Risk levelMedium

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

HPP Attorneys is a medium-sized Finnish business law firm specializing in comprehensive legal services for domestic and international clients, with a strong focus on cross-border transactions, green transition, and renewable energy projects. The firm holds a reputable market position supported by international legal rankings and a professional online presence. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with Elementor and integrates advanced search and analytics tools, but suffers from slow loading times and lacks a valid SSL certificate, which critically impacts security posture. Privacy compliance is well addressed with a clear cookie consent mechanism and a comprehensive privacy policy. Overall, the firm demonstrates strong business credibility but must urgently address security vulnerabilities to protect client data and maintain trust.

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.

    • 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: LinkedIn

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

  2. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Weak SPF Policy

      SPF record has permissive policy allowing any server to send email

      What to do: Use -all or ~all qualifier for better email security

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

HPP Attorneys operates in multiple sectors including energy, transport, banking, construction, and technology, offering specialized legal expertise in these areas. Their business model focuses on high-value legal advisory services with a client base that includes multinational corporations and governmental bodies. The firm leverages partnerships with related domains such as hpp.fi and maintains active social media channels for brand engagement. Growth indicators include recent news and references highlighting significant legal counsel roles. The firm’s strategic focus on sustainability and green transition aligns with current market trends and regulatory demands.

Security posture

The website currently lacks a valid SSL certificate and does not support any TLS protocols, exposing users to potential data interception risks. No security headers are implemented, and session security features like OCSP stapling and session resumption are absent. While cookie consent and SPF records are properly configured, the absence of HTTPS is a critical vulnerability. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, and no vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are found. This indicates a low maturity level in security governance and incident readiness, posing risks to client confidentiality and regulatory compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Immediately install and maintain a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Implement modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 or TLS 1.3) and enable HSTS with includeSubDomains and preload options.
  3. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Enable OCSP stapling and session resumption to improve security and performance.
  5. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan accessible to users.
  6. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  7. Optimize website performance to reduce load times and improve user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using Elementor and several plugins for enhanced functionality including advanced search (Jet Search), analytics (Matomo), and cookie consent management. The site is hosted on servers associated with your-server.de and uses multiple A and AAAA DNS records. Despite a rich content structure and SEO optimization via Yoast, the site suffers from slow loading times and lacks HTTPS, which is a significant technical risk. The use of third-party scripts like Facebook SDK and SendGrid is evident, supporting marketing and communication needs. Accessibility and mobile optimization are good, but technical debt is present due to missing security configurations and performance bottlenecks.
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.
