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

Cité Gestion is a Swiss private bank specializing in personalized wealth management solutions for both Swiss and international clients. The bank emphasizes a unique business model that combines the security and regulatory compliance of a FINMA-regulated institution with the flexibility and independence of an agile private bank. With 15 years of experience and CHF 9.5 billion in assets under management, Cité Gestion positions itself as a trusted partner offering bespoke investment solutions and a high-quality operational infrastructure. The website reflects a professional and well-branded digital presence, supporting multiple languages and featuring multimedia content to engage its audience. Technically, the website employs a modern JavaScript technology stack including jQuery, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and reCAPTCHA v3 for security. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices and a cookie consent mechanism that aligns with GDPR requirements. However, some security headers are not visibly implemented, and no explicit terms of service or incident response policies are published, which could be improved. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and integrates Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms. The absence of WHOIS registration data raises some concerns about domain registration transparency, although the website content and business information suggest legitimacy. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from enhanced header policies and published security frameworks. The overall risk assessment indicates a professional and trustworthy financial institution with minor gaps in transparency and security documentation. Strategic recommendations include verifying domain registration details, publishing comprehensive security and incident response policies, and implementing additional security headers to strengthen protection and trust.

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. 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
  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

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

Cité Gestion operates in the competitive Swiss private banking sector, targeting high-net-worth individuals seeking personalized wealth management and financial planning services. Its business model leverages regulatory compliance under FINMA while maintaining operational independence, which differentiates it from larger, more standardized banks. The bank's key competitive advantages include a strong liquidity position, a dedicated team of wealth managers, and a proprietary online platform (MyCGE) developed in partnership with Lombard Odier. The multilingual website and multimedia content indicate a focus on international clientele. The absence of detailed financial disclosures or parent company information suggests a standalone entity with a medium-sized operational footprint. The LinkedIn presence and professional branding support market credibility. Growth indicators include a stable employee base and significant assets under management. The partnership ecosystem is limited in public disclosure but includes technology collaboration with Lombard Odier.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and integration of Google reCAPTCHA v3 to mitigate automated abuse. Cookie consent is implemented with clear messaging, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No public security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure mechanism is found, which limits transparency and preparedness communication. The WHOIS data absence is a notable gap in domain registration transparency, potentially impacting trust. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by publishing security policies, implementing additional HTTP headers, and improving accessibility compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Verify and publish complete domain registration details to improve transparency and trust.
  2. Implement and enforce security headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen site security.
  3. Publish comprehensive security policies including incident response and vulnerability disclosure procedures.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet compliance standards and improve user experience.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of well-known JavaScript libraries and plugins including jQuery, Cycle2 for carousels, Owl Carousel, TweenMax for animations, ScrollMagic for scroll-based effects, and Isotope for layout management. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are used for analytics and marketing tracking, alongside Google reCAPTCHA v3 for form security. The site is served over HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, ensuring encrypted communications. The site is mobile-optimized and supports multiple languages, enhancing accessibility for international users. However, no CMS or hosting provider information is evident from the HTML content. Performance is moderate, with some heavy multimedia content such as embedded videos. The site lacks visible modern frameworks like React or Angular, indicating a traditional multi-page architecture. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security header implementation.
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.
