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

The Property & Lifestyle Liverpool Blog is a niche content website focused on Liverpool's real estate market, urban development, and luxury lifestyle. It provides practical guides, market news, case studies, and luxury rental insights targeting real estate investors and lifestyle enthusiasts in Liverpool. The website is well-structured with good content quality and consistent branding but lacks critical compliance elements such as privacy and cookie policies and contact information. Technically, the site uses standard HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is weak due to missing HTTPS confirmation, security headers, and no visible security best practices. The WHOIS data is unavailable due to a domain registration error indicating the domain name is invalid under Nominet UK rules, which raises significant concerns about domain legitimacy and trustworthiness. Overall, the site is accessible and functional but has notable gaps in security, compliance, and business credibility.

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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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 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';…

  3. 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 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.

Technical appendix

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

Business context

Business profile

The website operates as an informational blog serving a small, local market segment focused on Liverpool real estate and lifestyle. It leverages partnerships with related real estate and diagnostic companies, indicating some ecosystem integration. The business model is content-driven without visible monetization or advertising. The lack of contact details and official company information limits transparency and trust. The site targets investors, buyers, and lifestyle consumers interested in Liverpool's property market, providing valuable insights and guides. Growth potential depends on improving compliance, security, and establishing clearer business identity and contact channels.

Security posture

The security maturity level is low due to missing HTTPS confirmation, absence of security headers, and no visible incident response or data protection policies. The lack of privacy and cookie policies indicates non-compliance with GDPR and related regulations. No vulnerability disclosures or security certifications are present. The domain registration inconsistency further undermines trust. The site should prioritize implementing HTTPS, security headers, privacy compliance, and incident response mechanisms to reduce risk and improve security posture.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce HTTPS across the entire website to secure user data and improve trust.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and inform users about data practices.
  3. Add clear contact information including company emails and phone numbers to enhance business credibility.
  4. Configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  5. Resolve domain registration issues or consider re-registering a compliant domain to ensure legitimacy and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a simple technology stack with HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript without detectable CMS or advanced frameworks. The site is mobile optimized with good navigation and SEO meta tags. However, no analytics or tracking scripts were detected, which may limit marketing insights. Performance is moderate with no visible errors or broken elements. The absence of security headers and HTTPS confirmation is a technical risk. The site could benefit from modernizing with a CMS or framework to improve maintainability and adding analytics for business intelligence.
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.
