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

Post & Schell, P.C. is a well-established law firm providing legal services and strategic counseling primarily to highly regulated industries and their stakeholders across the United States. The firm operates multiple offices in key regional locations including Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, West Virginia, and Washington, DC. Their core services include litigation, regulatory compliance, business and transactional law, and dispute resolution. The website reflects a mature and professional business with a strong market position and a broad sector focus including energy, healthcare, insurance, financial services, and government sectors. Technically, the website is built on modern web technologies such as Bootstrap, jQuery, and Owl Carousel, ensuring a responsive and accessible user experience. The site is well-structured with comprehensive metadata, Open Graph tags, and JSON-LD structured data that enhance SEO and social media integration. The presence of SOC 2 Type II certification indicates a commitment to information security standards. However, some security headers are missing, and there is no explicit cookie consent mechanism, which could be improved for enhanced privacy compliance. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and secure form practices, but lacks visible security policy or incident response contact information. The WHOIS data for the domain is not publicly available, which raises some questions about domain registration transparency, but the professional content and external trust signals mitigate concerns. Overall, the website demonstrates a strong security posture with room for improvement in privacy and security policy disclosures. Strategically, the firm should focus on enhancing privacy compliance by implementing cookie consent banners and publishing clear security and incident response policies. Improving WHOIS transparency or clarifying domain registration details would also strengthen trust. The website’s design, content qua…

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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  2. 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';…

  3. 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

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

Post & Schell, P.C. holds a significant position in the legal services market, particularly serving highly regulated industries such as energy, healthcare, insurance, and government. Their business model centers on providing specialized legal counsel and litigation services, leveraging over 50 years of operational knowledge. The firm’s multiple office locations across several states indicate a broad geographic reach and client base. Their SOC 2 Type II certification suggests a focus on secure handling of client information, which is a competitive advantage in the legal sector. The firm’s digital presence is professional and content-rich, targeting corporate clients and industry stakeholders. The LinkedIn presence supports professional networking and brand visibility. There is no indication of direct subsidiaries or partners from the website data, but the firm likely collaborates with industry stakeholders and regulatory bodies. Growth indicators include active news and insights publication and a diverse range of practice areas.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and secure form handling. The SOC 2 Type II certification is a strong indicator of adherence to recognized information security standards. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement to mitigate risks like clickjacking and content injection. The lack of explicit security policy or incident response contact information reduces transparency and may impact client confidence in security incident handling. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. Privacy compliance is good but could be enhanced with a cookie consent mechanism and clearer GDPR-related disclosures. Overall, the security posture is strong but not fully comprehensive.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner to comply fully with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Publish explicit security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and client trust.
  4. Clarify domain WHOIS registration details or ensure domain registration information is publicly accessible to enhance legitimacy perception.
  5. Regularly review and update privacy and security documentation to maintain compliance with evolving regulations and standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and widely supported technology stack including Bootstrap 4.3.1 for responsive design, jQuery 3.4.1 for DOM manipulation, Popper.js for tooltips and popovers, Owl Carousel for sliders, and jQuery UI for autocomplete functionality. The site loads external CSS and JS from reputable CDNs ensuring performance and reliability. The HTML structure is valid and includes accessibility features such as ARIA roles and labels. SEO is supported by comprehensive meta tags, Open Graph protocol, and JSON-LD structured data describing the organization, offices, and website. The site is mobile optimized with responsive images and navigation. Performance is moderate with potential for improvement by optimizing image sizes and reducing external dependencies. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Overall, the technical implementation is solid with opportunities for performance tuning and enhanced security configurations.
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.
