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

Resort Brokers Asia Pacific Pty Ltd operates a professional and well-established real estate brokerage website specializing in the sale and lease of management rights, motels, caravan parks, hotels, and other accommodation properties across Australia. The company positions itself as the nation's longest established specialist in this niche, targeting investors and buyers interested in accommodation sector properties. The website is rich in content, well-branded, and provides extensive resources, testimonials, and contact options to support its business model. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Google Tag Manager, Bootstrap framework, and Google reCAPTCHA for form security. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices and a professional design, although some security headers are missing. The site uses HTTPS with an excellent SSL configuration, ensuring secure data transmission. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates good practices such as HTTPS enforcement and CAPTCHA protection on forms but lacks explicit security headers and a cookie consent mechanism, which are recommended for enhanced security and privacy compliance. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. WHOIS data is unavailable due to privacy restrictions, but the domain and website content align with a legitimate Australian business. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with strong business credibility and technical maturity. Strategic improvements in security headers and privacy consent mechanisms would further enhance its security posture and compliance standing.

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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

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

Resort Brokers holds a leading market position in the Australian accommodation property brokerage sector, specializing in management rights and related property types. Their business model focuses on brokerage services, property appraisals, and educational resources targeting investors and buyers. The company leverages a multi-channel approach including a comprehensive website, social media presence, and industry events. The firm has a medium-sized operational scale with a history dating back to 1985, indicating stability and experience. Partnerships with digital agencies like SeventyTwo Digital support their online presence. The company’s revenue streams likely include commissions from property sales and leases. The target customer segments are investors, property buyers, and sellers within Australia’s hospitality real estate market.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms from automated abuse. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents an area for improvement. No signs of exposed credentials, malware, or phishing were found. Privacy policies and terms of service are present but lack explicit incident response or data protection officer contact information. Cookie consent mechanisms are not implemented, which may affect GDPR compliance. Overall, the site is secure for general use but would benefit from enhanced header security and privacy compliance measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance with standards and user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack with Bootstrap for responsive design, Google Fonts via Typekit, and lazy loading for images to optimize performance. Analytics and marketing tools include Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Facebook Pixel, indicating a data-driven approach to user engagement. The site is mobile-optimized with good navigation and SEO metadata. However, no CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts. Technical debt appears low, but improvements in security headers and privacy mechanisms are recommended to reduce risk and enhance compliance.
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.
