Cross & Smith LLC · Other · United States
Medium risk. 9 critical or high findings in Security headers, GDPR outside view and 1 other check.
Cross & Smith LLC is a well-established personal injury law firm operating primarily in Alabama with offices in Tuscaloosa and Birmingham. The firm specializes in accident and injury cases, boasting over 25 years of experience and significant verdicts and settlements exceeding $150 million. Their business model is client-focused with a contingency fee structure, targeting individuals seeking legal representation for personal injury matters. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with comprehensive service descriptions and client testimonials, supporting a strong market position in the regional legal services sector. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using a custom theme by PaperStreet, incorporating modern web technologies such as Yoast SEO for search optimization, Google reCAPTCHA for form security, and CallRail for call tracking. The site is mobile-optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and relevant content. However, some accessibility features are basic and there is room for improvement in performance and security headers. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses reCAPTCHA to protect forms from spam. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of explicit security headers like HSTS and CSP, and the lack of a published security or incident response policy, indicate areas for enhancement. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism or GDPR-specific disclosures. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional, with a solid business credibility score. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance, security header implementation, and incident response transparency would further strengthen the firm's digital security posture and regulatory adherence.
Scanned
NIS2 Art. 21(2)
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.

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.
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.
Counted in this score
Not counted
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.
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.
Risk levels
Leaked credentials and lookalike domains from OffSeq Breach. The counts are free; the detailed lists are paid add-ons.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Automated reading of the public site. Ratings are indicative.
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.
