Risk levelLow

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

Fiducial is a financial services company providing a broad range of advisory and operational services including tax, payroll, bookkeeping, retirement planning, pension management, BPO, CFO outsourcing, and merger and acquisition advice. The company targets businesses and individuals seeking expert financial guidance and support. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with a focus on trust and reliability in the finance sector. Technically, the site employs modern web technologies such as React and service workers, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and tracking, but no advanced security headers or explicit privacy policies were detected, suggesting room for improvement in security and compliance. Overall, the security posture is moderate with no critical vulnerabilities detected, but the absence of privacy and cookie policies and security headers reduces the compliance score. The domain registration data aligns well with the business identity, supporting legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include implementing comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, enhancing security headers, and providing clear contact information for security incidents to improve trust and compliance.

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

Fiducial operates in the finance sector with a service-oriented business model focused on providing trusted advisory and operational financial services. The company appears to have a strong market position as a reliable partner for small to medium businesses and individuals. The website content emphasizes affordability, expertise, and professionalism, targeting clients seeking comprehensive financial management solutions. The use of multiple languages (English and French) suggests an international or multilingual audience. The absence of explicit parent or subsidiary company information indicates Fiducial operates as a standalone entity or brand. The business model likely generates revenue through service fees and consulting engagements. The website's SEO keywords target local and service-specific queries, indicating a focus on regional market penetration and client acquisition.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS, which is mandatory for secure communications. However, no explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, or X-Content-Type-Options were detected in the HTML content, which are important for mitigating common web vulnerabilities. The site uses modern JavaScript frameworks and service workers, which if properly configured, can enhance security and performance. No forms or input fields were detected in the provided HTML snippet, reducing the risk of input-based vulnerabilities but also limiting user interaction. The absence of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security contact information suggests limited incident response readiness. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by adopting best practices in security headers, privacy policies, and incident response mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with explicit consent mechanisms to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Provide clear and accessible contact information for security incidents, including dedicated security or abuse email addresses.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and frameworks to mitigate risks from vulnerable components.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using React and includes service worker registration for progressive web app capabilities. Google Tag Manager is integrated for analytics and marketing tracking. The site uses Weblium CMS, which provides a structured and modular approach to content management. Performance appears moderate with preloading of critical CSS and fonts. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design elements and viewport meta tags. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO is supported by meta tags including description, keywords, and Open Graph tags. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified from the HTML content. There is no evidence of outdated or vulnerable libraries in the provided data. Opportunities exist to improve technical robustness by enhancing security configurations and expanding accessibility compliance.
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.
