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

Crowe & Dunlevy is a well-established regional law firm with over 120 years of history, providing a broad range of legal services including transactional and litigation support, mediation, and alternative dispute resolution. The firm targets businesses and individuals seeking comprehensive legal solutions. The website reflects a professional and mature business with a strong market position in the legal sector. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern SEO and analytics tools, offering good performance and mobile optimization. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and no visible vulnerabilities, though there is room for improvement in privacy compliance and explicit security policies. The absence of WHOIS domain registration data is a concern that slightly impacts trustworthiness. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and well-maintained, but verifying domain registration and enhancing privacy and security disclosures would strengthen its credibility.

NIS2 Art. 21(2)

  1. (a) Risk analysis and security policies: Not visible from outside

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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  2. 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
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

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

The firm operates as a traditional law firm with a diversified service offering across 30 practice groups, serving a wide client base. Its long history and membership in Lex Mundi indicate strong industry connections and a reputable market presence. The business model is service-based, focusing on legal expertise and client relationships. The website content and structure support lead generation and client engagement through news updates, contact forms, and mailing lists. The firm leverages digital marketing tools such as Google Analytics and Tag Manager for insights but lacks visible cookie consent mechanisms, which may affect compliance. The firm’s partnerships and alliances are highlighted, reinforcing its strategic positioning.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and uses reputable analytics and tracking services loaded asynchronously to minimize performance impact. No security headers were explicitly detected in the HTML content, suggesting potential for enhancement. There is no visible security policy or incident response information, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present. The site does not expose sensitive data or use vulnerable libraries based on the analysis. Privacy compliance is partial, with a comprehensive privacy policy present but no cookie consent banner detected. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved by adding security headers, explicit incident response details, and cookie consent mechanisms to align with best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a visible cookie consent banner to comply with privacy regulations and improve user trust.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan accessible to users.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection.
  4. Consider creating and publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Verify and update domain WHOIS registration information to ensure transparency and trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Yoast SEO Premium plugin for SEO optimization. It integrates Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Siteimprove Analytics for performance and user behavior tracking. The site uses Google Maps API for location services. The front-end includes modern JavaScript and CSS assets optimized via Hummingbird plugin. The site is mobile responsive and accessible with good navigation clarity. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts to improve speed. There is no explicit hosting provider information detected. The technical implementation is solid with opportunities to enhance security headers and privacy compliance features.
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.
