The site is hosted behind Cloudflare, uses a valid SSL certificate issued by GlobalSign, and implements multiple security headers and reCAPTCHA on forms, reflecting a strong security posture. However, the absence of modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2/1.3) and lack of DNSSEC implementation suggest areas for security enhancement. Security practices are robust with HSTS enabled, secure cookies, and no detected SSL vulnerabilities. The site maintains comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms, aligning with GDPR and other global privacy regulations. Contact mechanisms include phone and multiple secure contact forms with anti-bot protections. Social media presence and marketing tools are well integrated, supporting extensive user engagement and analytics. Overall, LexisNexis Risk Solutions demonstrates a high level of professionalism, security awareness, and market leadership in financial crime compliance solutions.

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

4 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 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

      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

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

LexisNexis Risk Solutions holds a strong market position as a trusted provider of financial crime compliance and risk management solutions, serving a broad range of industries including finance, government, healthcare, and insurance. Their business model focuses on B2B delivery of data-driven compliance tools and analytics, enabling clients to meet evolving regulatory demands efficiently. The company benefits from a robust partnership ecosystem with multiple specialized portals and product integrations, enhancing their service offerings. Their extensive client base, including top global banks, underscores their competitive advantage and industry reputation. The website content and structure reflect a mature digital presence with clear targeting of financial institutions and related sectors, supported by comprehensive resources and expert engagement opportunities.

Security posture

The security posture of the website is strong, with implementation of key security headers such as HSTS, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection. The SSL certificate is valid, issued by a reputable CA, and uses a 2048-bit key. The site employs secure, HttpOnly cookies with SameSite=None attributes and integrates Google reCAPTCHA to mitigate automated abuse on forms. No known SSL vulnerabilities were detected. However, the lack of support for modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) is a significant gap that could impact secure communications and compliance with best practices. DNSSEC is not enabled, and CAA records appear misconfigured, which could expose the domain to DNS-related risks. There is no publicly visible security policy or incident response contact information, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. Overall, the site demonstrates good security hygiene but has room for critical improvements in encryption protocols and DNS security.

Recommendations

  1. Enable TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 protocols to ensure secure and modern encrypted communications.
  2. Implement DNSSEC to protect against DNS spoofing and enhance domain security.
  3. Correct and properly configure CAA DNS records to specify authorized certificate authorities.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and provide incident response contact channels (e.g., security@ or abuse@ emails).
  5. Enhance accessibility compliance and mobile optimization to improve user experience for all users.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a mature technology stack including ASP.NET MVC framework, Bootstrap for responsive design, and Cloudflare for CDN and security services. It uses Adobe Dynamic Tag Management and Eloqua for marketing automation and analytics integration. Algolia powers the search functionality, enhancing user experience. The site is hosted behind Cloudflare, providing DDoS protection and caching. Performance indicators suggest fast load times, though explicit metrics were not available. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design elements and preconnect/dns-prefetch hints for external resources. The CMS appears to be Sitecore, inferred from data attributes and module names. Technical risks include outdated TLS protocol support and missing DNSSEC, which could affect security and compliance. Overall, the infrastructure supports a scalable, secure, and user-friendly digital presence aligned with enterprise standards.
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.
