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

The Alliance of Swiss Wealth Managers is a professional association representing independent wealth management companies in Switzerland. Founded in 2016, it serves as a collaborative platform for sharing knowledge, influencing the industry, and organizing events such as the Custodian Bank Award and annual summits. The association targets wealth managers and clients seeking trusted, independent financial advisory services within the Swiss market. The website reflects a medium-sized organization with a clear focus on finance and wealth management, supported by a professional digital presence built on WordPress and Elementor. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including WordPress CMS, Elementor page builder, and essential addons, with Google Analytics for visitor tracking. The site is well optimized for SEO and mobile devices, with good content quality and structured data markup enhancing search visibility. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in accessibility features and security headers. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and implements cookie consent mechanisms, but lacks published security policies or incident response information. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The WHOIS data is consistent with the business claims, showing a legitimate registration aligned with the association's founding date and location. Overall, the website presents a trustworthy and professional image suitable for its target audience. Strategic recommendations include publishing formal security and incident response policies, enhancing accessibility, and adding security headers to improve the security posture further.

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 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';…

  2. 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

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality

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 Alliance of Swiss Wealth Managers occupies a leading position as a collective of independent wealth managers in Switzerland, leveraging collaboration and knowledge sharing to strengthen their market influence. Their business model centers on membership fees funding events, marketing, and industry awards, targeting wealth management firms managing significant client assets. The association's competitive advantage lies in its network of experienced professionals, continuity, and independence from banks, appealing to clients seeking diversified asset management. Growth indicators include expanding membership and organizing high-profile events. The LinkedIn presence and structured website content support a credible partnership ecosystem and market visibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, reflecting compliance with privacy regulations such as GDPR. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response plan, or security.txt file indicates gaps in transparency and readiness for security incidents. No security headers were detected, which could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. No vulnerable libraries or exposed credentials were found. The site would benefit from formalizing security documentation and enhancing HTTP security headers to mitigate risks and improve trust.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  2. Implement and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.
  3. Add HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Enhance website accessibility to meet WCAG standards for broader user inclusivity.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using the Elementor page builder and Essential Addons plugin, indicating a modern and flexible technical infrastructure. Google Analytics is used for visitor tracking, and Font Awesome provides iconography. The site uses structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO enhancement and Open Graph tags for social media integration. Performance is moderate with some optimization via caching and image compression (PageSpeed hints). Mobile responsiveness is good, but accessibility features are basic. No hosting provider details were identified from the content. The site could improve by adding more advanced security headers and accessibility enhancements.
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.
