Security score

79/100

Risk levelLow

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

POELLATH is a professional law firm with a website built on Drupal 10, targeting corporate clients and business sectors primarily in Germany. The site demonstrates a modern digital presence with GDPR-compliant cookie consent managed by Usercentrics and tracking via LinkedIn Insight. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data raises questions about domain legitimacy, though the website content and design indicate a credible business. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced, but lacks explicit security headers and published privacy or incident response policies. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced transparency and compliance documentation.

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

2 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 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

The firm operates in the legal services sector, focusing on corporate and business law. The website targets professional clients and likely generates revenue through legal consulting and representation. The use of Drupal CMS and Usercentrics for consent management suggests investment in compliance and user experience. The lack of visible contact details and WHOIS data may indicate privacy protection or incomplete public information. The firm appears to maintain a consistent brand and professional online presence, positioning itself as a reputable player in its market segment.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses a recognized consent management platform, indicating awareness of privacy and security requirements. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security or incident response policies represent gaps. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The missing WHOIS data is a concern for domain legitimacy verification. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved with better transparency and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service on the website.
  2. Add explicit contact information including security and incident response contacts.
  3. Implement and configure security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  5. Verify and update WHOIS registration information to improve domain trustworthiness.

The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good SEO meta tags. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts.

Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional business website with room for security enhancements.
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.
