Risk levelLow

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

Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield (URW) is a leading European commercial real estate company specializing in owning, developing, and operating sustainable, high-quality real estate assets in major cities. The company focuses on creating destinations that foster community connections and meaningful experiences. Their website reflects a mature digital presence with comprehensive investor relations content, sustainability initiatives, and multimedia engagement. Technically, the site is built on modern frameworks such as Next.js and React, optimized for performance and mobile responsiveness. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforcement and standard security headers, though public security policies and incident response contacts are not prominently disclosed. The absence of WHOIS data is unusual but does not detract from the overall legitimacy and professionalism of the site. Strategic recommendations include publishing explicit security and incident response policies and enhancing transparency around vulnerability disclosures.

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

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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

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

URW holds a strong market position as a major player in European commercial real estate, targeting investors, business partners, and clients interested in sustainable property development and management. Their business model revolves around property ownership, development, and operation with a clear emphasis on sustainability. The company maintains a robust partnership ecosystem and communicates effectively through investor documents and press releases. Growth indicators include active investor days and comprehensive reporting. The website supports their business intelligence by providing detailed portfolio information and news updates, reinforcing their credibility and market leadership.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS, security headers, and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, there is a lack of publicly available security policies, vulnerability disclosure programs, and incident response contacts, which are important for transparency and trust. Compliance with GDPR is indicated through privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms. The security culture appears professional but could benefit from enhanced communication of security practices and incident handling procedures to stakeholders.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security frameworks and practices.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information for security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve inclusivity and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including React and Next.js, with CSS-in-JS styling via Emotion. It features optimized multimedia content and preloading strategies for performance. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices evident in meta tags and structured data. There is no detected CMS, suggesting a custom or headless architecture. Hosting details are not explicit but content delivery networks are used for media assets. Technical risks are minimal, though continuous monitoring of third-party scripts and dependencies is advised to maintain security and performance.
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.
