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

Estee Advisors Pvt. Ltd. is a financial services firm specializing in low latency brokerage, market making, and market neutral fund management primarily focused on the Indian markets. Their services include algo trading, NSE colocation, and electronic market making. The website targets qualified employment candidates, vendors, and existing clients, providing general company information rather than direct investment offers. The company maintains offices in India and the USA, indicating an international presence. Technically, the website uses legacy technologies such as PHP 5 and an outdated jQuery version, with minimal modern web practices. The site lacks mobile optimization and accessibility features, and no CMS or advanced frameworks are detected. SEO and content quality are basic, with limited navigation and no structured data or metadata beyond basic keywords and description. From a security perspective, the site shows several weaknesses including the absence of HTTPS enforcement in the provided data, lack of security headers, and use of vulnerable JavaScript libraries. No privacy, cookie, or security policies are published, and no incident response contacts are provided. These gaps expose the site to potential risks and reduce trustworthiness. Overall, the website is functional but basic, with moderate business credibility but significant technical and security shortcomings. Strategic improvements in security posture, privacy compliance, and technical modernization are recommended to enhance trust and operational resilience.

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

10 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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';…

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

Estee Advisors operates in the finance sector with a focus on brokerage and market making services in India. Their competitive advantage lies in low latency trading infrastructure and market neutral fund management. The business model revolves around providing execution services, algo trading platforms, and colocation facilities. The company targets institutional clients, traders, and financial professionals. Subsidiaries include Estee Capital LLC and Estee India Fund, indicating a structured corporate group. The website content suggests a medium-sized enterprise with a moderate market position in Indian financial markets. Partnerships with technology providers like Webtel Technologies are evident, but no direct revenue or growth indicators are disclosed.

Security posture

The current security posture is weak due to outdated technology usage, lack of HTTPS confirmation, and absence of security headers. No formal security or incident response policies are published, and no vulnerability disclosure or data protection officer information is available. The use of legacy jQuery 1.8.2 introduces known vulnerabilities. Forms lack advanced security controls such as CSRF tokens. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates non-compliance with GDPR and related regulations. Overall, the site is at risk of exploitation and does not demonstrate mature security governance.

Recommendations

  1. Upgrade all JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to the latest secure versions.
  2. Implement HTTPS with strict transport security and add essential security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection).
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance details.
  4. Add a formal security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  5. Improve website design for mobile responsiveness, accessibility, and navigation clarity to enhance user experience and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using legacy PHP 5 and includes outdated JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 1.8.2. CSS3 media queries are polyfilled for older browsers, indicating limited modern frontend practices. No CMS or modern frameworks are detected. The site lacks mobile optimization and accessibility features. Performance is moderate but could be improved with updated technologies and better resource management. SEO is basic with minimal meta tags and no structured data. Hosting provider and SSL configuration details are not provided, limiting full technical assessment.
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.
