Risk levelHigh

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

REALTY EXPERTS is a small real estate brokerage focused on the Fremont, California area, providing residential, commercial, and land property listings along with related services such as home valuation and mortgage information. The website is professionally designed with good content quality, clear navigation, and multiple lead capture forms to engage potential clients. The technical infrastructure is based on Drupal CMS with common real estate web technologies including jQuery, Google reCAPTCHA, and accessibility widgets. While the site uses HTTPS and includes bot protection, it employs an outdated jQuery version and lacks explicit security headers, which are areas for improvement. Privacy compliance is basic with a privacy policy and terms of service present but no cookie consent mechanism detected. Overall, the site is trustworthy and legitimate, with consistent WHOIS data and clear business information.

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

7 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  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

The company operates as a local real estate agency targeting home buyers and sellers in Fremont and surrounding California areas. Its business model centers on brokerage services and property listings, leveraging MLS data and providing additional visitor tools and reports. The presence of multiple agents and detailed property listings indicates an active market presence. The website's partnership with MLSListings and other real estate data providers supports its credibility. The company emphasizes personalized service and client-first approach, positioning itself as a trusted local expert. Growth opportunities may include enhanced digital marketing and improved security and privacy compliance to meet evolving regulatory requirements.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enabled and integration of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms from bots. However, the use of an outdated jQuery version introduces potential vulnerabilities. The absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces the overall security robustness. No incident response or security policy information is provided, indicating limited transparency in security governance. Privacy compliance is basic, lacking cookie consent mechanisms and GDPR-specific disclosures. The site should prioritize updating libraries, implementing security headers, and enhancing privacy controls to reduce risk and improve user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Update jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to current secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner and enhance privacy policy to explicitly address GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  4. Develop and publish a security policy and incident response plan to improve transparency and preparedness.
  5. Regularly audit website security and privacy compliance to maintain trust and reduce risk exposure.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal CMS with a technology stack including jQuery 1.12.4, Google reCAPTCHA, Nivo Slider, and jCarousel for UI components. The site loads scripts asynchronously and defers non-critical JavaScript to improve performance. Mobile optimization and accessibility are addressed via responsive design and UserWay widget integration. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. However, the use of older JavaScript libraries and lack of modern security headers indicate technical debt. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. The site benefits from structured data and clear navigation but should modernize its tech stack and security posture to align with best practices.
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.
