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

Salazar Law is a specialized boutique law firm based in Miami, Florida, focusing on high-stakes financial restructuring, litigation, cryptocurrency-related legal challenges, and government investigations. The firm has a strong market position with over $1 billion in judgments and settlements and over $10 billion in debt restructured, serving businesses and individuals with complex legal needs. Their key services include strategic restructuring, high-stakes litigation, and cryptocurrency litigation and recovery. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image targeting business clients in the finance and legal sectors. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Google reCAPTCHA, and the Foundation CSS framework. The site is mobile optimized with good navigation and SEO practices, though performance is moderate. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and use of reCAPTCHA, but lacks some security headers and explicit privacy and cookie policies, which are areas for improvement. From a security perspective, the site shows no critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, the absence of privacy and cookie policies and incident response information indicates compliance gaps. The WHOIS data is unavailable, likely due to privacy protection, which is common and justified for law firms. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professional but would benefit from enhanced transparency and security best practices. Strategically, the firm should prioritize publishing comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, implement security headers, and provide incident response and vulnerability disclosure information to strengthen compliance and trust. Enhancing accessibility and performance would further improve user experience and SEO effectiveness.

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. 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

Salazar Law operates as a boutique legal services provider specializing in financial restructuring, litigation, and cryptocurrency legal matters. Their competitive advantage lies in their significant track record of high-value judgments and debt restructurings, positioning them as a premier firm in Miami. The business model is service-oriented, targeting corporate clients and individuals facing complex financial and legal challenges. Revenue streams likely derive from legal advisory, litigation services, and possibly contingency fees or retainers. The firm maintains a professional online presence with strategic partnerships for payment processing and web services. Growth indicators include recent awards and media coverage. The partnership ecosystem includes LawPay for payments and PaperStreet for web design, indicating a focus on professional service delivery and client convenience.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms from automated abuse. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents a missed opportunity to harden the site against common web attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Compliance gaps exist due to missing privacy and cookie policies and lack of published incident response or vulnerability disclosure information. There is no visible contact for a data protection officer or security team. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a professional services website but should be enhanced to meet higher compliance standards and improve client trust.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements and implement a cookie consent mechanism.
  2. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve site security.
  3. Provide publicly accessible incident response and vulnerability disclosure information to demonstrate security readiness and transparency.
  4. Include contact information for a data protection officer or privacy/security contact to enhance trust and compliance.
  5. Improve website accessibility features and optimize performance to enhance user experience and SEO.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Google reCAPTCHA, and the Foundation CSS framework, combined with jQuery and Slick Carousel for UI components. The site is mobile responsive with good navigation and SEO meta tags. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and deferred CSS to improve load times. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or static site build. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the HTML content. The site lacks some security headers and explicit privacy-related scripts or banners. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and privacy compliance features.
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.
