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

FinanzAgenda is a digital public affairs platform operated by Union Investment Gruppe, a large and established asset management company in Germany. The website provides transparent and comprehensive information about the political activities and positions of Union Investment, targeting private, institutional, and real estate customers as well as political stakeholders. The platform offers newsletters, podcasts, and detailed content on national and European financial topics. Technically, the site uses modern JavaScript modules and web components, hosted behind Cloudflare DNS services, but lacks a valid SSL certificate, which significantly impacts its security posture. Privacy compliance is supported by a Usercentrics consent management platform, and contact information is clearly provided. However, the absence of HTTPS and security headers represents a critical security gap.

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

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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. 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"

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

Union Investment positions itself as a key player in the German finance sector with a strong focus on public affairs transparency. The business model centers on asset management combined with political engagement and communication. The company leverages a broad partnership ecosystem within the genossenschaftliche FinanzGruppe and maintains multiple related domains for different customer segments. The website content is professionally curated, supporting brand consistency and trust. The presence of newsletters and podcasts indicates active customer engagement and content marketing strategies. The company targets a large customer base with over four million clients, indicating a large enterprise scale.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is low due to the lack of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS support, exposing users to potential data interception risks. No security headers or DNS security extensions are implemented, and no incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are publicly available. Privacy compliance is partially addressed through a consent management platform, but the absence of DMARC and DNSSEC reduces domain security. The site does not expose sensitive data or show signs of malware, but the missing HTTPS is a critical vulnerability that must be addressed immediately to protect user data and maintain trust.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Configure DNSSEC, DMARC, and CAA records to enhance domain security and prevent spoofing.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize vulnerabilities and ensure privacy compliance.
Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern frontend stack based on StencilJS web components and ES modules, with extensive use of proprietary CMS components from Union Investment. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, providing robust infrastructure. However, the site suffers from very slow load times (over 18 seconds) and a large number of resources (303) and page size (~340 KB), indicating potential optimization opportunities. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO meta tags are well implemented. Accessibility is basic but present. The lack of HTTPS and security headers is a major technical risk. The site integrates Usercentrics for cookie consent and Webtrekk for analytics, reflecting a mature approach to user tracking and privacy management.
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.
