Doing well

Technical barriers (access_denied) that deter casual bulk access

Room to grow

No gaps confirmed. Some checks could not be completed for this portal, so there may be room the audit could not see.

What to ask for

Building on the protections already in place, you might consider a property-owner notification system (like the ones AZ, FL, HI, IL, and UT have implemented) and a formal data-governance policy that addresses commercial data aggregators.
