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

Evelyn Partners is a well-established UK-based wealth management firm offering personalized financial planning, investment management, and employee benefits services. The company positions itself as a leader in the UK market with significant assets under management and a long history. Their website reflects a mature digital presence with comprehensive content, professional design, and clear navigation targeting individuals, families, entrepreneurs, and financial intermediaries. Technically, the site uses modern JavaScript frameworks, integrates multiple third-party marketing and analytics tools, and is hosted on Microsoft Azure. However, a critical security gap exists due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS support, which severely impacts the security posture and trustworthiness of the site. Privacy and compliance measures are well addressed with clear policies and consent mechanisms. Overall, the site demonstrates strong business credibility but requires urgent remediation of its SSL/TLS configuration to meet security best practices.

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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

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

The company operates in the finance sector, focusing on wealth management and financial advisory services. It serves a broad client base including individuals, families, entrepreneurs, charities, and financial intermediaries. Evelyn Partners leverages partnerships such as with Bestinvest for DIY investing solutions. The business model centers on personalized advice and investment management, supported by a network of 25 offices across the UK and Ireland. The firm has received multiple industry awards, enhancing its market reputation. The website content and structure support lead generation through multiple contact forms and appointment booking features. The company demonstrates a strong compliance posture with detailed legal and regulatory disclosures.

Security posture

While the website implements several security headers and a strict content security policy, the lack of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols represent a critical vulnerability. This exposes users to risks such as data interception and undermines trust. Cookies are set with secure and HttpOnly flags, and privacy policies are comprehensive. No evidence of incident response contacts or vulnerability disclosure programs was found. The site uses multiple third-party tracking and analytics services, which are disclosed in privacy notices. Immediate action is recommended to install and maintain valid SSL/TLS certificates and enable modern secure protocols to protect user data and comply with industry standards.

Recommendations

  1. Install and maintain a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Enable TLS 1.2 or higher and disable legacy SSL/TLS protocols to improve encryption security.
  3. Implement OCSP stapling and strong cipher suites to enhance SSL performance and security.
  4. Regularly review third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and ensure compliance.
  5. Consider publishing a security.txt file and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern tech stack including Vue.js and Umbraco CMS, hosted on Microsoft Azure. It uses multiple third-party services for analytics, marketing, and user engagement such as Google Analytics, Hotjar, FullStory, Abtasty, and Calendly. The site is mobile optimized and accessible with good SEO practices including meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance data was not available, but the use of preloading and lazy loading indicates optimization efforts. The absence of SSL/TLS is a major technical risk. The site uses a strict Content Security Policy with nonce values to mitigate script injection risks. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern but requires urgent security upgrades.
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.
