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

FE fundinfo is a financial services company providing investment data and insights targeted at fund managers, distributors, discretionary fund managers, and financial advisers. The website presents a professional image with a clear focus on analytics and data services such as FE Analytics, fundinfo, Crown Ratings, and Trustnet. The technical infrastructure leverages modern marketing and analytics tools including Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Application Insights, HubSpot, and Cookiebot, indicating a mature digital presence. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and anti-forgery cookies in use, though explicit security headers and policies are not visible. Privacy compliance is well addressed with a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism. However, the absence of WHOIS data for the domain raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy, which slightly impacts the overall trust assessment.

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

No critical or high findings. These medium findings are worth fixing next.

  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.

    • Medium

      Missing X-XSS-Protection header

      Legacy XSS protection (deprecated but still recommended)

      What to do: Add "X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block"

    • Medium

      Missing Permissions-Policy header

      Controls browser features and APIs

      What to do: Implement a Permissions-Policy to restrict feature access

      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Permissions-Policy: accelerometer=(), autoplay=(), camera=(), cross-origin-isolated=(),…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Medium

      Privacy policy may not be GDPR compliant

      Privacy policy lacks explicit GDPR compliance elements

      What to do: Update privacy policy to explicitly address GDPR requirements and user rights

  3. 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.

    • Medium

      No MTA-STS Policy

      MTA-STS enforces TLS for email delivery

      What to do: Implement MTA-STS to prevent downgrade attacks

  4. 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.

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

The company operates in the finance sector, focusing on providing data and analytics services to investment professionals. Its business model revolves around delivering actionable insights and ratings to support investment decisions. The website targets a professional audience including fund managers and financial advisers, positioning itself as a trusted data provider. The use of multiple marketing and analytics platforms suggests active customer engagement and lead generation efforts. The lack of visible contact information and terms of service pages may limit direct customer interaction and transparency. The domain's missing WHOIS data is a notable anomaly that should be investigated further to confirm legitimacy.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enabled and use of anti-forgery cookies to prevent CSRF attacks. Cookie consent is implemented in compliance with GDPR, covering necessary, preferences, statistics, and marketing cookies. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a gap. No visible incident response or security policy information is provided, which could hinder rapid response to security incidents. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved with additional headers and published policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a terms of service page to clarify user rights and obligations.
  4. Provide clear company contact information including emails and phone numbers to improve trust and customer support.
  5. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data issue to ensure domain registration legitimacy and reduce risk.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack with integration of multiple third-party marketing, analytics, and tracking tools including Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Application Insights, HubSpot, SalesLoft, and Cookiebot. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good SEO practices including meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified, but use of Cloudflare cookies suggests CDN or security services. No CMS was detected from the HTML source. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and functional web presence with room for optimization in accessibility and security headers.
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.
