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

AdviceWorks.net is a digital platform designed to facilitate collaboration between financial professionals and their clients by providing a centralized client portal to view finances, set goals, and track progress. The platform targets financial professionals and their clients, positioning itself as a tool to enhance financial management and communication. The website content is minimal, primarily serving as a client portal entry point with limited public-facing information. Technically, the site uses modern JavaScript modules and is hosted on AWS infrastructure, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. However, the site lacks visible content beyond the portal shell, and no CMS or additional frameworks are detected. Security posture is basic; the domain is registered with a reputable registrar and has a long registration period, but lacks DNSSEC and security headers. No privacy, cookie, or terms of service policies are present, and no contact or incident response information is available, which limits trust and compliance. Overall, the site is functional but minimal, with opportunities to improve transparency, security, and user engagement.

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. 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

  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, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The business operates in the finance sector, providing a client portal platform for financial professionals. The business model appears to be SaaS or platform-based, focusing on financial collaboration tools. The domain age and registration details support legitimacy, but the lack of public business information, contact details, and certifications limits visibility into market positioning and competitive advantages. The platform likely generates revenue through subscriptions or service fees to financial professionals. The target customer segment is financial advisors and their clients. No partnerships or subsidiaries are publicly linked. Growth indicators and strategic partnerships are not evident from the website content.

Security posture

The security maturity level is basic. The domain uses HTTPS (implied by modern web standards, though SSL configuration details are not provided), but no security headers are detected in the provided data. DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended security enhancement. No vulnerability disclosures, incident response contacts, or security policies are published. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps, particularly regarding GDPR. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries are detected, but the minimal content limits comprehensive security assessment. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not visible. Overall, the security posture is functional but requires improvements to meet best practices and regulatory compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies to improve compliance and user trust.
  3. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to strengthen web security.
  4. Provide clear contact information including support and incident response channels to improve transparency and responsiveness.
  5. Enhance mobile optimization and accessibility to improve user experience and broaden accessibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses modern JavaScript ES modules and is hosted on AWS infrastructure, as indicated by the DNS nameservers. The HTML content is minimal, consisting mainly of a root div and linked JavaScript and CSS assets. No CMS or additional frameworks are detected. Performance is likely moderate given the minimal content and modern tech stack, but no explicit performance metrics are available. SEO optimization is basic, with meta description and viewport tags present but no structured data or extensive metadata. Accessibility features are minimal, with no ARIA roles or landmarks detected. The site lacks visible forms or interactive elements on the landing page, limiting data collection and user engagement. Technical risks include lack of DNSSEC and missing 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.
