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

CEE Tax Group is a small, boutique tax law firm based in Malta, founded in 2004. The firm specializes in tax and legal business solutions including international taxation, digital companies, trust and estate planning, and accounting and compliance services. Their business model emphasizes fixed fee and success fee billing, aiming to provide tailored and practical advice to a diverse client base. The website presents a professional and consistent brand image with clear service offerings and a focus on client accessibility. Technically, the site is built on WordPress using the Divi theme and jQuery libraries, with moderate performance and good mobile optimization. However, there is a lack of visible security headers and no explicit HTTPS confirmation from the provided data. Privacy and cookie policies are absent, and no contact emails or phone numbers are listed, which impacts privacy compliance and user trust. Social media presence is limited to Facebook with inactive links for other platforms. Overall, the site is functional and professional but could improve in security and compliance transparency.

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

13 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  2. 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

  3. 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  4. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  5. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1

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 · found on this site
  • 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.

Breach exposure

Leaked credentials and lookalike domains from OffSeq Breach. The counts are free; the detailed lists are paid add-ons.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention ceetax.com, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for ceetax.com right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

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 finance sector, targeting businesses and individuals requiring specialized tax and legal advisory services. Their boutique approach and fixed fee billing model differentiate them in the market, focusing on personalized client engagement and practical solutions. The firm’s longevity since 2004 suggests stability, though the lack of detailed contact information and certifications on the website may limit perceived credibility. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates potential compliance gaps. The firm’s digital presence is modest, with limited social media engagement and no visible analytics or marketing tools. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries from the website content.

Security posture

The website shows a basic security posture with no visible security headers and no explicit HTTPS confirmation in the provided data. There is no evidence of vulnerability disclosure mechanisms or incident response contacts. The absence of privacy and cookie policies further weakens compliance with GDPR and related regulations. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The security score is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing HTTPS, security headers, and publishing privacy and cookie policies. Incident response readiness and data protection officer contact information are not provided, indicating gaps in security culture and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate and ensure all site content is served securely.
  2. Add standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  4. Provide clear contact information including company emails and phone numbers for client and security incident communications.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to demonstrate security transparency and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using the Divi theme and includes jQuery libraries. The HTML structure is valid and includes responsive design elements, contributing to good mobile optimization. Performance is moderate with deferred JavaScript loading and use of Google Fonts. SEO optimization is basic with canonical links and viewport meta tags but lacks structured data and Open Graph metadata. Accessibility features are minimal but present. There is no evidence of advanced analytics or marketing tools. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the provided data. Overall, the technical implementation is standard for a small business website but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and SEO improvements.
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.
