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

Finform AG is a Swiss company specializing in digitalized compliance services tailored for financial institutions, focusing on client onboarding and compliance back-office support. Their unique real-time onboarding process, supported by expert intervention for complex cases, positions them as an innovative service provider in the finance sector. The website reflects a professional and trustworthy image, supported by client testimonials and partnerships with recognized financial entities such as PostFinance AG and Yuh Ltd. Technically, the site is built on the Contao CMS with modern web technologies including Bootstrap, jQuery, and integrates security measures like hCaptcha and HTTPS. Privacy and cookie policies are well implemented, indicating GDPR compliance. However, the absence of a terms of service page and explicit security or incident response policies suggests areas for improvement. Overall, the site demonstrates a strong security posture with no critical vulnerabilities detected, and the WHOIS data aligns well with the business claims, supporting legitimacy.

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 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

  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

Finform AG operates in the finance sector, providing compliance and onboarding solutions primarily to banks and financial institutions. Their business model combines software and service offerings, emphasizing efficiency, legal certainty, and cost reduction. The company leverages partnerships and client testimonials to strengthen market position. The website content and structure indicate a small-sized enterprise with a focused target audience. The use of modern CMS and integration of analytics and marketing tools like Google Tag Manager and Feedbucket reflect a digitally mature infrastructure. The lack of publicly disclosed certifications or security policies may limit trust among highly regulated clients, suggesting potential growth areas in compliance transparency.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with an excellent SSL configuration and integrates hCaptcha to protect its contact form from spam and abuse. Security headers are not explicitly detected in the provided data, representing a potential enhancement area. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were found. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact channels limits transparency in security governance. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be improved by adding explicit security headers, a vulnerability disclosure policy, and incident response information to align with best practices and regulatory expectations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Add a terms of service page to enhance legal completeness and user trust.
  4. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Contao Open Source CMS platform, utilizing modern front-end technologies including Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for scripting, and slick carousel for UI elements. It integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics and Feedbucket for marketing automation. The site is mobile optimized with good accessibility and SEO practices. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and deferred execution to improve user experience. The contact form uses hCaptcha for bot protection, indicating attention to security. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and well-implemented, with opportunities to enhance security headers and formalize security documentation.
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.
