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

Foulston Siefkin LLP is the largest Kansas-based law firm, providing a broad range of legal services including corporate and business law, healthcare law, litigation, and employment law. The firm targets businesses and individuals seeking professional legal counsel, positioning itself as a leading regional legal service provider with a strong market presence in Kansas and surrounding areas. Their website reflects a professional and comprehensive approach, featuring detailed practice areas, attorney search capabilities, and client testimonials, supporting their market leadership claims. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies such as jQuery, Bootstrap, Owl Carousel, and integrates Google Tag Manager and CookieYes for analytics and privacy compliance. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, with structured data enhancing search engine understanding. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms effectively, but lacks visible security headers and explicit security or incident response policies. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The absence of WHOIS data is a notable anomaly that warrants further investigation to confirm domain registration legitimacy. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with strong business credibility and privacy compliance, though improvements in security policy transparency and domain registration verification are recommended to enhance 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. 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

Foulston Siefkin LLP operates as a professional legal services firm with a large size and strong regional market position in Kansas. Their business model focuses on partner-led teams offering a wide array of practice areas tailored to business and individual clients. The firm leverages digital channels including a comprehensive website, social media, and newsletters to engage clients and prospects. Their partnerships with legal networks such as LexMundi and GGI enhance their service reach and credibility. The firm shows growth indicators through active content updates, summer associate programs, and industry recognitions. Revenue streams likely derive from legal services across multiple sectors including healthcare, energy, finance, and real estate. The firm maintains a professional brand with consistent messaging and trust signals such as testimonials and industry memberships.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place. Use of Google reCAPTCHA cookies indicates bot protection measures. However, the absence of security headers like Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security policies or incident response contacts represent gaps in security transparency and defense-in-depth. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified in the content. The missing WHOIS data raises concerns about domain registration transparency, which could impact trust. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a professional services website but could be improved by implementing recommended headers, publishing security policies, and verifying domain registration details.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance browser security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data to ensure domain registration legitimacy and build trust with visitors.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced and maintain updated versions.
  5. Enhance website performance optimization to improve loading speed and user experience, especially on mobile devices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using a combination of jQuery, Bootstrap 4.3.1, Owl Carousel for sliders, and CookieYes for cookie consent management. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing tag deployment. The site uses responsive design techniques and accessibility features such as ARIA labels and keyboard navigation support. The HTML structure is valid and SEO optimized with meta tags, Open Graph tags, and JSON-LD structured data for professional services. Performance is moderate with lazy loading images and asynchronous script loading. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the content. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and user-friendly website but could benefit from enhanced security headers and performance tuning.
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.
