Norton Peskett Solicitors · Other · United Kingdom
High risk. 7 critical or high findings in Network security, SSL/TLS and 2 other checks.
Norton Peskett Solicitors is a well-established law firm based in East Anglia, UK, with a history dating back to the 1830s. The firm offers a comprehensive range of legal services to both individuals and businesses, including criminal defence, family law, employment law, residential and commercial property, injury claims, mediation, and wills and probate. With multiple branch offices and over 120 experienced employees, Norton Peskett holds a strong regional market position supported by numerous accreditations and client testimonials. The website reflects a professional and trustworthy business with clear contact information and a user-friendly design. Technically, the website is built on WordPress 7.0 with modern SEO and analytics tools such as Yoast SEO, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Hotjar. It employs HTTPS with good SSL configuration and uses Google reCAPTCHA to secure forms. Cookie consent mechanisms and a privacy policy indicate GDPR compliance. However, some security headers are not explicitly detected, and no dedicated security policy or incident response contact is published. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates good practices including HTTPS enforcement, anti-phishing warnings, and form protection. The absence of WHOIS data is unusual but likely due to querying the subdomain 'www' rather than the root domain. Despite this, the business legitimacy is supported by consistent branding, accreditations, and detailed contact information. Overall, the site scores well on content quality, technical implementation, security posture, privacy compliance, and business credibility. Recommendations include implementing comprehensive security headers, publishing a security policy and incident response contacts, and adding a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures. These steps would enhance the security posture and trustworthiness further.
Scanned
NIS2 Art. 21(2)
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.
7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.
Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.
Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer
What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication
TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.
Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1
What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions
These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.
GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage
What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes
GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies
What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit
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.
Forces HTTPS connections
What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"
Prevents clickjacking attacks
What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"
Controls resources the browser is allowed to load
What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.
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.
Counted in this score
Not counted
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.
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, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Automated reading of the public site. Ratings are indicative.
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.
