Risk levelMedium

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

act legal is a German-based legal services provider established in 2014, offering legal advice and consultancy primarily to German-speaking clients. The website presents a professional design with moderate content quality and good user experience, targeting individuals and businesses seeking legal support. The technical infrastructure includes modern web technologies such as Bootstrap, Google Tag Manager, and CookieHub for cookie consent management. Hosting and domain registration are managed via GoDaddy.com, LLC, with a domain age consistent with a mature business presence. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but lacks advanced security headers and published security policies. Privacy compliance is basic, with a cookie consent mechanism but no explicit privacy or terms of service pages detected. Overall, the website is functional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced privacy disclosures and security practices.

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

8 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.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  2. 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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

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 operates in the legal services sector, focusing on providing consultancy and legal advice. The business model is service-oriented, targeting a niche market within Germany. The website's market position appears to be that of a specialized small legal firm. There is no evidence of parent or subsidiary companies. The lack of detailed business information and contact details on the website limits deeper business intelligence insights. The use of analytics and cookie consent tools indicates awareness of digital marketing and compliance requirements, though privacy policy transparency could be improved.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and domain registration protections such as clientDeleteProhibited status. However, it lacks visible security headers like Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options, which are recommended for enhanced security. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is published, which could hinder timely reporting and handling of security issues. The absence of a security.txt file and explicit security policies suggests room for improvement in security governance. No exposed sensitive data or known vulnerabilities were detected in the analyzed content.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to strengthen domain name system security.
  2. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve compliance and user trust.
  4. Add explicit contact information including emails and phone numbers for customer support and incident reporting.
  5. Consider publishing a security policy and vulnerability disclosure program to enhance security posture and transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking, and CookieHub for cookie consent management. The domain is registered with GoDaddy.com, LLC, a reputable registrar. Performance appears moderate with no major issues detected in the HTML content. Mobile optimization is good due to responsive frameworks. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO optimization is basic with standard meta tags but no advanced structured data or rich snippets detected. The website could benefit from improved technical SEO and accessibility enhancements.
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.
