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

3 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

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 businesses and high-net-worth individuals requiring sophisticated legal advice. Keystone Law's business model focuses on sector specialization and regional coverage, including international markets. Their competitive advantage lies in direct access to experienced lawyers and a wide range of legal expertise. The website content and structured data confirm a well-established firm founded in 2018, with a large organizational size. The firm maintains a professional online presence with clear navigation and comprehensive service listings. Partnerships with related domains such as keypointlaw.com suggest strategic alliances to extend their reach. The firm actively publishes news and keynotes, indicating thought leadership and engagement with clients and the legal community.

Security posture

Keystone Law exhibits a strong security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers present. The use of Google reCAPTCHA on forms mitigates automated abuse. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy or incident response contact information represents an area for improvement. The firm should consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy to enhance transparency and trust. Overall, the security measures align with industry best practices for a professional services website, supporting business continuity and client data protection.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security frameworks and practices.
  2. Add explicit incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance form validation and monitoring to prevent potential abuse or data leakage.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Google reCAPTCHA, and SEO plugins like Yoast. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. Mobile responsiveness and accessibility are well addressed. The site uses SVG icons and BXSlider for interactive elements. Hosting provider details are not explicit in the HTML content. The site employs cookie consent management and tracking tools such as Google Analytics and Monsido for compliance and analytics. Technical debt appears low, but continuous monitoring and updates are recommended to maintain security and performance.
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.
