Risk levelLow

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

Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. operates a comprehensive investor relations website that serves shareholders, investors, analysts, and other stakeholders. The company is a global fintech leader providing technology-driven solutions for corporate governance, capital markets, and wealth management. The website is professionally designed, content-rich, and well-structured, reflecting a mature digital presence. The technical infrastructure leverages modern JavaScript libraries, Q4 Inc's investor relations platform, and integrates analytics tools such as Google Analytics and Cloudflare Insights. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforcement and anti-CSRF protections, though some security headers could be improved. Privacy and cookie policies are present and GDPR compliant, with clear contact information for investor relations and shareholder services. WHOIS data for the domain is missing, likely due to subdomain usage or proxy registration, which slightly reduces trust but is mitigated by strong corporate branding and linkage to the main Broadridge domain.

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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

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 holds a strong market position as a fintech leader in financial services technology, focusing on mission-critical functions for capital markets and corporate governance. Their business model centers on recurring revenue streams from technology solutions and services. The website targets investors and analysts, providing timely financial reports, news, and events. The company demonstrates consistent growth indicators such as recurring revenue CAGR and dividend increases. The partnership with Q4 Inc for investor relations technology enhances their digital engagement capabilities. The presence of multiple social media channels supports broad investor communication and brand visibility.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and anti-CSRF tokens implemented in forms. Google Analytics is configured with IP anonymization, reflecting privacy-conscious tracking. However, explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not detected, representing an area for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. The absence of a dedicated security policy or incident response contact reduces transparency in security governance. Overall, the site is secure but could benefit from enhanced header policies and a public vulnerability disclosure program.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  3. Enhance cookie consent mechanisms to explicitly obtain user consent in compliance with GDPR and ePrivacy Directive.
  4. Provide a dedicated security policy page outlining frameworks, certifications, and incident response procedures to improve trust.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are included.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on ASP.NET WebForms and leverages the Q4 Inc investor relations platform, integrating multiple JavaScript libraries and widgets for dynamic content delivery. It uses Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking, with Cloudflare Insights for performance monitoring. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features such as ARIA labels and keyboard navigation support. Performance is fast with efficient content loading. The use of anti-CSRF tokens and anonymized IP tracking indicates good security hygiene. Hosting appears to be behind Cloudflare, providing CDN and security benefits. Opportunities exist to modernize security headers and enhance privacy consent mechanisms.
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.
