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

Simply 2 Let Limited is a small, established property letting and management company based in Great Yarmouth, UK. The company provides dedicated services to landlords and tenants, focusing on local lettings and property management. Their website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear contact details and service descriptions. The business appears to have been founded around 2017, aligning with the website's published content dates. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using common plugins such as Contact Form 7 and Cookie Consent, with integration of Google Maps API for location services. The site is mobile-optimized and demonstrates good SEO practices, although accessibility features are basic. Performance is moderate with no major technical issues detected. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and includes a cookie consent mechanism, but lacks important security headers and explicit security or incident response policies. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the content. The absence of WHOIS registration data is a significant concern, impacting the overall trustworthiness of the domain. Overall, the website is functional and professional but would benefit from improved security practices and verification of domain registration to enhance trust and compliance.

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 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';…

  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

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

Simply 2 Let Limited operates in the Real Estate sector, targeting landlords and tenants in the Great Yarmouth area. Their business model centers on providing letting and property management services, supplemented by a landlord advertising service. The company maintains a local market position with a small business size. Revenue streams likely derive from property management fees and advertising services. The website shows no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries beyond a web design partner. Growth indicators include regular property listings and updated content. Strategic observations suggest a focus on local market penetration and service quality.

Security posture

The current security posture is moderate. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent is implemented, indicating awareness of privacy compliance. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, limiting transparency and readiness. The absence of WHOIS data raises concerns about domain legitimacy. Overall, the security maturity level is basic, suitable for a small business but requiring enhancements to meet higher compliance standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement essential security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options) to improve protection against web vulnerabilities.
  2. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure transparency and trustworthiness.
  3. Publish a dedicated privacy policy page and terms of service to enhance compliance and user trust.
  4. Establish an incident response contact or security policy page to improve security posture and readiness.
  5. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate risks from known vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses WordPress CMS with standard plugins including Contact Form 7 for forms and a cookie consent plugin for privacy compliance. It integrates Google Maps API for location services and uses jQuery and Font Awesome for UI elements. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO metadata and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance is moderate, with no critical technical debt observed. However, the absence of security headers and incomplete WHOIS data represent technical risks. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Overall, the technical infrastructure is adequate for a small local business but could be improved with enhanced security configurations and domain management.
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.
