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

Algebris Investments is a global asset manager specializing in thematic and specialized investment strategies. The company targets professional and private investors with a range of funds and insightful market research. Their market position is that of a medium-sized, globally focused asset manager headquartered in Italy. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with comprehensive content and clear navigation. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern technologies including Yoast SEO, Cookiebot for consent management, and Akamai CDN for performance optimization. The site is mobile-optimized and uses service workers for enhanced user experience. SEO and accessibility are adequately addressed, though accessibility could be improved further. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and implements standard security headers. Cookie consent mechanisms are in place, supporting GDPR compliance. However, there is no publicly available dedicated security policy or incident response information, which could be improved to enhance trust and transparency. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with no detected vulnerabilities or suspicious elements. The domain registration details align well with the business claims, supporting legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include publishing a security policy, providing incident response contacts, and adding a vulnerability disclosure mechanism to further strengthen security posture and compliance.

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

5 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

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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';…
  4. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Potential Subdomain Takeover

      Subdomain staging.algebris.com points to unregistered service ec6d9e4a07474a3f1a40fa9aea8b1b33-1845715911.eu-west-2.elb.amazonaws.com

      What to do: Remove or fix CNAME record to prevent subdomain takeover

      • WSTG-CONF-10
      • NIS2 21(2)(i)
      • IR 2024/2690 12.4: Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 12.4: Asset inventory
      • NIST CM-8: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-8: System Component Inventory

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

Algebris Investments operates in the finance sector as a specialized asset manager with a focus on thematic investment strategies. Their business model revolves around managing investment funds and providing market insights to professional and private investors. The company maintains a strong digital presence with multilingual support and a content-rich website. Their partnership ecosystem includes social media platforms like LinkedIn and YouTube, enhancing brand visibility. Growth indicators include regular publication of market views, podcasts, and press releases. The company emphasizes sustainability and corporate responsibility, reflecting current market trends and investor interests.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of security headers, and cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information represents a compliance gap. The lack of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file limits transparency for security researchers. Overall, the security culture appears adequate but could benefit from enhanced communication and formalized policies to improve incident readiness and stakeholder trust.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or publish a security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to improve inclusivity and compliance.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Tiny Slider, and Cookiebot for cookie management. It leverages Akamai CDN and service workers for performance and reliability. SEO is managed via Yoast SEO plugin with structured data (JSON-LD) for enhanced search engine understanding. The site is mobile responsive and uses Google Tag Manager and LinkedIn Insight for analytics and marketing. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. Technical risks are minimal but depend on maintaining up-to-date plugins and scripts. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and formalize security-related documentation.
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.
