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

2 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

  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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

Business profile

Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP holds a strong market position as a large, full-service law firm with a global footprint. Their business model focuses on providing comprehensive legal services to corporate clients across various sectors. The firm leverages thought leadership through publications, case studies, and events to maintain competitive advantage and client engagement. Their digital presence supports lead generation and client servicing with clear navigation and professional branding. The firm’s partnership ecosystem includes social media channels and industry-specific news dissemination. Growth indicators include recent news about new office openings and high-profile client representations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforcement and domain transfer lock status. The presence of a cookie consent management platform indicates attention to privacy compliance. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers suggests room for improvement in defense-in-depth strategies. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact may limit transparency in security governance. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be enhanced by adopting additional best practices and formalizing incident response communications.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve overall DNS security.
  2. Implement and verify HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and incident response procedures.
  4. Add clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities or outdated components are present.

Notes

The website is powered by a custom CMS with a modern front-end stack including jQuery and Slick Carousel for interactive elements. Google Fonts and Font Awesome are used for typography and icons, respectively.

Performance is moderate with room for optimization. No deprecated or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided HTML content.
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.
