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

BlackRock Finland's website serves as a comprehensive portal for individual investors, offering a wide range of investment products including mutual funds, ETFs, and educational resources. The site reflects BlackRock's position as the world's largest investment manager, emphasizing financial well-being and market insights tailored for the Finnish market. The technical infrastructure leverages modern JavaScript frameworks, Adobe Analytics, and robust cookie consent mechanisms, indicating a mature digital presence. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforcement and privacy policies clearly stated, although some security headers and explicit incident response contacts could enhance trust 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

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

BlackRock operates as a global asset manager with a strong foothold in Finland and Europe. The website targets individual investors and financial intermediaries, providing tailored investment products and educational content. The business model centers on fiduciary asset management, leveraging technology platforms like Aladdin and iShares ETFs. The company maintains a high market position with extensive regulatory compliance and investor relations transparency. Partnerships and subsidiary domains support investor engagement and recruitment. Growth indicators include active content updates and multi-language support. Strategic observations highlight BlackRock's emphasis on sustainability, private markets, and digital innovation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS, cookie consent, and privacy policies aligned with GDPR. Use of SourceDefense scripts suggests proactive client-side security measures. However, the lack of visible security headers and absence of a published security.txt or explicit incident response contacts indicate areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Compliance with financial regulations is evident through detailed terms and risk disclosures. Incident response readiness could be enhanced by publishing dedicated security contacts. Overall, the security culture appears robust but could benefit from increased transparency and technical hardening.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security.txt file at the root domain to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve security transparency.
  3. Provide explicit incident response contact information (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email addresses) to enhance trust and readiness.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerable components are included.
  5. Enhance user education on privacy and security practices through visible notices and updated policy summaries.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript-heavy front end with deferred loading of scripts and CSS bundles, indicating performance optimization efforts. Analytics are implemented via Adobe Analytics and Tealium, with cookie consent managed by OneTrust. The CMS appears proprietary or custom-built, supporting multi-language and multi-region content. Mobile optimization and accessibility features are well implemented, with ARIA roles and responsive design evident. Hosting details are not explicit, but the use of Apigee API Gateway suggests enterprise-grade backend infrastructure. Performance is moderate, with potential for further optimization in script loading and caching strategies. Overall, the technical stack supports a scalable, secure, and user-friendly experience.
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.
