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

Unique Estate Agency Ltd operates as a real estate agency in the United Kingdom, focusing on property sales, lettings, auctions, and valuations primarily across the Fylde Coast region. The company maintains multiple branch offices with dedicated contact details and offers services tailored to tenants, buyers, landlords, and vendors. The website presents a professional appearance with clear navigation and multiple service offerings, positioning itself as a market leader in its local area. However, the domain registration data is unavailable and flagged as invalid by the Nominet UK WHOIS system, which raises concerns about domain legitimacy or configuration issues. Despite this, the website content and business information appear consistent and credible.

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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  3. 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"

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 targets property buyers, sellers, tenants, and landlords in the UK real estate market, leveraging multiple branches to serve a regional audience. Its business model centers on traditional estate agency services supplemented by online property search and valuation tools. The partnership with uniqueestateagency.pattinson.co.uk for auction properties indicates a collaborative ecosystem. The presence of testimonials and multiple contact channels enhances trust. However, the lack of visible certifications and incomplete WHOIS data suggest areas for improvement in transparency and compliance.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and includes a cookie consent mechanism and CAPTCHA on its contact form, indicating baseline security awareness. It uses Facebook Pixel for tracking and Yomdel chat scripts for customer engagement. However, no explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or HSTS were detected, and the WHOIS data is missing, which is a potential risk factor. The absence of vulnerability disclosure or incident response information further limits the security maturity. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could benefit from enhanced header configurations, regular CMS updates, and improved transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify HTTPS with strong SSL/TLS configuration and ensure all resources load securely.
  2. Add essential security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Resolve domain registration issues to ensure WHOIS data is complete and publicly available, improving trust and legitimacy.
  4. Regularly update the CMS and third-party libraries to patch known vulnerabilities and improve performance.
  5. Enhance accessibility and mobile responsiveness to improve user experience and SEO.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Gnomen CMS 4 and uses common web technologies such as Bootstrap, jQuery, Font Awesome, and Google Fonts. It integrates third-party scripts including Facebook Pixel and Yomdel chat for marketing and customer support. The site features a Jssor slider for image display and employs a cookie consent banner for compliance. Performance is moderate with some placeholder content noted in property listings. Mobile optimization and accessibility are basic but functional. The technical stack is standard for a mid-sized real estate agency website but could be modernized with improved security practices and enhanced SEO features.
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.
