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

1 finding 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.

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

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

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

Eversheds Sutherland operates as a large enterprise law firm with a global footprint, serving diverse sectors such as banking, energy, transport, real estate, and technology. Their business model centers on providing specialized legal advice and services to corporate clients internationally. The firm leverages a strong brand presence and comprehensive service offerings to maintain a competitive advantage in the legal market. Their partnership ecosystem includes integrations with analytics and marketing platforms to support client engagement and business development. Growth indicators include a broad service portfolio and multi-language website support. The firm's operations reflect a mature and well-structured organization with a focus on compliance and client service excellence.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented, including Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms are comprehensive and GDPR-aligned. However, the absence of a publicly available security policy or incident response contact reduces transparency. No vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file was found, which could be improved to enhance security culture and incident handling readiness. Overall, the security maturity is high but could benefit from increased transparency and formalized disclosure processes.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security frameworks and practices.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information and procedures on the website.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Enhance transparency around domain registration details to improve trust.
  5. Continue to monitor and update third-party scripts and analytics tools to mitigate supply chain risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using React, indicating a modern frontend framework choice. It integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools such as Piwik PRO, Siteimprove, Demandbase, and Microsoft Clarity, supporting data-driven decision making. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices including meta tags and structured data. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by the number of external scripts and tracking pixels. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting details are not disclosed. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which require ongoing security monitoring. Overall, the technical infrastructure is robust and supports the firm's global business needs effectively.
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.
