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

FGS Global Inc is a leading global stakeholder strategy firm founded in 2018, specializing in crisis and issues management, government affairs, policy advocacy, strategy and reputation, and transaction and financial communications. The company operates with a strong market position supported by a majority equity stake acquisition by KKR, indicating robust financial backing and growth potential. Their services target organizations and leaders seeking to influence and succeed in high-stakes situations worldwide. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with comprehensive content tailored to their audience. Technically, the website is built on modern frameworks including Next.js and React, hosted on Google Cloud infrastructure, and managed via the Storyblok CMS. It demonstrates excellent performance, mobile optimization, and good accessibility features. The presence of Google Tag Manager and a consent management platform indicates a mature approach to analytics and privacy compliance. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS with a strong SSL configuration and uses security best practices such as consent management. However, it lacks explicit security headers and published security policies or incident response contacts, which could be improved. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The domain registration details are consistent and legitimate, supporting the trustworthiness of the business. Overall, FGS Global's digital presence is professional, secure, and compliant with privacy regulations, positioning it well for continued growth and client trust. Strategic improvements in security policy transparency and DNS security could further enhance their security posture.

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

3 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.

    • 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.

    • 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.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

FGS Global holds a strong market position as a global stakeholder strategy firm with a diverse sector focus including financial services, government, energy, transportation, real estate, technology, health, and retail. Their business model centers on providing integrated communication campaigns and bespoke solutions to influence key stakeholders. The acquisition by KKR signals financial strength and strategic growth. The company targets high-level organizational leaders and decision-makers, leveraging deep expertise and global reach. Their partnership ecosystem includes major investment firms and a broad client base. Growth indicators include recent governance restructuring and expanded service offerings. The website content and social media presence reflect a mature and professional operation with clear branding and messaging.

Security posture

FGS Global demonstrates a solid security posture with mandatory HTTPS, good SSL configuration, and use of consent management tools. The absence of DNSSEC is a minor gap in DNS security. Security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options are not explicitly present, representing an area for enhancement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the website content. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency and readiness perception. Overall, the security maturity is good but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced header configurations to mitigate risks further.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and verify security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.

Notes

The website is built using Next.js and React frameworks, indicating a modern and scalable architecture.

Performance is optimized with preloading of CSS and JavaScript chunks, and the site is mobile responsive with good accessibility features. SEO is supported by comprehensive meta tags including Open Graph and Twitter cards. The use of Google Tag Manager and a consent management platform reflects a mature approach to analytics and privacy compliance. No technical debt or legacy technologies were detected, positioning the site well for future enhancements and scalability.
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.
