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

Pali is a UK-based, multi-award winning national conveyancing search provider specializing in delivering accurate and cost-effective conveyancing searches and reports. The company targets conveyancers and legal professionals within the UK real estate sector, offering a one-stop shop for conveyancing search services. The website is built on WordPress using the Divi theme and Gravity Forms, hosted on Hetzner infrastructure, reflecting a moderate level of technical maturity with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer protections in place, but lacks advanced security headers and explicit security policies. Privacy compliance is weak due to absence of privacy and cookie policies, and no explicit contact information or incident response channels are provided on the site. Overall, the domain age and registration data support the legitimacy of the business. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance, security headers, and contact transparency would enhance trust and security posture.

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

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

    • 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

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.

Business context

Business profile

Pali operates in the UK real estate sector as a specialized service provider for conveyancing searches and reports. Its multi-award winning status and national reach position it as a reputable player in its niche. The business model focuses on providing comprehensive conveyancing search services to legal professionals, likely generating revenue through service fees. The website content and metadata emphasize accuracy, speed, and cost-effectiveness, appealing to conveyancers seeking reliable search providers. The company appears to be a small-sized entity founded in 2004, with no parent or subsidiary companies identified. The lack of explicit contact details on the website may limit direct customer engagement but the brand consistency and professional presentation support market credibility.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and domain registration protections such as clientTransferProhibited and clientUpdateProhibited statuses, which are positive security indicators. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces the overall security robustness. No evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries was found, and forms appear to be managed via Gravity Forms, a reputable WordPress plugin. The lack of a published security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates limited transparency in security governance. Enhancing these areas would improve compliance with GDPR and NIS2 requirements and strengthen incident readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve DNS security.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance and consent mechanisms.
  4. Add explicit contact information including security incident response and abuse contacts to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and scripts to minimize vulnerability exposure.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using the Divi theme and Gravity Forms plugin, indicating a common and well-supported CMS platform. Hosting is provided by Hetzner, a reputable European hosting provider. The site includes modern SEO meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) for enhanced search engine visibility. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness and basic accessibility features. The technical implementation is solid but could benefit from improved security configurations and enhanced privacy compliance. No critical technical debt or outdated technologies were detected, but ongoing maintenance and security hardening are recommended to sustain operational stability.
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.
