Risk levelMedium

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

FINANZ is a leading B2B event organizer in the Swiss financial industry, hosting a major congress featuring around 100 expert lectures, panels, and roundtables on current financial topics. The event provides a platform for professional networking and knowledge exchange in an exclusive atmosphere. The website is built on the Wix platform, leveraging Wix Thunderbolt technology, and presents a professional and consistent brand image. Technical infrastructure is modern and supports mobile optimization, though SEO and accessibility could be improved. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and some security best practices, but lacks explicit security policies and incident response information. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the site is trustworthy and legitimate, with room for improvement in privacy and security transparency.

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. 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 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

  3. 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

FINANZ holds a strong market position as the premier financial industry event in Switzerland, targeting B2B professionals. Its business model centers on event organization and networking facilitation, generating value through expert content and sponsor partnerships. The company maintains a medium-sized operation with clear Swiss roots and a focused sector presence. The website supports its business goals with structured data and professional content but lacks advanced marketing and analytics integrations. No suspicious domains or partners were identified, indicating a focused and controlled partnership ecosystem.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and some security headers present. However, it lacks published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The absence of cookie consent mechanisms and privacy policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. The security culture appears basic, with opportunities to enhance transparency and user trust through published policies and improved header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Implement explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Add an incident response page with security contact information (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email).
  4. Introduce a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and SEO optimization to improve user experience and discoverability.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Wix platform using Wix Thunderbolt framework, with modern HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript technologies. It uses JSON-LD structured data for SEO and business information. Hosting is provided by Wix, ensuring reliable infrastructure. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. Mobile responsiveness is good, but accessibility features are basic. No advanced analytics or marketing tools were detected in the provided HTML. The site uses polyfills and security-related JavaScript overrides to harden fetch and XMLHttpRequest calls, indicating some attention to security at the client side.
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.
