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

Fait Internet Software GmbH is an Austrian FinTech company with over 20 years of experience specializing in digital solutions for wealth management and securities advisory. Their offerings include a modern securities advisory tool (PIA), a comprehensive suite of APIs for financial institutions, and digitalization projects tailored for asset management and private banking. The company targets banks, FinTechs, and insurance firms, positioning itself as a trusted niche player in the German-speaking financial technology market. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS with modern frontend libraries such as Bootstrap and jQuery, and integrates Google services like Maps and Analytics. While the site is well-structured, mobile-optimized, and SEO-friendly, it suffers from critical security shortcomings due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols, severely impacting its security posture. Privacy compliance is strong, with GDPR-aligned cookie consent mechanisms and comprehensive privacy policies. Overall, the business presents a professional and credible front but must urgently address its SSL/TLS deficiencies to ensure secure communications and maintain 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

5 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

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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

  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

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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 a B2B SaaS and API-driven business model, offering financial software and data services primarily to banks, FinTechs, and insurance companies. Its competitive advantages include a long-standing market presence, a broad API portfolio, and partnerships with reputable financial and technology firms such as SIX Group. The firm emphasizes rapid integration, flexibility, and domain expertise. Revenue streams likely derive from software licensing, API usage fees, and consulting services. The partnership ecosystem is robust, enhancing market reach and credibility. Growth indicators include continuous product development and digitalization projects. The company maintains a clear brand identity and consistent messaging focused on digital transformation in wealth management.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with well-configured security headers and a restrictive content security policy. However, the lack of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols represent critical vulnerabilities that expose users to potential interception and data compromise. The absence of OCSP stapling and session resumption further weakens the security posture. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available, indicating potential gaps in transparency and preparedness. GDPR compliance is evident through cookie consent and privacy policies, but the technical security gaps must be addressed to fully protect user data and maintain regulatory compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate immediately to enable HTTPS and secure user data.
  2. Enable TLS 1.2 or higher protocols and configure strong cipher suites to protect data in transit.
  3. Implement OCSP stapling and session resumption to improve security and performance.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency.
  5. Regularly audit and update security headers and content security policies to mitigate emerging threats.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a mature CMS (TYPO3) and modern frontend frameworks (Bootstrap, jQuery, Fancybox, Swiper) to deliver a responsive and user-friendly experience. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. However, performance metrics are missing or zero, suggesting a need for performance monitoring and optimization. The absence of HTTPS is a critical technical debt that undermines all other security measures. The integration of Google services is done with user consent mechanisms in place, reflecting good privacy practices. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but requires urgent security upgrades and performance validation.
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.
