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

Wiley Rein LLP is a prominent law firm based in Washington, DC, specializing in a broad range of legal fields including Election Law, Environment, Government Contracts, Insurance, Intellectual Property, International Trade, Litigation, Telecom, and White Collar Defense. The firm boasts a large team of 260 attorneys and maintains a strong market position as a leading legal service provider with deep government connections. Their business model focuses on delivering specialized legal and regulatory advice to corporate and government clients. The website reflects a professional and authoritative presence consistent with their market stature. Technically, the website employs modern analytics and tracking technologies such as Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar, and Siteimprove Analytics, combined with a responsive design and good accessibility features. The site is well-structured with clear navigation and optimized for SEO, providing a positive user experience. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and includes cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR compliance. However, explicit security headers are not detected, and there is no publicly available security policy or incident response information. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. The WHOIS data is unavailable, likely due to privacy protection, which is justified for a law firm. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be enhanced with additional headers and transparency. The overall risk assessment is low, with the website demonstrating high professionalism, trustworthiness, and compliance. Strategic recommendations include implementing security headers, publishing a security policy, and establishing a vulnerability disclosure process to further strengthen security and 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

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 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
    • 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.

Business context

Business profile

Wiley Rein LLP operates in the legal services sector with a focus on government-related legal specialties. Their competitive advantage lies in their Washington DC location, extensive attorney team, and expertise in complex regulatory areas. The firm targets corporate clients, government contractors, and regulatory bodies requiring specialized legal counsel. Revenue streams likely derive from legal services, consulting, and regulatory compliance support. The firm maintains a strong partnership ecosystem evidenced by media mentions and professional affiliations. Growth indicators include active content publishing, media presence, and event participation. The website supports their market presence with comprehensive insights, resource centers, and career opportunities, reflecting a mature and stable operation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS, cookie consent aligned with privacy regulations, and no visible security flaws in the HTML content. The use of multiple analytics and tracking tools is balanced with user consent mechanisms. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents a gap. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available, which could impact transparency and readiness perception. The WHOIS privacy protection is appropriate for the business type. Overall, the security culture appears professional but could benefit from enhanced transparency and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and stakeholder confidence.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party analytics and tracking tools to ensure compliance with evolving privacy regulations.
  5. Enhance website performance optimization to improve loading speed and user experience, particularly on mobile devices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Hotjar, and Siteimprove Analytics for tracking and performance monitoring. It employs the Slick Carousel library for UI elements. The site is responsive and optimized for mobile devices with good accessibility features. Meta tags and Open Graph data are properly configured for SEO and social media sharing. The site does not explicitly reveal its CMS or hosting provider. Performance is moderate with potential for improvement. No technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. The site uses secure HTTPS connections but lacks some recommended security headers.
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.
