Risk levelLow

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

Bird & Bird is a prominent international law firm with a strong global presence, offering a wide range of legal services across multiple jurisdictions. The website reflects a mature digital infrastructure, leveraging Sitecore CMS, Coveo search technology, and comprehensive cookie consent management to ensure compliance and user experience. The firm employs modern analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics and LinkedIn Insight Tag to monitor and optimize visitor engagement. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforcement and cookie consent mechanisms, though explicit security headers and incident response disclosures could be enhanced. The absence of public WHOIS data slightly impacts trust but is likely due to privacy considerations common in professional services. Overall, the website is professional, secure, and compliant, serving its corporate and legal audience effectively.

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. 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"

  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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Bird & Bird operates as a large-scale professional services firm specializing in legal consultancy. Its market positioning as a global law firm is supported by a broad geographic footprint and a comprehensive service portfolio. The business model focuses on corporate clients requiring international legal expertise. The website's integration with advanced search and analytics platforms indicates a strategic investment in digital maturity. The firm maintains a strong brand presence and leverages social media, particularly LinkedIn, for professional outreach. While direct contact details are limited on the site, the presence of contact forms and social links supports client engagement. The lack of visible certifications or security policies suggests an opportunity to further enhance trust and compliance visibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with enforced HTTPS and a robust cookie consent framework that aligns with GDPR requirements. Use of third-party services like Cookiebot and Cloudflare suggests attention to security and performance. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a gap that should be addressed to mitigate risks like clickjacking and cross-site scripting. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly disclosed, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. Overall, the security posture is strong but could benefit from additional hardening and policy disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and explicitly declare security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve incident response transparency.
  3. Enhance visibility of data protection officer contact details and security policies to strengthen compliance and trust.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities or outdated components are present.
  5. Consider adding direct contact information such as verified company emails and phone numbers to improve client accessibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack centered around Sitecore CMS, enhanced with Coveo search capabilities for advanced content discovery. It integrates multiple third-party services for analytics, marketing, and consent management, including Google Tag Manager, LinkedIn Insight Tag, Vimeo, and Spotify embeds. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and accessibility features, with a clean and professional design. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by the use of multiple external scripts and rich media content. Hosting details are not explicit but Cloudflare services are in use, suggesting CDN and security benefits. The technical implementation is robust, supporting a high-quality user experience and compliance with privacy regulations.
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.
