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.

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

Sobha Realty operates in the luxury real estate sector in the UAE, with a business model centered on property development and sales. The company targets high-net-worth individuals and investors seeking premium residential properties. Its market position is strong, supported by a consistent brand and extensive property portfolio showcased on the website. The use of multiple marketing and analytics tools suggests a data-driven approach to customer engagement and lead generation. The absence of privacy protection in WHOIS and the domain age support the company's established presence since 2018. No suspicious domains or partners were identified, indicating a focused and controlled digital ecosystem.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS and anti-clickjacking scripts. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended best practice for domain security. The site lacks a security.txt file and explicit vulnerability disclosure policy, which could improve transparency and incident response readiness. Multiple third-party tracking scripts increase the attack surface and require ongoing monitoring for vulnerabilities. No exposed sensitive data or critical vulnerabilities were detected in the HTML content. Security headers are partially implemented but could be enhanced with Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options headers. Overall, the security posture is good but has room for improvement to meet higher compliance standards.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement a security.txt file to provide clear vulnerability disclosure and incident response contacts.
  3. Add additional security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and tracking pixels to minimize vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider publishing a terms of service page to clarify user agreements and legal protections.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal CMS with a modern tech stack including jQuery, intl-tel-input, and lazysizes for performance optimization. It uses Cloudflare for DNS services and GoDaddy as the registrar. The site loads multiple analytics and marketing scripts asynchronously to optimize performance. Mobile optimization and accessibility are well addressed, with responsive images and ARIA labels. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, canonical URLs, and structured JSON-LD data for organization and local business. Performance is moderate, likely due to multiple external scripts, but overall user experience is smooth. Technical risks include reliance on many third-party scripts and lack of DNSSEC. The site is professionally maintained with no visible technical debt or errors.
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.
