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

4 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  3. 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, 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 leading German law firm with a broad range of legal services across multiple sectors including energy, healthcare, real estate, transportation, and technology. It operates internationally with offices and partnerships in various countries. The business model focuses on providing specialized legal and tax advisory services supported by digital transformation initiatives such as Legal Tech and AI advisory. The website content and structure indicate a mature organization with a strong brand and multiple awards. The partnership with unyer and presence in Luxembourg suggest strategic international expansion. The firm targets corporate clients and professionals, emphasizing quality, efficiency, and innovation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS assumed but no explicit security headers detected in the provided data. The use of a cookie consent mechanism and disabling cookies in Matomo analytics shows privacy awareness. However, the absence of a published privacy policy, terms of service, security.txt, or incident response contacts limits transparency and compliance visibility. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The firm should enhance security by implementing recommended HTTP security headers, publishing clear privacy and security policies, and providing explicit incident response contacts to improve trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the homepage.
  2. Implement and verify HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Add explicit contact information for security incidents and consider publishing a security.txt file.
  4. Ensure SSL/TLS configuration is strong and regularly audited.
  5. Maintain transparency about data protection officers and GDPR compliance measures.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses TYPO3 CMS, a robust and scalable content management system favored by professional organizations. The front-end leverages Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for interactivity. Additional libraries like Select2 and Slick Slider enhance user experience. Matomo analytics is configured with cookies disabled, reflecting privacy-conscious tracking. The site is well-structured with SEO optimizations including meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. Accessibility and mobile responsiveness are good, supporting a broad user base. Hosting details are not explicit, and no CDN or cloud provider is identified from the data.
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.
