Risk levelLow

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

A&O Shearman is a global law firm specializing in U.S. and English law, targeting international corporate clients and legal professionals. The website presents a professional and well-branded digital presence, leveraging modern web technologies such as React, Next.js, and Sitecore CMS. The site is mobile-optimized and offers a good user experience with clear navigation and relevant content. Security posture is generally strong with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, although the absence of security headers suggests room for improvement. Privacy compliance is limited as no explicit privacy or cookie policies were detected in the provided content. The WHOIS data is notably missing or inaccessible, raising concerns about domain registration legitimacy. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy in appearance but requires verification of domain registration and enhancement of privacy and security policies.

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

1 finding 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

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 firm operates as a large global law firm with a focus on corporate and international law services. Its market position is strong within the legal sector, emphasizing fluency in multiple legal systems. The business model revolves around providing specialized legal advisory services to multinational clients. The website's use of advanced CMS and modern frameworks indicates a mature digital infrastructure. The absence of explicit contact information and privacy policies may impact client trust and regulatory compliance. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries from the provided data. The firm appears to maintain a consistent brand image and targets a professional audience.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses Google Tag Manager for analytics with default consent set to denied, indicating a privacy-conscious approach. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The missing WHOIS registration data is a significant concern from a trust perspective. Incident response and security policies are not evident on the site. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be improved by implementing recommended headers and publishing clear security and privacy policies.

Recommendations

  1. Verify and update WHOIS registration information to ensure domain legitimacy and transparency.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to enhance GDPR compliance and user trust.
  3. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen site security.
  4. Add explicit contact information including company emails and phone numbers to improve business credibility.
  5. Consider publishing security policies and incident response contacts to demonstrate security readiness and transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern technologies including React and Next.js, hosted on Sitecore Cloud infrastructure. It uses Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking with a default consent denial configuration, reflecting privacy awareness. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible with good SEO practices evident from meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, likely due to rich media content and advanced frameworks. No CMS vulnerabilities or outdated libraries were detected in the provided content. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, though security header implementation is lacking. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable web presence.
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.
