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

Latta & Co Solicitors is a well-established legal firm based in Glasgow, Scotland, specializing in immigration, asylum, human rights, housing, eviction, mental health, and employment law. The firm positions itself as the largest and best immigration law provider in Scotland, with accredited specialists recognized by the Law Society of Scotland. Their services cater primarily to individuals and organizations requiring expert legal advice and representation in these areas. The website offers multiple contact channels including phone, email, and an online consultation booking form, supporting both in-person and remote consultations via Skype and FaceTime. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using Elementor and other modern plugins such as Yoast SEO and Contact Form 7, ensuring a professional and responsive design optimized for SEO and accessibility. The site employs HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and security headers, and uses Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms from abuse. Performance optimizations are evident through NitroPack integration, contributing to fast loading times and good mobile optimization. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates good practices including secure form handling and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, there is no explicit security policy or incident response contact information published, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present. Privacy and cookie policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, with a consent mechanism in place. Overall, the website and business present a high level of professionalism, trustworthiness, and technical maturity. The domain registration data aligns well with the business claims, supporting legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include publishing a security policy, establishing incident response contacts, and considering a vulnerability disclosure program to further enhance security posture and client 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

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.

    • 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

  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

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

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.

Business context

Business profile

Latta & Co Solicitors operates in the legal services sector with a strong focus on immigration and related law fields. Their market positioning as the largest immigration firm in Scotland with accredited specialists provides a competitive advantage. The business model revolves around providing expert legal advice and representation, with revenue likely generated from client consultations and legal services. The firm targets individuals and entities needing legal assistance in immigration, housing, mental health, and employment law within Scotland and the UK. The presence of client testimonials and professional accreditations indicates a positive reputation and client satisfaction. The firm maintains partnerships or memberships with recognized bodies such as The Law Society of Scotland and the Scottish Legal Aid Board, enhancing credibility. Growth indicators include a comprehensive service offering and digital presence with online consultation options.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced, strong SSL configuration, and multiple security headers implemented. Use of Google reCAPTCHA on forms mitigates automated abuse risks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contact channels, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates room for improvement in transparency and preparedness. The site’s privacy and cookie policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, reflecting good data protection practices. Overall, the security posture is strong but could be enhanced by formalizing security governance documentation and incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Establish and publicize incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program and publish a security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance accessibility features, particularly keyboard navigation and ARIA roles, to improve inclusivity.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using Elementor for page building, supported by Yoast SEO for search optimization and Contact Form 7 for form management. It integrates Google reCAPTCHA for spam protection and NitroPack for performance optimization. The site uses standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript with jQuery. The presence of structured data (JSON-LD) enhances SEO and content discoverability. Performance is fast with good mobile responsiveness and accessibility considerations. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified but the domain registrar is 123-Reg Limited, a reputable UK registrar. The technical infrastructure is robust with no critical technical debt or risks detected.
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.
