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.

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

  • SSL/TLS: did not complete in this scan.
  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • Email security: did not complete in this scan.
  • DNS health: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

PortugalProperty.com operates in the real estate sector, focusing on the Portuguese market. Its business model centers on property brokerage, including sales, rentals, and commercial properties, supported by finance and legal advisory services. The affiliation with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices provides a competitive advantage and brand recognition. The site targets international and local property buyers, offering multi-language support to broaden its reach. Revenue streams likely include commissions from property transactions and related services. The presence of new developments and luxury collections indicates a focus on high-value market segments. The company demonstrates growth potential through digital marketing, partnerships, and a comprehensive online property search platform.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with mandatory HTTPS encryption and cookie consent management. The absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. No exposed sensitive information or vulnerable libraries were identified in the HTML content. The presence of CSRF tokens in forms indicates secure input handling. However, the lack of a published security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. Compliance with GDPR is partially indicated by cookie consent but lacks full documentation. Overall, the security maturity is moderate with room for enhancement in policy publication and header implementation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the website footer or main navigation.
  2. Implement and configure security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Establish and publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

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.
