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

UMH Properties operates as a well-established real estate business specializing in manufactured home sales and rentals within land-lease communities primarily in the Northeastern United States. With a history dating back to 1968 and a domain registered since 1995, the company presents itself as a large regional player offering affordable housing solutions with competitive financing and a broad portfolio of over 106 communities and 19,000 homes. The website reflects a professional digital presence with good content quality, clear branding, and consistent messaging aligned with its business model. Technically, the website is built on WordPress and leverages modern web technologies including Yoast SEO for optimization, Google Maps API for location services, and CookieYes for cookie consent management. Accessibility tools such as User1st are implemented, enhancing usability for diverse users. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices, though some improvements in security headers and DNSSEC could enhance the technical posture. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and employs domain transfer protection, but lacks DNSSEC and explicit security headers in the provided data. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Privacy compliance is partial, with cookie consent mechanisms present but no explicit privacy policy or terms of service pages found in the analyzed content. Contact information is not explicitly available in the provided HTML snippet, which could impact user trust and compliance. Overall, UMH Properties demonstrates a solid business and technical foundation with room for improvement in privacy disclosures and security hardening. Strategic recommendations include publishing comprehensive privacy and security policies, enabling DNSSEC, and adding security headers to strengthen 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

2 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.

  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

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

UMH Properties holds a strong market position in the affordable manufactured housing sector, targeting consumers seeking cost-effective home ownership or rentals in land-lease communities. The business model focuses on sales, rentals, and financing, supported by a large inventory and regional footprint. The company benefits from long-term domain ownership and consistent branding, which supports customer trust. The website's integration of SEO and accessibility tools indicates a mature digital marketing approach. However, the absence of explicit contact details and privacy policies may limit customer engagement and regulatory compliance. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries from the provided data, suggesting a focused operational scope.

Security posture

The website's security posture is moderate. HTTPS is properly implemented, and domain transfer protection is active, reducing risks of unauthorized domain changes. However, the lack of DNSSEC and missing security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security represent areas for improvement. No signs of malware, phishing, or exposed credentials were found. Cookie consent is managed via a reputable third-party service, supporting privacy compliance. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contacts limits transparency and preparedness. Overall, the site is secure for general use but would benefit from enhanced security controls and clearer compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages clearly accessible from the website footer or main navigation.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  3. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Provide explicit security and incident response policies including dedicated contact channels (e.g., security@ or abuse@ emails).
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities and improve performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Google Maps API, and SEO plugins. It uses external fonts from Google Fonts and integrates cookie consent and accessibility tools effectively. The site demonstrates good mobile responsiveness and SEO optimization. Hosting details are not explicit but DNS is managed via sucuridns.com, indicating use of security-focused DNS services. Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement by optimizing scripts and enabling DNSSEC. The site lacks some security headers and explicit privacy documentation, which are technical debt areas. Overall, the infrastructure supports the business needs but could be modernized further for enhanced security and 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.
