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

Bird & Bird is an established international law firm with a significant presence in Denmark, formed through the 2013 merger with the Danish firm BvHD. The Denmark offices are located in Copenhagen and Skanderborg, offering legal services through a team of over 20 lawyers. The firm targets clients in the Nordic region, providing specialized legal advisory services. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, with clear navigation and relevant content tailored to its audience. Technically, the site is built on the Sitecore CMS platform and integrates advanced search capabilities via Coveo, alongside modern JavaScript libraries and cookie consent management through Cookiebot. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices and demonstrates good SEO and accessibility practices. Security-wise, the website enforces HTTPS and employs cookie consent mechanisms that comply with GDPR, although some security headers are not explicitly detected. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain registration transparency, but the overall digital maturity and compliance posture indicate a trustworthy and professionally managed online presence. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing explicit security and incident response policies, and improving visible contact information to bolster trust further.

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

2 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"

  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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Bird & Bird operates in the legal sector with a focus on corporate and intellectual property law in the Nordic region. The firm's business model centers on providing high-value legal services to corporate clients, leveraging regional expertise and international reach. The Denmark offices, formed by merging with BvHD, position the firm competitively within the local market. The website's integration with marketing and analytics tools such as Google Analytics and LinkedIn Insight Tag supports targeted outreach and client engagement. The firm maintains active social media channels on LinkedIn and Twitter, enhancing its professional network and visibility. While the WHOIS data is unavailable, the website's professional presentation and compliance with privacy regulations suggest a legitimate and stable business operation. Growth indicators include a medium-sized team and comprehensive service offerings. The firm could benefit from clearer public contact details and published certifications to strengthen client confidence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism that aligns with GDPR requirements. The use of Cookiebot ensures transparent user consent management for cookies and tracking technologies. No critical security vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. No visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies were found, which could be a gap in transparency and readiness. The lack of a published data protection officer contact also limits direct privacy accountability. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by adopting additional security best practices and publishing relevant policies to reassure users and clients.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance browser security.
  2. Add visible links to terms of service and security incident response policies to improve transparency and compliance.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Provide clear and accessible contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security-related inquiries.
  5. Consider appointing and publishing data protection officer contact details to strengthen GDPR compliance and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Sitecore CMS platform, leveraging Coveo for advanced search functionality and integrating modern JavaScript libraries such as Plyr.js and Ractive.js. Cookie consent is managed via Cookiebot, ensuring compliance with privacy regulations. Google Tag Manager and LinkedIn Insight Tag are used for analytics and marketing purposes. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and use of CDNs for third-party libraries. No major technical debt or outdated technologies were detected. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and enhance SEO metadata further. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and user-friendly experience aligned with business goals.
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.
