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

Clarion Solicitors is a professional law firm based in Leeds, UK, providing a broad range of legal services to businesses and individuals. The firm emphasizes strong client relationships and offers expertise in sectors such as banking, corporate law, real estate, employment, and tax. Their market position is supported by multiple awards and recognitions, reflecting a reputable and established presence in the legal industry. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including JavaScript, Google Tag Manager, and Imgix for image delivery. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices, features good SEO practices, and provides a smooth user experience. However, no CMS or hosting provider details were explicitly identified. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and includes CSRF tokens and cookie consent mechanisms, indicating attention to user privacy and security. The absence of visible security headers and a formal security policy or vulnerability disclosure page suggests areas for improvement. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Overall, the website presents a professional and trustworthy front for Clarion Solicitors, though the lack of WHOIS data for the domain is a notable anomaly that should be investigated to confirm domain legitimacy and registration status.

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

3 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 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';…

  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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • 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

Clarion Solicitors operates as a medium-sized legal services firm targeting businesses and individuals primarily in the UK. Their comprehensive service portfolio and multiple industry awards position them competitively within the legal market. The firm leverages digital channels including social media and podcasts to engage clients and promote thought leadership. Their business model focuses on relationship-driven legal consultancy with a strong emphasis on client understanding and bespoke solutions. Growth indicators include recent partner appointments and talent promotions, reflecting internal development and market confidence. The firm maintains partnerships with digital service providers for website and marketing support, enhancing their online presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to strong security posture with HTTPS enforced and CSRF protection implemented. Cookie consent mechanisms comply with GDPR requirements, enhancing privacy compliance. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No public incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is available, which could hinder transparency and rapid response to security issues. The lack of WHOIS data for the domain raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy, which is critical for trust in a legal services provider. Overall, security practices are good but could be enhanced by publishing security policies and improving header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish a formal security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data to confirm domain registration legitimacy and improve trust.
  5. Continue to maintain and update privacy and cookie policies to ensure ongoing GDPR compliance and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with modern front-end technologies including JavaScript and CSS3, utilizing SVG icons and web fonts for a polished visual experience. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing tracking. Images are served via Imgix CDN, optimizing performance. The site is mobile responsive with good accessibility features such as ARIA labels and screen reader text. No CMS or backend platform was identified, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, particularly in loading times and caching strategies. The technical implementation supports a professional user experience but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and backend transparency.
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.
