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

IURIS Advocates is a Malta-based law firm established in 2011, offering a wide range of legal services including corporate law, family law, intellectual property, maritime law, and more. The firm operates through multiple entities providing corporate, fiduciary, and traditional legal services. The website is professionally designed using WordPress and the Divi theme, featuring comprehensive content and clear navigation aimed at individuals and businesses seeking legal assistance in Malta and Gozo. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies and includes Google Analytics and Tag Manager for tracking, with a cookie consent mechanism in place. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled, but lacks visible security headers and explicit privacy and terms policies. Overall, the domain registration details align well with the business claims, indicating legitimacy and 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

6 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 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  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

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 positions itself as a multi-purpose law firm with a broad spectrum of legal practice areas, targeting both individual and corporate clients in Malta and Gozo. Its business model includes legal advocacy, corporate and financial services, and fiduciary services through its subsidiaries. The presence of news, careers, and social media channels indicates active engagement and growth. The firm leverages partnerships such as SCG Legal to strengthen its international presence. The website content and structure support a professional image, aiding client acquisition and retention.

Security posture

The website benefits from HTTPS encryption ensuring secure data transmission. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others reduces its defense-in-depth posture. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The cookie consent mechanism supports privacy compliance, but the lack of a published privacy policy and incident response contacts indicates gaps in compliance and readiness. Overall, the security maturity is moderate with room for improvement in policy transparency and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the website footer or main navigation.
  2. Implement and configure security headers to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Add explicit contact information for security incidents and vulnerability disclosures.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.
  5. Regularly review and update cookie consent and tracking practices to align with evolving privacy regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using the Divi theme, a popular and flexible CMS platform. It uses jQuery and integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. The site loads CSS and JS resources efficiently, with some deferred loading for performance. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design and adaptive elements. However, no hosting provider information was detected. The site could benefit from improved accessibility and security header implementation. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could be enhanced with modern security and compliance best practices.
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.
