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

4 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

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

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 · found on this site
  • 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

Fiera Capital operates as a leading independent investment management firm with a diversified business model targeting institutional investors, financial intermediaries, and private wealth clients. Their competitive advantage lies in their multi-asset investment platform and commitment to sustainable investing. The company maintains a strong partnership ecosystem with multiple subsidiaries focused on specialized investment sectors such as real estate, infrastructure, private debt, and private credit. Growth indicators include recent press releases about strategic expansions, leadership appointments, and significant investment initiatives. The firm’s global footprint and comprehensive service offerings position it well within the competitive asset management landscape.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced site-wide, integration of Google reCAPTCHA on forms to prevent automated abuse, and clear privacy and cookie policies indicating GDPR compliance. The presence of a whistleblowing page suggests an internal security and compliance culture. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and lack of a published security.txt file or dedicated incident response contact email are areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive information were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced with additional headers and formal vulnerability disclosure mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security.txt file at the root of the domain to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  3. Add explicit security incident contact channels (e.g., security@fieracapital.com) to improve incident response readiness.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerable versions are in use.
  5. Enhance transparency around data retention policies and user privacy controls to strengthen GDPR compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern front-end stack including jQuery, Flickity for carousels, Fancybox for modals, and RequireJS for module loading. Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics are used for marketing and analytics purposes. The site is mobile responsive with good accessibility features and SEO optimization. Hosting appears to be on a dedicated or VPS server with IP 66.70.178.94. Performance is moderate, with preloading of fonts and asynchronous loading of scripts. The site uses Google reCAPTCHA for form protection. There is no evidence of outdated or vulnerable libraries in use. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid with room for minor improvements in security headers and performance tuning.
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.
