Risk levelLow

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

Kal Sangra Shonki Brothers is a well-established real estate agency based in Leicester, UK, specializing in property auctions, sales, lettings, and commercial property services. The company emphasizes a customer-first approach and boasts over 100 years of combined experience. Their market position is strong locally, supported by awards and commendations. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear navigation and relevant content targeting property buyers, sellers, landlords, and tenants. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies including service workers for PWA capabilities and is hosted on a reliable CDN infrastructure. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place, though explicit security headers and privacy policies are lacking. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain raises some concerns about domain registration transparency, but the overall business credibility remains high based on website content and social media presence.

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

3 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.

    • 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

  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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • High

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 7 days

      What to do: Renew SSL certificate before expiration

      • NIS2 21(2)(h)
      • IR 2024/2690 9.2(c): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 9.2(c): Cryptography
      • NIST SC-17: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-17: Public Key Infrastructure Certificates

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 in the real estate sector, focusing on auctions, sales, lettings, and commercial property services. Their business model revolves around providing comprehensive property services to a local audience in Leicester. The firm leverages digital channels including social media and live video streaming for auctions, indicating a modern approach to customer engagement. The presence of awards and accreditations enhances their competitive advantage. The website's integration with external auction platforms and valuation services suggests a partnership ecosystem that supports their operations. Growth indicators include a large portfolio of sold properties and active auction events. Strategic observations highlight the need for improved transparency in domain registration and enhanced privacy compliance documentation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and service workers registered for progressive web app functionality. Cookie consent is implemented, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents a gap in defense-in-depth strategies. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms limits the organization's readiness for security incidents and transparency. Compliance with GDPR is implied but not explicitly documented, which could pose regulatory risks.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and terms of service pages to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Add and verify security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance security posture.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data to improve domain registration transparency and trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack including JavaScript, CSS, HTML5, and uses service workers for offline and PWA capabilities. It leverages third-party widgets from Elfsight and uses FontAwesome and Google Fonts for styling. Hosting is via AWS Cloudfront CDN, ensuring good content delivery performance. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good navigation clarity. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph data, and structured JSON-LD schema. Accessibility features are basic but present. Performance is moderate, with some opportunities for optimization. No major technical debt or deprecated libraries were detected.
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.
