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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

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

GTG Legal targets clients requiring sophisticated legal advice in Malta and related jurisdictions, including corporate entities, financial institutions, and technology companies. Their business model is service-oriented, focusing on legal consultancy and compliance. The firm maintains partnerships with reputable organizations such as the Malta Chamber and FinanceMalta, enhancing its market credibility. The website content and structure support their positioning as a medium-sized, established legal practice with a focus on innovation and client success. Growth indicators include active publication of insights and engagement on social media platforms.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and uses Google Tag Manager for analytics, indicating a baseline security awareness. However, the absence of explicit security headers in the HTML source and lack of a cookie consent mechanism suggest areas for improvement in security and privacy compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The firm does not publicly disclose a security policy or incident response contacts, which could enhance trust and preparedness. Overall, the security maturity is moderate with room for enhancements to meet best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Add a visible cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to comply with GDPR and ePrivacy regulations.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Regularly update and audit all third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance by appointing and disclosing a Data Protection Officer or contact point.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using Visual Composer, jQuery, Bootstrap, and other modern front-end libraries. It loads resources asynchronously and uses Google Fonts and FontAwesome for styling. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible with an accessibility toolbar present. Performance is moderate with potential improvements in caching and resource optimization. No critical technical debt or outdated libraries were detected. Hosting provider details are not explicit in the HTML source. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and user-friendly experience.
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.
