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

Laurence Keenan Advocates & Solicitors is a well-established Isle of Man law firm founded in 1992, offering a broad range of legal services including personal, family, and commercial law. The firm targets clients requiring expert legal advice with a global reach, maintaining a professional and consistent brand presence online. The website is built on WordPress using the Foundation framework, incorporating modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Zepto, delivering a moderate performance with good mobile optimization. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, though additional security headers and a cookie consent mechanism would enhance compliance and protection. The absence of social media links and minimal tracking indicates a privacy-conscious approach. Overall, the site reflects a credible and trustworthy legal practice with room for technical and compliance improvements.

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 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
    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

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 niche legal service provider with a strong regional presence and international reach. Its partnership with Legalink and a professional website developer indicates strategic alliances and investment in digital presence. The business model focuses on legal advisory and advocacy, targeting both individuals and commercial clients. The website content and structure support clear communication of services and policies, enhancing client trust. The lack of visible phone numbers or direct contact emails on the homepage suggests a preference for controlled client engagement, possibly via contact forms or direct outreach. The firm’s longevity and consistent domain registration support its market credibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive data. However, the lack of advanced security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and absence of an incident response or vulnerability disclosure page indicate areas for improvement. No signs of vulnerable libraries or insecure forms were detected. The firm should consider implementing a cookie consent mechanism to align with GDPR and other privacy regulations. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not evident from the website content, suggesting potential gaps in transparency or communication of security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish an incident response policy and contact channels for security issues to improve trust and readiness.
  4. Consider adding a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with a Foundation CSS framework and uses common JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Zepto. The site loads scripts asynchronously where possible and uses modern emoji support scripts. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. The site is mobile responsive and has basic accessibility features. SEO is basic with meta viewport and robots tags but lacks Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data for enhanced search engine understanding. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected, indicating minimal data collection. The technical stack is stable but could benefit from modernization and enhanced SEO and accessibility 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.
