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. 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

  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.

    • 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.

Business context

Business profile

FERI operates in the finance sector, focusing on asset management and investment consulting. Their business model revolves around providing tailored investment solutions and research-driven portfolio management to high-net-worth individuals and institutional investors. The company leverages its independent status as a competitive advantage in the German market. The website's navigation and content emphasize key services such as investment management, consulting, and research, indicating a service-oriented revenue stream. The presence of related domains and subdomains suggests a structured ecosystem supporting client portals and institutional services. The company appears to maintain a medium-sized operation with a strong regional focus in Germany. Strategic partnerships or subsidiaries are implied through related domains. Growth indicators include a professional online presence and integration of advanced analytics and consent management tools, reflecting digital maturity.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and employs cookie consent management via Cookiebot, demonstrating compliance with GDPR and privacy best practices. Analytics tools used include Google Analytics and Microsoft Application Insights, with cookies configured for session and persistent tracking. No critical security headers were detected in the provided data, indicating an opportunity to enhance security by adding headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were found in the HTML content. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact reduces transparency in security governance. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved by formalizing security policies and enhancing HTTP security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page detailing security practices and controls.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information, such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and configure HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries for vulnerabilities and update them accordingly.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and provide more comprehensive contact information on the website.

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript-based front-end with libraries such as Flickity for UI components and Cookiebot for consent management. Analytics integration includes Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Microsoft Application Insights, indicating a robust data collection and monitoring setup. Hosting is managed by Colt, a reputable provider, suggesting reliable infrastructure. The website is mobile-optimized with responsive design elements and includes SEO-friendly meta tags and Open Graph data. However, no CMS or backend framework was explicitly detected. Performance is moderate, with deferred script loading and asynchronous analytics scripts. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and compliant online presence with opportunities for further modernization and security enhancements.
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.
