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

Policastri Law Firm is a small, specialized legal services provider based in Rockville, Maryland, focusing on complex litigation matters. The firm positions itself as client-centered, offering professional and compassionate legal representation. The website is built on the Wix platform, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity with a professional design and basic SEO implementation. The technical infrastructure includes modern JavaScript libraries and error monitoring via Sentry, but lacks advanced security headers and privacy compliance features. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled, but the absence of privacy policies and WHOIS data raises concerns about transparency and trust. Overall, the website is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced compliance and security measures.

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

5 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

    • 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

  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 targets individuals and businesses requiring expert litigation services, operating in the legal services sector. The business model is service-based, relying on client engagements for revenue. Market positioning is that of a small, client-focused law firm with a niche in complex legal matters. There is no evidence of partnerships, subsidiaries, or parent companies. The website content is consistent and professional, supporting credibility. However, the lack of visible contact details and privacy policies may limit client trust and engagement. The firm could improve its digital presence by adding comprehensive compliance documentation and clearer contact information.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS, which is a fundamental security requirement. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No forms or input fields were detected, reducing attack surface, but also limiting user interaction. The use of Sentry indicates some level of monitoring for errors. The absence of privacy and cookie policies suggests compliance gaps, particularly with GDPR. No incident response or security contact information is provided, which is a best practice for transparency and trust. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved with standard security headers and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common attacks.
  3. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to improve transparency and trustworthiness.
  4. Include clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for client and security incident reporting.
  5. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted and built on the Wix platform, leveraging Wix's infrastructure and content delivery networks. It uses modern JavaScript libraries and polyfills to support browser compatibility. Performance is moderate, with some optimizations possible in loading and accessibility. The site is mobile optimized and has a clear navigation structure. SEO is basic but includes meta tags and Open Graph data. The absence of security headers and privacy compliance features indicates technical debt in security and legal compliance areas. The domain's WHOIS data is missing, which is unusual and should be addressed to avoid trust issues.
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.
