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

Urban Splash is a UK-based award-winning regeneration company specializing in creating exceptional residential and commercial spaces. The company focuses on urban regeneration projects, delivering innovative and sustainable places for people to live and work. Their market position is strong within the real estate development sector, targeting property buyers, renters, commercial tenants, and design professionals. The website reflects a mature digital presence with good content quality and clear business messaging. Technically, the website employs modern technologies including Craft CMS, Django backend elements, Google Tag Manager, and Cloudflare for performance and security. The site is mobile-optimized and includes comprehensive cookie consent and privacy mechanisms, indicating a good level of digital maturity and compliance with GDPR requirements. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration and implements CSRF protection cookies. However, some security headers are not explicitly detected and could be improved. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. The cookie consent mechanism and privacy policy are comprehensive and user-friendly, supporting privacy compliance. Overall, the website presents a low risk profile with strong business credibility and technical implementation. The main limitation is the lack of WHOIS data transparency due to Nominet UK restrictions, which slightly reduces domain trust verification. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers and maintaining regular audits of third-party scripts to sustain security posture.

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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 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';…

  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

  3. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Potential Subdomain Takeover

      Subdomain api.urbansplash.co.uk points to unregistered service ushouse-1505810370.eu-west-1.elb.amazonaws.com

      What to do: Remove or fix CNAME record to prevent subdomain takeover

      • WSTG-CONF-10
      • NIS2 21(2)(i)
      • IR 2024/2690 12.4: Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 12.4: Asset inventory

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

Urban Splash operates in the real estate regeneration sector with a focus on residential and commercial property development. Their business model revolves around urban regeneration projects that revitalize areas and provide modern living and working spaces. The company targets a diverse audience including home buyers, renters, commercial tenants, designers, and regeneration stakeholders. Their competitive advantage lies in their award-winning reputation and integrated approach to regeneration. The website indicates a medium-sized enterprise with a strong UK presence and active engagement through social media channels. Revenue streams likely include property sales, rentals, and commercial leasing. The company maintains a professional online presence with clear navigation and content relevant to their market. Partnerships and subsidiaries are not explicitly identified on the site.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and CSRF protection implemented via cookies. The presence of a cookie consent mechanism and detailed privacy policy indicates compliance with GDPR. However, some recommended security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options are not explicitly detected and should be implemented to enhance security. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified in the analysis. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, which is common but could be improved for transparency. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from additional header hardening and documented incident response procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency.
  4. Maintain and enhance cookie consent and privacy mechanisms to ensure ongoing GDPR compliance.
  5. Conduct periodic penetration testing and vulnerability assessments to proactively identify risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Craft CMS with backend elements from Django, indicating a hybrid technology stack. It uses Google Tag Manager and Google Maps API for analytics and mapping features. CookieYes is used for cookie consent management, and Cloudflare is inferred as the hosting and security provider due to specific cookies. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and includes accessibility features at a basic level. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph, and Twitter cards. The site uses modern HTML5 and CSS3 standards. Technical risks include potential gaps in security headers and reliance on multiple third-party scripts which require ongoing 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.
