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

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  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"

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 business operates as a sole legal practitioner offering essential legal services primarily to local clients in Austria. Its competitive advantage lies in personalized, integrity-driven legal counsel and a clear communication style. The business model is service-based, relying on client engagements for legal representation and advice. The website content and structure suggest a focus on private individuals and small businesses. There is no indication of partnerships or subsidiaries. The firm maintains a consistent brand image and professional content quality, supporting a high trust level among its clientele.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture for a small business, with HTTPS enforced and secure form handling. The absence of security headers and public security policies represents an area for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The cookie consent mechanism and privacy policy indicate GDPR awareness. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not publicly visible, which is common for small firms but could be enhanced to improve trust and compliance. Overall, the security risk is low but could be mitigated further with standard best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  3. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and dependencies.
  4. Enhance website accessibility to meet WCAG standards for broader user inclusivity.
  5. Consider adding social media or professional network links to increase visibility and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with standard web technologies without reliance on major CMS platforms or frameworks, indicating a custom or lightweight solution. Performance is moderate with preloading of critical CSS and JS assets. The site is mobile responsive and SEO optimized with appropriate meta tags and Open Graph data. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected, suggesting minimal user tracking. The hosting provider and infrastructure details are not explicitly available. Technical debt appears low, but modernization with security headers and accessibility improvements is recommended.
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.
