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

Glaister Keegan is a well-established full-service law firm based in Auckland, New Zealand, with a history dating back over 100 years. The firm specializes in property law among other legal services and maintains a strong reputation for integrity, professionalism, and client satisfaction. Their website reflects a professional and comprehensive presentation of their services, team, and history, targeting individuals and businesses seeking expert legal advice. Technically, the website is built on a modern platform (Duda) with good performance, mobile optimization, and integration of analytics tools such as Google Analytics and Snowplow.

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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  2. 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
  3. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Unregistered MX Record

      MX record points to unregistered domain: 0

      What to do: Remove or fix MX record pointing to unregistered domain

      • RFC 5321 §5.1
      • NIS2 21(2)(i)
      • IR 2024/2690 12.4: Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 12.4: Asset inventory
      • NIST CM-8: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-8: System Component Inventory

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

The firm operates in the legal services sector with a focus on property law and related areas such as banking, corporate, employment, family, and trusts. It serves a medium-sized market with 15 partners and nearly 80 staff, indicating a substantial operation. The business model is professional services with personalized client engagement. The website shows a consistent brand and strong market positioning as a reputable law firm with a long history. Partnerships include the website design company 543 Website Design. The firm leverages digital tools for marketing and analytics but could improve privacy compliance and security transparency.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS and modern web technologies, including service workers and analytics scripts, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. However, it lacks visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which are recommended best practices. No incident response or security policy pages are found, and no vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are present. The absence of a cookie consent banner despite tracking scripts suggests a gap in privacy compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced with additional headers and privacy features.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to improve protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a visible cookie consent banner to comply with privacy regulations and inform users about tracking.
  3. Publish a security policy or incident response page to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  4. Consider creating a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Investigate and resolve the lack of WHOIS data or consider domain registration transparency to improve trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Duda platform, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries and fonts. It integrates Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Snowplow for analytics and tracking. The site uses a CDN for hosting static assets, ensuring fast load times and good performance. Mobile optimization is excellent, with responsive design and accessibility considerations. The site uses service workers for PWA features, enhancing user experience. However, there is no evidence of advanced frameworks or backend technologies from the HTML content. The technical implementation is solid with room for improvement in security headers and privacy compliance.
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.
