Risk levelLow

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

Ameriprise Financial is a well-established financial services company specializing in financial planning and retirement investment advice through a network of financial advisors. The website presents a professional and user-friendly interface targeting individuals seeking expert financial guidance. The company maintains a strong market position with a clear focus on client trust and security. Technically, the site employs modern JavaScript frameworks, integrates Adobe analytics and OneTrust for privacy compliance, and demonstrates good mobile optimization and accessibility. Security posture is robust with HTTPS enforcement and cookie consent mechanisms, though explicit security headers and incident response contacts could be improved. The absence of WHOIS data is likely due to registry privacy policies and does not detract significantly from the site's legitimacy. Overall, the site reflects a mature digital presence aligned with industry standards.

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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

Ameriprise Financial operates in the finance sector, providing essential financial advisory services. Its business model revolves around personalized financial planning and investment management, targeting individual clients and retirees. The company leverages partnerships, such as ameripriseadvisors.com, to extend its reach. The website content and structure support a strong brand image and trustworthiness, with clear navigation and comprehensive service descriptions. The use of advanced analytics and consent management tools indicates a commitment to data-driven marketing and regulatory compliance. Growth indicators include a well-maintained digital presence and integration of modern technologies.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enabled and visible online security guarantees. Cookie consent and privacy policies are prominently implemented, reflecting GDPR compliance. However, the lack of explicit security.txt files or vulnerability disclosure pages suggests room for improvement in transparency and incident response readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The security score is high, but enhancing header configurations and publishing incident response contacts would strengthen the posture further.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy to improve transparency.
  2. Ensure all recommended security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) are explicitly set and documented.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to avoid vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance WHOIS data transparency if possible to improve domain trust signals.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including React (inferred from react-helmet usage), VideoJS for media, Adobe DTM for tag management, and OneTrust for cookie consent. It integrates Google Maps API and various Adobe analytics extensions. The site is mobile optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices evident from meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in script loading and caching. No CMS was explicitly detected. Hosting provider details are not available from the data. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable web presence.
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.
