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

Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. is a global fintech leader specializing in business transformation through next-generation technologies. The company provides critical solutions in corporate governance, capital markets, and wealth and investment management, targeting investors, shareholders, analysts, and students. Their market position is strong with a focus on recurring revenue and comprehensive investor relations services. The website reflects a mature digital presence with extensive financial disclosures, investor communications, and sustainability reporting. Technically, the site is built on ASP.NET WebForms and leverages Q4 Inc.'s investor relations platform, integrating modern JavaScript libraries and analytics tools. The security posture is solid with HTTPS enforcement, anonymized IP tracking, and anti-CSRF protections, though it lacks some advanced security headers and explicit incident response information. Privacy compliance is well addressed with comprehensive policies, though cookie consent mechanisms could be improved. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and well-optimized for its audience, but the absence of WHOIS data introduces some uncertainty in domain legitimacy.

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

2 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';…

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

Broadridge operates in the finance and technology sectors, delivering fintech solutions that enable corporate governance and capital markets operations. Their business model revolves around providing SaaS and technology-enabled services with a strong emphasis on recurring revenue streams. The company targets institutional investors, shareholders, and financial analysts, supported by a robust ecosystem of investor communications and regulatory filings. Growth indicators include consistent dividend increases and strong revenue retention. The partnership ecosystem includes Q4 Inc. for digital investor relations technology. Strategic observations highlight Broadridge's leadership in fintech innovation and its commitment to sustainability and governance.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced site-wide, use of anti-CSRF tokens in forms, and anonymized IP tracking in analytics. However, there is no evidence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options, which are recommended for enhanced protection. The absence of a published vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file limits transparency in security incident handling. No incident response contact information is provided, which could hinder timely reporting and mitigation of security issues. Overall, the security practices are good but could be improved by adopting additional headers, explicit incident response channels, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Provide clear incident response contact information to facilitate communication in case of security incidents.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate risks from vulnerable libraries.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a mature ASP.NET WebForms framework integrated with Q4 Inc.'s investor relations platform, utilizing JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Slick Carousel for UI enhancements. Analytics are implemented via Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager with IP anonymization, reflecting a privacy-conscious approach. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement by optimizing script loading and reducing external dependencies. The technical infrastructure supports a professional investor relations experience but could benefit from modernization efforts to adopt newer web standards and frameworks.
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.
