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

Frank Bold is a purpose-driven law firm operating primarily in the Czech Republic and other EU countries, specializing in energy law, corporate law, public law, and family law. The firm emphasizes social impact and sustainability, being the first certified B Corporation in the Czech Republic. Their client base includes businesses, municipalities, and individuals, and they maintain a professional and consistent online presence. Technically, the website is built on Drupal 7 with standard JavaScript libraries and integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for user tracking. The site is accessible, moderately optimized for mobile, and presents a good user experience with clear navigation and relevant content. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS with no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data, but lacks some security headers and explicit privacy consent mechanisms. WHOIS data is privacy protected, which is justified given the legal nature of the business. Overall, the website demonstrates a solid business credibility and a good security posture with room for improvement in privacy compliance and security transparency.

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

11 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  3. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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';…

  4. 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

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

Frank Bold holds a strong market position as a socially responsible law firm with a focus on energy and public law sectors. Their B Corporation certification and listing on the British Embassy website enhance their credibility. The firm serves a diverse client base across multiple EU countries, indicating regional expansion and partnership networks. Their business model integrates legal services with social impact goals, investing profits into socially beneficial projects. The presence of multiple offices and a team of over thirty lawyers with specialized expertise supports their medium size classification. The firm’s partnerships with related domains and their active role in shaping legal frameworks suggest a competitive advantage and thought leadership in their niche.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS and no visible sensitive data exposure. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency and readiness communication. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present, which could improve trust and incident handling. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism detected. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by adopting additional best practices and improving user privacy controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a visible cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  2. Add essential security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Consider creating a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 7, a mature but aging CMS platform, using jQuery and standard JavaScript libraries. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking and marketing purposes. The site loads with moderate performance and basic mobile optimization. Meta tags and SEO elements are present but minimal, suggesting room for improvement. The technical stack is stable but could benefit from modernization to improve performance, security, and maintainability. No hosting provider details were detected. The site uses multiple CSS imports and JavaScript files, indicating a modular but potentially heavy front-end. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but should be reviewed for upgrades and enhanced security.
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.
