online presence with a solid technical foundation and moderate security posture. Enhancements in explicit security policies, contact transparency, and privacy compliance would further strengthen 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

8 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

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      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
      • 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

PACS operates in the Real Estate sector, focusing on software solutions and advisory services for facilities and portfolio management. Their business model centers on providing integrated IWMS software that streamlines service management, financial oversight, supply chain, risk, and environmental compliance. The company targets medium to large real estate and facilities management organizations seeking to improve operational efficiency and strategic value. Their market position is supported by ISO 27001 certification and client testimonials, indicating a focus on quality and trust. The website content and navigation suggest a mature business with a clear service portfolio and a growing digital presence, including social media engagement via LinkedIn. No parent or subsidiary companies are identified, indicating an independent operation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enabled and a valid SSL certificate. The presence of ISO 27001 certification indicates organizational commitment to information security management. The use of service workers and CAPTCHA keys for forms shows attention to modern security practices. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a gap that could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact reduces transparency and preparedness perception. Privacy compliance is basic, with cookie consent but no detailed GDPR compliance statements or data protection officer contact. Overall, the site is secure but could improve in policy transparency and header implementation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish explicit security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Create and publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Enhance privacy compliance by adding GDPR-specific statements and providing contact details for a Data Protection Officer or privacy contact.
  4. Add a terms of service page to clarify user agreements and legal protections.
  5. Increase visible contact information on the website, including verified company emails and phone numbers, to improve trust and user engagement.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern, custom CMS platform (MultiscreenSite) with a well-structured runtime environment. It uses current versions of jQuery and integrates multiple analytics platforms including Google Analytics and Snowplow. The site supports PWA features via service workers, enhancing offline capabilities and performance. Hosting is via a reputable CDN provider, contributing to fast load times and global availability. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and uses modern web fonts and SVG icons for scalability and aesthetics. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph data, and structured JSON-LD. Accessibility is basic but could be improved with more ARIA roles and keyboard navigation support. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid with opportunities for enhancement in accessibility and security headers.
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.
