Risk levelMedium

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

Hallowell Law operates as a small legal services provider specializing in family law and estate planning. The website is hosted on the Wix platform and uses standard Wix technologies including Google Tag Manager and Cookie Script for analytics and cookie consent. The site content is basic but relevant to legal services, targeting individuals seeking family and estate law assistance. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data raises concerns about domain legitimacy and transparency. The website lacks critical compliance documents such as privacy policy and terms of service, and no direct contact information is found in the HTML content. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but missing advanced security headers. Overall, the site presents a basic professional presence but requires improvements in transparency, compliance, and security to enhance trustworthiness.

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

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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';…

  2. 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

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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 business appears to be a local or regional law firm focusing on family and estate law. The business model is professional services with a target audience of individuals needing legal assistance. The website does not reveal detailed business information such as founding year or company size but suggests a small operation. The use of Wix indicates a cost-effective digital presence. No partnerships or subsidiaries are evident. The lack of WHOIS data and contact details limits the ability to fully assess business credibility and market positioning.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS and includes cookie consent mechanisms, which are positive security indicators. However, the absence of security headers like Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided. The use of third-party scripts such as Google Tag Manager and Cookie Script introduces moderate tracking and potential privacy concerns. The lack of privacy policy and terms of service pages indicates compliance gaps, particularly with GDPR. Overall, the security maturity is basic and would benefit from enhanced security controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Add clear and verified contact information including company emails and phone numbers to enhance business credibility.
  3. Configure and deploy security headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen security posture.
  4. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts to minimize privacy risks and ensure compliance with data protection regulations.
  5. Consider registering the domain with transparent WHOIS information or using justified privacy protection to improve legitimacy.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Wix platform, leveraging Wix's hosting and content management system. It uses modern JavaScript polyfills and Google Tag Manager for analytics. Cookie consent is managed via Cookie Script. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design elements. Performance is moderate, typical of Wix-hosted sites. SEO optimization is basic with meta tags present but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags detected. Accessibility features are minimal. The technical stack is suitable for a small business website but lacks advanced customization or security hardening.
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.
