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

Fondshafen is a specialized asset servicing initiative within the cooperative financial group Volksbanken Raiffeisenbanken, offering custody, fund services, and depot management primarily in Germany, Luxembourg, and Switzerland. The website reflects a mature business with a strong market position supported by the DZ BANK group. Technically, the site is built on Adobe Experience Manager, indicating enterprise-level infrastructure, with moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is moderate but lacks visible security headers and explicit privacy or cookie policies, which are areas for improvement. The domain registration and DNS settings align well with the business, supporting legitimacy. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but could enhance privacy compliance 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

7 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

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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';…

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.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention fondshafen.de, from OffSeq Breach.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Fondshafen operates in the finance sector, targeting cooperative banks, asset managers, and advisors within the DZ BANK group ecosystem. It leverages a full-service model covering custody, fund launching, and depot management. The business benefits from a 60-year history and a top credit rating, positioning it as a stable and reliable partner. The website content and social media presence (LinkedIn) support active engagement with professional audiences. The lack of explicit contact details and privacy policies suggests room for better customer engagement and compliance maturity.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS (implied by canonical URLs and modern web standards) but lacks visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options. No incident response or security policy information is provided. The use of Matomo analytics indicates some privacy-conscious tracking, but absence of cookie consent mechanisms is a compliance gap. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. Security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by adding security headers, privacy notices, and incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Implement and verify security headers to protect against common web attacks.
  3. Add clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for customer and security incident reporting.
  4. Introduce cookie consent mechanisms to comply with privacy regulations.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and analytics tools to minimize vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager CMS, using modern HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript. It includes responsive images and mobile optimization. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in loading speed and accessibility features. SEO basics are covered with meta tags and canonical URLs, but structured data is minimal (only breadcrumb JSON-LD). No advanced frameworks or platforms beyond AEM detected. Hosting provider details are not explicit. The site uses Matomo for analytics, indicating some privacy focus. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and SEO structured data.
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.
