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

Deka Institutionell is a German-based financial services provider specializing in institutional asset management and investment solutions. The website targets institutional investors and presents itself as a professional entity in the finance sector. The digital infrastructure includes Adobe Dynamic Tag Management and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. However, the website lacks visible privacy and cookie policies, contact information, and advanced security configurations, which limits trust and compliance assurance. The security posture is basic with no detected security headers or advanced protections. Overall, the website is functional but requires improvements in transparency, security, and user engagement to enhance credibility 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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  2. 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 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';…

  3. 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.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention deka-institutionell.de, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for deka-institutionell.de right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The company operates in the institutional finance sector, likely serving large clients with asset management services. The business model focuses on providing tailored investment solutions to institutional investors. The website's market position appears established but lacks visible trust signals such as certifications or client testimonials. The absence of contact details and privacy policies may hinder customer confidence. The use of Adobe and Google marketing tools suggests an active approach to digital marketing. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries from the provided data.

Security posture

The website currently exhibits a basic security posture. HTTPS is presumably enabled (implied by canonical URL), but no security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, or X-Content-Type-Options were detected. No forms or input fields were found to assess input validation or secure handling. The lack of visible privacy and cookie policies indicates potential compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. Incident response contacts and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are absent, which may delay response to security incidents. Overall, the security maturity is low to moderate, with room for significant improvement.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies clearly accessible on the website.
  2. Add visible and verified contact information including emails and phone numbers for customer and security inquiries.
  3. Implement and configure security headers to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact channels to improve security readiness.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and update third-party libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Adobe DTM and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing, indicating integration with enterprise-level tracking tools. The HTML content is moderately structured but lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features. No CMS or hosting provider information was detected. Performance appears moderate with external font loading and asynchronous script loading. Mobile optimization is basic but present. The absence of structured data (JSON-LD) limits search engine rich results. Technical debt is moderate due to missing security best practices and incomplete compliance documentation.
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.
