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.

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.

Business context
Business profile
The firm operates in the finance and legal sectors with a focus on Malta's strategic position as a financial hub. Their business model revolves around providing specialized legal and tax advisory services to a global clientele, including investors and entrepreneurs. The presence of multiple certifications and industry recognitions enhances their competitive advantage. Their partnership with Andersen Global expands their international reach. The website's content strategy includes publishing insights and legal articles, which supports thought leadership and client engagement. Contact transparency and detailed professional bios further strengthen client trust and conversion potential.
Security posture
The website exhibits a strong security posture with enforced HTTPS, modern security headers, and use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms. Cookie consent is managed via Cookiebot, supporting GDPR compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the absence of a publicly available security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure program represents an area for improvement. The firm should consider publishing these documents to enhance transparency and preparedness. Overall, the security maturity is good but can be elevated with formalized policies and communication.
Recommendations
Publish a formal security policy and incident response plan on the website.
Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
Provide contact details for a Data Protection Officer or security contact to improve compliance transparency.
Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards and improve inclusivity.
Automated reading of the public site. Ratings are indicative.

Notes
The website is built on the Webflow platform, utilizing modern front-end technologies such as jQuery and Finsweet CMS components. It employs Google Tag Manager and Cookiebot for analytics and privacy management. Hosting is via Amazon CloudFront CDN, contributing to fast load times and global availability. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good accessibility practices. SEO is supported by comprehensive meta tags and structured content. No technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Opportunities exist to further improve accessibility and formalize security-related technical documentation.
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.
