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

Velae Legal Group España is a medium-sized international law firm established in 2012, providing comprehensive legal advisory services with a strategic focus. The firm operates primarily in Spain with offices in Madrid, Oviedo, Málaga, and Pontevedra, and has expanded internationally with subsidiaries in Latin America and Europe. Their service offerings cover a broad range of legal sectors including corporate law, litigation, real estate, compliance, and finance. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, targeting corporate clients and businesses seeking legal solutions. Technically, the site is built on WordPress using Elementor and Yoast SEO, offering good mobile optimization and SEO readiness. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled but lacks advanced security headers and public security policies. Privacy compliance is weak due to absence of privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the site is trustworthy and credible but could improve transparency and security practices.

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 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 Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

    • High

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 firm positions itself as a full-service international law firm with a strategic approach to client needs rather than traditional practice area silos. Its growth into multiple countries and partnerships with firms in various jurisdictions indicate a strong network and ambition for global reach. The business model focuses on legal advisory for corporate and commercial clients across diverse sectors such as real estate, finance, transportation, and regulatory compliance. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the homepage suggests a controlled client intake process, possibly emphasizing appointments. The firm’s branding and content quality support a professional market position, though the lack of visible privacy and security policies may affect client trust in highly regulated environments.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, ensuring encrypted communications. However, no security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, or X-Content-Type-Options were detected, which are important for mitigating common web vulnerabilities. There is no public security policy or incident response information, nor a security.txt file for vulnerability disclosure. The site uses common WordPress plugins but no evidence of vulnerability scanning or mitigation was found. Forms and data collection mechanisms are not explicitly detailed, limiting assessment of input security. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing standard security headers, publishing security policies, and enabling vulnerability disclosure channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR-compliant consent mechanisms.
  2. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add a publicly accessible security policy and incident response contact information.
  4. Establish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  5. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using Elementor for page building and Yoast SEO for search engine optimization. The site loads a variety of CSS and JS assets including jQuery and Font Awesome. The design is responsive and optimized for mobile devices. Performance appears moderate with no explicit speed optimizations detected in the HTML. Accessibility features are basic, with room for improvement in ARIA roles and semantic markup. SEO is supported by meta tags, Open Graph data, and structured JSON-LD schema describing the organization and webpage. Hosting provider details are not explicitly disclosed. The technical stack is standard for professional service websites but could benefit from enhanced security and performance tuning.
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.
