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

3 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.

    • 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

    • 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

  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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

Business profile

White & Case LLP operates as an essential entity in the legal services sector, focusing on finance, government, and other industries. Its business model revolves around providing high-value legal counsel on complex cross-border transactions and regulatory matters. The firm targets large enterprises, governments, and financial institutions, leveraging a global footprint and a strong brand. Revenue streams likely include legal advisory fees, consulting, and specialized services. The firm maintains a robust partnership ecosystem and demonstrates growth through awards and recognitions. The website supports business intelligence by showcasing thought leadership, insights, and client resources, enhancing market positioning and client engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of a published security policy or incident response information indicate areas for improvement. There is no evidence of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file. Compliance with GDPR is indicated through privacy policies and cookie management. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be enhanced by adding transparency and formal security governance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish explicit HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Create and make publicly available a comprehensive security policy and incident response plan.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Provide clear contact information for security incidents or abuse reporting.
  5. Regularly review and update privacy and cookie policies to maintain compliance with evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10, a modern and widely supported CMS, indicating a mature technical infrastructure. It integrates Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Demandbase, and OneTrust for analytics, marketing, and privacy compliance. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in loading speed. No critical technical debt or vulnerabilities were detected in the HTML content. The absence of hosting provider information limits full infrastructure assessment. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional and scalable web presence suitable for a global law firm.
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.
