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

Advokaadibüroo TARK OÜ is a well-established full-service law firm based in Estonia, operating since 1991. The firm offers a broad range of legal services including corporate law, mergers and acquisitions, banking and finance, competition regulation, dispute resolution, energy, real estate, IT, labor, and tax law. Positioned as a leader in the Baltic legal market, TARK has received multiple industry recognitions and maintains a strong client testimonial presence. Their target audience primarily consists of businesses and professionals requiring comprehensive legal support in Estonia and the Baltic region. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using modern plugins such as Yoast SEO Premium and WPBakery Page Builder. It integrates multiple tracking and analytics tools including Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and LinkedIn Insight Tag. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices, though performance is moderate. Security measures include HTTPS enforcement and Google reCAPTCHA on forms, but lack advanced security headers and explicit security policies. The security posture is solid but could be improved by implementing additional HTTP security headers and publishing incident response and security policies. Privacy compliance is supported by a cookie consent mechanism and a privacy policy page, though terms of service and vulnerability disclosure information are absent. WHOIS data confirms domain legitimacy and consistency with the business location and history. Overall, the website reflects a professional and credible legal services provider with a mature digital presence. Strategic improvements in security policies and technical hardening would enhance trust and compliance further.

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 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';…

  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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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

TARK operates in a competitive Baltic legal market with a focus on corporate and commercial law. Their business model centers on providing high-quality legal consultancy and representation to businesses, leveraging deep sector expertise in energy, finance, real estate, and technology. The firm demonstrates strong market positioning through awards and client testimonials, indicating a trusted reputation. Their digital presence supports lead generation and client engagement via detailed team profiles and news updates. The absence of explicit terms of service and security policies suggests areas for operational maturity. Partnerships with global investors and participation in significant transactions highlight growth and influence in the region.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms, reducing risk of automated abuse. Tracking scripts from Facebook and LinkedIn indicate moderate user tracking. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security reduces defense-in-depth. No incident response or security policy pages are published, limiting transparency and preparedness communication. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a professional services website but could benefit from enhanced headers, documented policies, and regular third-party script audits.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to improve browser security.
  2. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to increase transparency and preparedness.
  4. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate supply chain risks.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet compliance standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with a modern tech stack including Yoast SEO Premium for SEO optimization and WPBakery Page Builder for content management. It uses jQuery and Slick Slider for interactive elements. Analytics and marketing tools include Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and LinkedIn Insight Tag, integrated via asynchronous JavaScript. The site loads moderately fast with mobile optimization and responsive design. Hosting is likely provided by a European DNS and registrar provider (eNom, LLC and Zone.eu). The site lacks advanced security headers and DNSSEC, representing technical debt and security improvement opportunities. Overall, the infrastructure supports a professional online presence but could be modernized with enhanced security and performance optimizations.
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.
