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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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

  3. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

    • High

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.

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 targets corporate clients, financial institutions, government bodies, and NGOs, offering strategic legal advisory and litigation services. It has a strong market position supported by industry recognitions and a diversified service portfolio. The business model focuses on integrated legal solutions with a strategic presence in key Indian cities and international alliances. The website's content and testimonials indicate a mature and reputable firm with a large client base and significant deal values. The firm leverages digital tools for client engagement and marketing but lacks explicit privacy and security policy disclosures. Growth indicators include active content updates, events, and innovation programs. The partnership ecosystem is visible through social media and alliances but no explicit related domains were identified.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and uses security-conscious plugins, but lacks explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerabilities were detected in the HTML content. The cookie consent mechanism is present, indicating some privacy compliance efforts. However, the absence of a clear privacy policy and incident response information limits the security maturity. The WHOIS data absence raises questions about domain registration transparency. Overall, the security posture is moderate with room for improvement in header implementation, privacy disclosures, and incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy.
  2. Publish a clear and accessible privacy policy page detailing data collection, usage, and GDPR compliance.
  3. Conduct regular security audits and update WordPress core and plugins promptly to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards for broader compliance and usability.
  5. Improve WHOIS domain registration transparency or provide justification for privacy protection to enhance trust.

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Swiper.js, Slider Revolution, and various plugins for SEO, forms, and media embedding. The site loads with moderate performance and is mobile optimized with responsive design. SEO is well implemented with meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data.

Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and functional web presence with opportunities for performance and security enhancements.
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.
