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

GBMfondos is a well-established Mexican financial services company specializing in investment funds and personalized investment advisory through its GBMadvisor platform. With over 35 years of industry experience and recognition such as Morningstar Awards, it holds a strong market position in Mexico's finance sector. The company targets investors seeking accessible and intelligent investment solutions, supported by a mobile application and a comprehensive digital platform. Technically, the website is hosted on Amazon AWS and employs modern tracking and analytics tools including Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and Hotjar, indicating a mature digital marketing strategy. However, performance is slow and some SEO and accessibility aspects are basic. Security-wise, the site uses TLS 1.2 and 1.3 with a strict DMARC policy, but lacks advanced SSL features like HSTS and OCSP stapling, and does not have a published security policy or incident response contacts. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but could improve in security posture and privacy compliance.

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

5 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

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

GBMfondos operates in the finance sector with a focus on investment funds and digital advisory services. Its business model revolves around asset management and providing tailored investment recommendations via the GBMadvisor platform. The company leverages its 35-year legacy and industry awards to maintain competitive advantage. Its target customers are retail investors in Mexico seeking reliable and easy-to-use investment solutions. The company has a strong partnership or affiliation with gbm.com, likely the parent or main corporate entity. Revenue streams likely include management fees from investment funds and digital advisory services. The presence of mobile apps for iOS and Android indicates a focus on customer engagement and retention. The company maintains a professional online presence with consistent branding and trust signals such as regulatory compliance and industry awards.

Security posture

The security posture of GBMfondos is moderate. The domain employs SPF and a strict DMARC policy with reporting, which helps prevent email spoofing. The SSL configuration supports modern protocols TLS 1.2 and 1.3 but lacks HSTS and OCSP stapling, which are recommended for enhanced security and certificate revocation checking. The absence of certificate transparency compliance and no security.txt file reduces transparency and vulnerability management capabilities. No explicit security policy or incident response contact information is published, which may hinder timely communication in case of security incidents. The site is free from known SSL vulnerabilities such as Heartbleed, FREAK, and Logjam. Overall, while basic security best practices are followed, there is room for improvement in advanced security controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload to enforce HTTPS.
  2. Implement OCSP stapling to improve SSL certificate revocation checking and reduce latency.
  3. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve security transparency.
  4. Create and publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  5. Introduce a cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and inform users about tracking.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on Amazon AWS with DNS managed by AWS Route 53. It uses modern TLS protocols (1.2 and 1.3) but lacks some advanced SSL features. The tech stack includes Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and Hotjar for analytics and user behavior tracking. No CMS or web framework is explicitly detected. The site performance is slow with a load time of over 11 seconds and a large page size (~1.1 MB) with 121 resources, indicating potential optimization opportunities. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design and mobile app promotion. SEO and accessibility are basic but functional. The site uses multiple external domains for analytics and social media integration. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from performance tuning and enhanced security features.
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.
