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

Deka Investments is a prominent German asset management company offering professional investment and retirement solutions primarily targeting private customers. The website reflects a strong market position with comprehensive services including funds, certificates, savings plans, and wealth management, supported by multiple industry awards and a close affiliation with the Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe. The digital infrastructure leverages modern JavaScript frameworks such as Vue.js and integrates analytics and marketing tools like Google Tag Manager and eGain Chat, providing a good user experience with clear navigation and mobile optimization. However, the security posture is weakened by the absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of HTTPS support, which is a critical issue for a financial services website. Privacy and cookie policies are well implemented with GDPR compliance and consent mechanisms in place. Contact information is clearly presented with multiple channels including phone, contact forms, and chat. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but requires urgent remediation of SSL/TLS issues to ensure secure communications and maintain user 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.

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

Deka Investments operates in the finance sector with a focus on asset management for private and institutional clients. The company benefits from a strong brand presence and partnerships within the Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe ecosystem. Its business model centers on providing diversified investment products and advisory services, supported by digital tools and platforms. The website content and structure indicate a mature digital presence with targeted offerings for savings, retirement, and sustainable investing. The company leverages partnerships with digital wealth management platforms like bevestor and brokerage services such as S Broker. Growth indicators include active content marketing, newsletters, and a comprehensive service portfolio. The partnership ecosystem is robust, linking to multiple related domains and services that enhance customer engagement and product reach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates partial adherence to security best practices with several security headers configured, including HSTS, X-XSS-Protection, and Content-Security-Policy. However, the lack of a valid SSL certificate and absence of HTTPS/TLS protocols severely undermine the security posture, exposing users to potential interception and data integrity risks. No vulnerabilities such as Heartbleed or POODLE were detected, but the missing encryption is a critical flaw. There is no visible incident response or security policy information, and no security.txt file is present. The site uses secure cookies with HttpOnly and Secure flags, but overall security maturity is low due to the fundamental SSL issue. Immediate action is required to install and maintain a valid SSL certificate and enable HTTPS to protect user data and comply with regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Install and maintain a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 or TLS 1.3) and disable legacy insecure protocols.
  3. Implement OCSP stapling and session resumption to improve security and performance.
  4. Add a security.txt file and publish incident response contact information to enhance transparency.
  5. Regularly audit and update security headers and content security policies to mitigate risks.
  6. Ensure all forms and inputs use secure transmission and validate user data to prevent injection attacks.
  7. Maintain comprehensive privacy and cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR and other regulations.
  8. Enhance monitoring and logging to detect and respond to security incidents promptly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript framework (Vue.js) with custom components for navigation, login, and content display. It integrates third-party services such as Google Tag Manager for analytics and eGain Chat for customer support. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features. Performance metrics indicate slow loading times, possibly due to large images and resource-heavy scripts. The CMS appears proprietary or custom-built, with no common CMS detected. DNS records are properly configured with valid MX and SPF records, but DNSSEC is not enabled. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. The lack of SSL/TLS is a major technical risk. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern but requires improvements in security and performance optimization.
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.
