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

Swan advokater DA is a Norwegian law firm established in 2015, providing legal services primarily to both corporate and private clients across Norway. Their expertise spans multiple legal areas including advisory, negotiation, dispute resolution, and litigation. The firm is positioned as a regional player with a focus on the Asker and Bærum areas but offers services nationwide. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear contact information and service descriptions tailored to their target audience. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using common plugins such as Yoast SEO and Jetpack, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. The site is reasonably optimized for SEO and mobile devices, with good navigation and user experience. However, the absence of HTTPS in canonical URLs and lack of visible security headers highlight areas for improvement in security configuration. From a security perspective, the site implements a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR principles but lacks a dedicated privacy policy and security incident response information. No advanced security frameworks or certifications are evident. The overall security posture is moderate but requires enhancements to meet best practices, particularly regarding SSL implementation and security headers. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional but would benefit from improved security measures and comprehensive privacy documentation to enhance compliance and user trust.

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

10 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 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

      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

Swan advokater DA operates as a small-sized legal services provider in Norway, targeting both business and private clients. Their competitive advantage lies in their experienced legal team and broad coverage of legal domains. The business model is service-based, relying on client engagements for advisory and litigation services. The firm maintains a clear online presence with structured data and social media linkage, supporting client acquisition and brand visibility. Growth indicators include a well-maintained website and active content updates via a blog. The partnership ecosystem includes social media engagement but no evident strategic partners or subsidiaries. The firm’s operations appear stable and focused on regional market penetration with potential for national expansion.

Security posture

The current security maturity of Swan advokater DA’s website is moderate. Key strengths include the implementation of a cookie consent banner and absence of exposed sensitive data. However, critical gaps exist such as the lack of HTTPS on canonical URLs, absence of security headers, and no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies. These gaps could expose the firm to risks including data interception and reduced user trust. Compliance with GDPR is partial, with cookie consent but no privacy policy. The security culture appears basic, with room for improvement in proactive security measures and transparency. Addressing these issues will reduce risk and enhance the firm’s reputation for safeguarding client information.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS across the entire website and update all URLs to use secure protocols.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy detailing data handling and GDPR compliance.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Establish and publish an incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy.
  5. Regularly update WordPress core and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform with common plugins including Yoast SEO for search engine optimization and Jetpack for analytics and performance enhancements. The site uses jQuery and standard web fonts from Google Fonts. Hosting appears to leverage WordPress.com CDN services, contributing to moderate performance. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design elements and accessible navigation. However, the lack of HTTPS and security headers indicates technical debt in security configuration. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected. Opportunities exist to modernize security infrastructure and improve privacy compliance to align with industry standards.
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.
