Risk levelLow

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

Cuatrecasas is a leading international law firm prominently established in Spain, Portugal, and Latin America, offering a broad range of legal services including corporate and M&A, energy, infrastructure, intellectual property, and venture capital. The firm targets corporate clients, investors, and legal professionals, positioning itself as a top-tier legal advisor in its markets. The website demonstrates a high level of professionalism with excellent content quality, clear navigation, and multi-language support, reflecting a mature digital presence. Technically, the site employs modern frameworks such as Bootstrap and Swiper, integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics, and is optimized for mobile devices with good accessibility and SEO practices. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS and secure forms but lacks visible security headers and explicit privacy or cookie policies, indicating room for improvement in compliance and transparency. The absence of WHOIS data is notable and warrants further investigation, though the overall site and branding suggest legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include enhancing privacy compliance, publishing security policies, and improving WHOIS transparency to strengthen trust and security posture.

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

2 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

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

Cuatrecasas operates as an essential entity in the legal services sector, focusing on energy, real estate, and other corporate law areas. Its business model revolves around providing specialized legal advisory services to a diverse client base across multiple countries. The firm leverages a strong partnership ecosystem, including related websites for innovation, industrial property, and education. The website content and structure indicate a large organization with a well-established market position. Growth indicators include active publication of legal insights and news, reflecting thought leadership. The firm’s digital presence supports its competitive advantage by offering comprehensive resources and multi-regional access, catering to a global audience.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security posture with HTTPS enforced and secure form handling. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and absence of explicit privacy and cookie policies reduce its compliance maturity. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which could impact readiness and transparency. The use of Google Tag Manager introduces moderate user tracking, but privacy compliance is weak due to missing consent mechanisms. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be enhanced by adopting best practices in security headers, privacy transparency, and incident response communication.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publicly display a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish an incident response policy or security.txt file to provide clear channels for vulnerability reporting and improve security transparency.
  4. Investigate and clarify WHOIS registration details to improve domain legitimacy and trustworthiness.
  5. Enhance user trust by showcasing relevant certifications or compliance frameworks such as ISO 27001 or similar.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and robust technology stack including Bootstrap 4.4.1 for responsive design, Swiper 11 for interactive sliders, and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. The site loads external CSS and fonts efficiently and supports multiple languages and regions, indicating a scalable infrastructure. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not evident from the HTML. The site could benefit from improved security headers and enhanced privacy controls to reduce technical risks and align with best practices.
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.
