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

BTG Pactual is the largest investment bank in Latin America, offering a comprehensive range of financial services including investment banking, asset management, wealth management, and corporate banking. The website reflects a strong market position with professional branding and clear targeting of both individual and corporate clients. The company operates primarily in Brazil and serves a large client base with sophisticated financial products. Technically, the website is built on modern frameworks such as Angular and leverages advanced analytics and monitoring tools including Google Tag Manager, Datadog RUM, and Facebook Pixel. Hosting appears to be via Akamai CDN, ensuring fast and reliable content delivery. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices and structured data enhancing search engine visibility. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, implements key security headers, and avoids exposing sensitive data. However, explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not publicly available, and no vulnerability disclosure program is evident. The absence of WHOIS data is notable but does not detract significantly from the overall trustworthiness given the professional presentation and domain usage. Overall, BTG Pactual's website demonstrates a mature digital presence with strong business credibility and technical implementation. Strategic improvements in transparency around security policies and domain registration details would further enhance trust and compliance.

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

9 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"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

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

BTG Pactual holds a leading position in the Latin American financial sector, focusing on investment banking and asset management. Its business model is diversified across wealth management, corporate banking, and investment services, targeting affluent individuals and corporate clients. The company benefits from a strong brand and a broad service portfolio, supported by a robust digital ecosystem. Partnerships and subdomains indicate a segmented approach to market offerings. Growth indicators include extensive use of analytics and marketing tools, suggesting active customer engagement and data-driven strategies.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and no visible vulnerabilities in the front-end code. The use of modern frameworks and secure form handling practices further strengthen security. However, the lack of a published security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents gaps in transparency and readiness. Compliance with GDPR is indicated through privacy and cookie policies, but explicit data retention and incident response details are limited. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved with enhanced policy disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page detailing security practices and compliance frameworks.
  2. Establish and publicize an incident response contact channel (e.g., security@btgpactual.com).
  3. Implement and advertise a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  4. Enhance transparency on data retention and user privacy practices in the privacy policy.
  5. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to improve domain trust signals.

It integrates multiple third-party analytics and marketing tools such as Google Tag Manager, Datadog RUM, Facebook Pixel, and LinkedIn Insight Tag, enabling extensive user behavior tracking and performance monitoring.

No technical debt or deprecated libraries were detected in the analyzed content.
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.
