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

Hoffman Employment Law, LLC is a small legal services firm specializing in employment law, serving employees and employers in Rockville, Maryland. The website presents a professional image with clear descriptions of services related to workplace dispute representation. The firm appears to have been founded in 2018, and the website uses modern web technologies including WordPress, Bootstrap, Gravity Forms, and Yoast SEO to provide a responsive and SEO-optimized user experience. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data raises concerns about domain legitimacy and ownership transparency. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but lacks security headers and explicit privacy or cookie policies. Overall, the site is functional and trustworthy from a content perspective but would benefit from improved compliance and security practices.

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

7 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 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';…

  2. 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

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 targets local clients in the Rockville, MD area, focusing on employment law matters for both employees and employers. The business model is service-based legal representation with a focus on workplace disputes. The website's use of structured data and SEO tools suggests an intent to attract organic search traffic. No partnerships or subsidiaries are evident from the data. The lack of contact details on the visible content may limit direct client engagement. The firm maintains a consistent brand presence and professional content, positioning itself as a specialized local legal provider.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and uses Google Tag Manager for analytics, indicating basic security awareness. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No evidence of vulnerability disclosure or incident response policies was found. The site lacks explicit privacy and cookie policies, which may impact GDPR compliance. No sensitive data exposure or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Overall, security maturity is moderate but could be significantly improved with standard best practices and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers to enhance protection against web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear consent mechanisms to improve compliance.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to foster transparency and security responsiveness.
  4. Add clear and accessible contact information including verified company emails and phone numbers to improve business credibility.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and update CMS/plugins to mitigate potential security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with Bootstrap 5.3.0 for responsive design and uses Gravity Forms for form handling. SEO is enhanced via Yoast SEO plugin, and Font Awesome 6 Pro provides iconography. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics with lazy loading to optimize performance. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with some room for improvement in loading speed and accessibility compliance. The absence of hosting provider data limits infrastructure assessment. Overall, the technical stack is modern and appropriate for a small professional services website.
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.
