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. 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 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

    • 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.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Resicert operates in the real estate services sector with a focus on property inspections across Australia. Their business model revolves around service delivery supported by digital booking and quoting platforms. The company leverages certifications and customer testimonials to build trust and maintain a competitive market position. Their partnership ecosystem includes related domains for client portals and franchise licensing. The company targets a broad audience including home buyers, sellers, and property professionals. Growth indicators include a high volume of inspections and positive customer feedback. The website's content and structure reflect a mature digital presence with SEO and marketing integrations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent is implemented with blocking capabilities. The use of security plugins and session keep-alive scripts indicates attention to session management. However, explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options are not evident in the HTML content, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, which is a common gap in SME websites. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could benefit from additional hardening and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve defense against web-based attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and trust.
  3. Regularly audit and update all WordPress plugins and core to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies to reflect evolving regulations and best practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using Bootstrap 3.3.7 for responsive design and jQuery 3.7.1 for interactivity. It integrates multiple third-party plugins for SEO (Yoast), cookie consent, marketing (Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel), and customer support (Zendesk). Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, providing CDN and DNS security benefits. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. The site is mobile responsive and SEO optimized with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Some technical debt is indicated by older Bootstrap and Font Awesome versions. The site uses embedded forms from Ontraport and Wufoo for bookings and quotes, indicating reliance on external SaaS for lead capture. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could be modernized for improved performance and security.
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.
