Security score

Risk levelMedium

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

Fidelity Investments operates as a leading diversified financial services company based in the United States, offering investment management, financial advisory, and retirement planning services. The website content reflects a mature, enterprise-level business with a strong market position and a clear focus on serving U.S. individuals, while restricting international access through an explicit usage agreement. Technically, the site employs modern JavaScript libraries and analytics tools, though some areas such as mobile optimization and accessibility could be improved. Security posture is solid with HTTPS usage and security overview references, but lacks visible advanced security headers and explicit incident response disclosures. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and compliant with privacy and cookie policies, though WHOIS data is unavailable, likely due to privacy protections.

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

6 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
    • 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';…

  2. 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

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

Fidelity Investments holds a strong market position as a major financial services provider with a broad service portfolio. The business model centers on investment and financial advisory services targeting U.S. customers. The company benefits from a well-established brand and parent company (FMR LLC). The website's international usage agreement and privacy disclosures indicate regulatory awareness and compliance. The presence of multiple analytics and tracking tools suggests a data-driven marketing approach. No suspicious domains or partners were identified, reinforcing the company's credibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with mandatory HTTPS and references to security policies. However, the absence of explicit security headers and incident response contact information limits the security maturity level. The use of multiple third-party analytics and tracking services introduces potential privacy risks that should be managed carefully. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The site would benefit from publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy and enhancing security headers to improve defense-in-depth.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options.
  2. Publish a clear vulnerability disclosure and incident response policy with dedicated contact channels.
  3. Enhance mobile responsiveness and accessibility features to improve user experience and compliance.
  4. Review and optimize third-party tracking scripts to ensure privacy compliance and minimize data exposure.
  5. Consider publishing more detailed business and compliance information to strengthen trust and transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript stack including jQuery 3.7.1 and Segment Analytics for data collection. It integrates third-party services such as Clicktale and Glance for user interaction tracking and co-browsing support. The HTML structure is valid and includes meta tags for SEO and content description, though some meta fields are minimal. Performance is moderate with asynchronous script loading. No CMS or hosting provider information was detected. The site shows basic mobile optimization and accessibility but could improve in these areas. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional financial services website but has room for modernization and enhanced security controls.
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.
