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

PANLEGIS (Malta) Ltd is a well-established European company formation agent specializing in forming companies across Norway, Sweden, Germany, Malta, and the UK. The company offers a range of services including company formation, bank introductions, company secretary services, and tax advice, targeting entrepreneurs and business executives seeking simplified legal and corporate solutions. The website reflects a professional business model with a moderate market position supported by multiple national sites and recognized certifications. Technically, the website uses legacy JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 1.4.2 and Cufon font replacement, alongside Google Analytics and reCAPTCHA for user interaction and security. While the site is functional and moderately optimized, it lacks modern security headers and cookie consent mechanisms, which impacts its privacy compliance and security posture. Overall, the website is accessible, informative, and credible but would benefit from technical and security modernization to enhance trust and compliance.

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

7 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

  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 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';…

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

PANLEGIS operates in the corporate services sector, focusing on company formation and related legal services. Its competitive advantage lies in its extensive experience, processing over 12,000 formations annually, and its multi-national presence with dedicated country-specific portals. The business model emphasizes online accessibility and simplified legal products, appealing to both novices and experienced executives. Revenue streams likely include formation fees, registered office services, and advisory services. The company maintains partnerships through its national sites and holds recognized certifications that enhance trust. Growth indicators include a broad service portfolio and recruitment efforts targeting legal and sales professionals. Strategic observations suggest a focus on scalability and cost efficiency through standardized offerings.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with the implementation of Google reCAPTCHA to prevent spam and the use of HTTPS (implied by origin-trial meta tag referencing https). However, the use of an outdated jQuery version introduces potential vulnerabilities. The absence of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security reduces protection against common web attacks. No explicit incident response or security policy information is provided, indicating limited transparency in security governance. Privacy compliance is minimal, lacking cookie consent mechanisms and detailed GDPR adherence statements. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but requires improvements to meet contemporary standards and reduce risk exposure.

Recommendations

  1. Upgrade all JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to current secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection.
  3. Add a visible cookie consent banner and detailed privacy policy updates to improve GDPR compliance and user transparency.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to demonstrate security governance and readiness.
  5. Conduct a security audit and penetration test to identify and remediate any hidden vulnerabilities and improve overall security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website relies on legacy technologies such as jQuery 1.4.2 and Cufon for font rendering, which are outdated and may pose security and compatibility risks. Google Analytics and Tag Manager are used for tracking, and Google reCAPTCHA v2 is implemented for spam prevention. The site lacks modern frameworks or CMS platforms, indicating a custom or static build. Performance is moderate with no explicit optimization for mobile devices beyond basic CSS. SEO is basic with meta tags present but no advanced structured data like JSON-LD or Open Graph tags detected. Accessibility features are minimal. The technical debt is moderate, and modernization opportunities include updating libraries, improving mobile responsiveness, and enhancing SEO and accessibility.
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.
