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

Glimstedt is a well-established full-service sworn law firm specializing in business law, with a history dating back to 1935. The firm serves a diverse clientele including large foreign capital companies, medium and small enterprises, and private individuals. With 14 offices in Sweden and 3 in the Baltic states, Glimstedt operates an international team of 250 professionals, emphasizing collaboration and excellence. The website reflects this professional positioning with clear branding and relevant business content. Technically, the website is built on WordPress and uses modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Modernizr. The site is mobile-optimized and performs moderately well, with proper SEO meta tags and Open Graph data. However, accessibility features are basic and could be improved. The site uses HTTPS with a good SSL configuration but lacks explicit security headers and visible privacy or cookie policies. From a security perspective, the site shows a good baseline with HTTPS and no exposed sensitive data. However, the absence of security headers, privacy policies, cookie consent mechanisms, and vulnerability disclosure information indicates room for improvement in compliance and security posture. No critical vulnerabilities or WAF blocking were detected, suggesting a stable but improvable security environment. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy, reflecting the firm's reputable market position. Strategic recommendations include implementing comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, adding security headers, publishing incident response and vulnerability disclosure information, and enhancing accessibility and compliance features to strengthen 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

12 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.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

  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 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

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

Glimstedt holds a strong market position as a traditional and international law firm focused on business law. Its competitive advantage lies in its long history, broad geographic presence across Sweden and the Baltic states, and a sizable professional team. The business model centers on providing tailored legal services to a wide range of business clients and private individuals. Revenue streams likely derive from legal consulting, litigation, and corporate services. The firm targets medium to large enterprises and private clients, leveraging its reputation and international network. Partnerships with regional offices in neighboring countries enhance its service offering and market reach. The website content and linked domains confirm a cohesive brand and operational strategy focused on legal excellence and client service.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and no visible sensitive data leaks. However, the lack of security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. The absence of a privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is publicly available, which may hinder timely security issue reporting and resolution. The security culture appears basic, with no advanced security frameworks or certifications mentioned. Overall, the security posture is functional but requires enhancements to meet modern compliance and protection standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add standard security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to enhance protection against web vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies, including a security.txt file, to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and CMS components to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Modernizr for enhanced frontend functionality. The site includes proper meta tags for SEO and social media sharing (Open Graph), and uses responsive design techniques for mobile optimization. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected in the provided HTML. However, accessibility features are basic and could be improved. The absence of explicit security headers and privacy compliance elements indicates technical debt in security and compliance areas. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified from the HTML content. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional web presence but requires updates to align with best practices in security and privacy.
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.
