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

Farrell Fritz is a professional law firm serving clients primarily in the New York metropolitan area, offering a broad range of legal services and insights. The website presents a well-structured, content-rich platform featuring articles, news, events, and legal insights, positioning the firm as an established regional legal service provider. The firm targets clients seeking high-level legal expertise and maintains a professional online presence with consistent branding and quality content. Technically, the website is built on WordPress, utilizing modern libraries such as jQuery and Swiper.js, and integrates SEO tools like Yoast SEO. Cookie consent is managed via Cookiebot, indicating attention to privacy compliance. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with moderate performance. However, some security best practices such as explicit security headers are missing. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive data detected. The cookie consent mechanism is comprehensive, but the absence of a clear privacy policy and terms of service pages is a compliance gap. WHOIS data is unavailable, which raises some concerns about domain registration transparency, though the website content supports legitimacy. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced transparency in privacy and security policies, improved security headers, and verified domain registration information to strengthen trust and compliance.

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. 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Farrell Fritz operates as a large law firm focused on the New York metropolitan market, providing legal services across multiple practice areas. The firm leverages content marketing through legal insights, news, and events to engage its target audience of legal clients and professionals. The presence of a client portal indicates a digital service component enhancing client interaction. The firm appears to maintain a strong market position with consistent branding and professional content. Partnerships with service providers like HighQ for client portals suggest a mature operational ecosystem. The lack of explicit business registration data online may be due to privacy preferences but should be addressed for full transparency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with HTTPS enabled and a robust cookie consent mechanism that categorizes cookies by purpose and provider. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others is a notable gap. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The lack of a published security policy, incident response contact, or vulnerability disclosure mechanism limits the firm's transparency and readiness in security matters. WHOIS data absence also reduces trust in domain legitimacy. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be significantly improved with better policy disclosures and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page clearly accessible from the website footer or main navigation.
  2. Add a terms of service page detailing user rights and obligations.
  3. Implement and publish a security policy and incident response contact information.
  4. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection.
  5. Verify and disclose domain registration details to improve trust and legitimacy.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including jQuery and Swiper.js for UI components. SEO is managed via Yoast SEO plugin, and cookie compliance is handled by Cookiebot. The site loads resources from reputable CDNs like jsdelivr.net and integrates Google Analytics and Chartbeat for analytics. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. However, the absence of security headers and incomplete WHOIS data indicate areas for technical improvement. The site architecture supports a professional and content-rich experience but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and clearer privacy disclosures.
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.
