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

The website harmann.ch represents a small Swiss law firm operated by Robert Harmann, offering legal services primarily in the Zürich region. The site provides basic information about the firm's practice areas including commercial law, family law, inheritance law, and related legal fields. The business model is that of a traditional law firm targeting local clients seeking legal counsel. The website content is minimal and primarily informational, with no interactive features or detailed contact information visible on the main page. Technically, the site is outdated, using HTML 4.01 Transitional and generated by Adobe GoLive 6, with no modern CMS or frameworks detected. The hosting is provided by Hostpoint, but the site lacks HTTPS, exposing visitors to security risks. Security posture is weak due to absence of SSL/TLS, missing security headers, and no privacy or cookie policies, which also impacts compliance with GDPR and other regulations. Overall, the website presents a low digital maturity level and limited user experience, which may affect trust and professional perception. Strategic improvements in security, privacy compliance, and content quality are recommended to enhance credibility and protect client data.

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

9 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

  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

  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 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';…

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 law firm operates in a niche local market serving Zürich and nearby municipalities, focusing on various legal disciplines such as commercial, family, and inheritance law. The business appears to be a small, possibly sole proprietorship or small partnership, without evidence of subsidiaries or parent companies. The firm’s competitive advantage lies in its local presence and specialized legal expertise. However, the website’s minimal digital footprint and lack of modern features limit its ability to attract and engage clients online. There is no evidence of partnerships or integrations with other service providers. Revenue streams are likely traditional legal fees. Growth indicators and marketing efforts are not visible from the website content. The firm would benefit from enhancing its online presence and digital marketing strategies.

Security posture

The current security posture is poor. The absence of HTTPS means all data transmitted is unencrypted, exposing clients and visitors to interception risks. No security headers are implemented to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. The lack of privacy and cookie policies indicates non-compliance with GDPR and related data protection regulations, which is critical for a law firm handling sensitive client information. No incident response or security contact information is provided, limiting the firm's ability to respond to security incidents effectively. The DNS configuration lacks DNSSEC and CAA records, which could improve domain security. Overall, the site is vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks and lacks basic security hygiene, posing reputational and legal risks.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a valid SSL/TLS certificate and enforce HTTPS site-wide to secure communications.
  2. Develop and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and enhance transparency.
  3. Add clear contact information including email, phone, and physical address to improve client trust and accessibility.
  4. Update website technology stack to modern standards (HTML5, responsive design) and improve user experience.
  5. Introduce security headers and enable DNSSEC and CAA records to strengthen domain and site security.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on Apache server via Hostpoint with DNS records properly configured but lacking DNSSEC and CAA. The site uses an outdated HTML 4.01 Transitional doctype and was generated by Adobe GoLive 6, indicating legacy technology. No modern CMS or JavaScript frameworks are detected. The site uses framesets, which are deprecated and negatively impact usability and SEO. Performance metrics are unavailable, but the minimal content and lack of resources suggest slow or unoptimized delivery. Mobile optimization and accessibility are poor due to outdated design and lack of responsive elements. SEO is basic with meta keywords and description present but no advanced SEO features. Overall, the technical infrastructure is outdated and requires modernization to meet current web standards and user expectations.
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.
