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

Moray & Agnew is a prominent Australian national law firm with a large team of over 700 professionals, including more than 110 partners. The firm specializes in a broad range of legal services including insurance law, commercial litigation, construction, corporate, property, workplace, government, and health sectors. It operates from multiple offices across major Australian cities, serving both domestic and international clients. The website reflects a mature, professional legal services business with comprehensive content and strong market positioning. Technically, the website is built on ASP.NET WebForms with elcomCMS as the content management system. It uses modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and integrates Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile optimized, accessible, and SEO friendly, though performance is moderate. The presence of secure HTTPS and absence of exposed sensitive data indicate a good security posture, although security headers could be improved. From a security and compliance perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses secure form submissions. However, it lacks a cookie consent mechanism which is important for GDPR compliance. WHOIS data is privacy protected, which is common and justified for a professional law firm. No suspicious or malicious indicators were found. Overall, the site demonstrates a strong security posture with room for improvement in privacy compliance and security headers. The overall risk assessment is low with a high trustworthiness score. Strategic recommendations include implementing cookie consent, enhancing security headers, adding a security.txt file, and maintaining transparency in privacy practices to further strengthen compliance and 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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

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

Moray & Agnew holds a leading position in the Australian legal market, particularly known for insurance law and commercial dispute resolution. Its diversified service offerings and multiple office locations indicate a robust business model targeting corporate clients, government entities, and specialized sectors like health and construction. The firm leverages thought leadership through extensive publications, media releases, and insights, enhancing its market presence and client engagement. The business model is professional services with revenue streams from legal consulting, litigation, and advisory services. The firm’s partnership ecosystem and active media presence suggest strong growth and competitive advantages in the legal sector.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and secure form handling. No sensitive data leakage or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a gap. The lack of a cookie consent mechanism is a compliance risk under GDPR. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available, which could be improved to enhance transparency. Overall, the security maturity is good but could benefit from enhanced header implementation and privacy compliance measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and incident reporting.
  4. Enhance transparency by providing a public security policy and incident response contact information.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and improve user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a mature ASP.NET WebForms platform with elcomCMS as the CMS. It uses jQuery 3.5.1 and integrates Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile responsive and accessible with good SEO practices including meta tags and structured navigation. Performance is moderate, likely due to the use of older frameworks and multiple scripts. There is an opportunity to modernize the tech stack to improve loading speed and maintainability. No critical technical risks were identified, but updating to newer frameworks and optimizing assets could enhance user experience and operational efficiency.
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.
