Risk levelMedium

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

Generis Capital Partners is a French private equity firm specializing in impact investing with a focus on environmental and social responsibility. The company has been active for approximately 15 years and targets financing for SMEs through equity, quasi-equity, and bond loans. The website presents a professional image with detailed business descriptions and partnerships with reputable financial institutions. Technically, the site is built on a site builder platform using older JavaScript libraries and includes a cookie consent mechanism. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but lacks modern security headers and uses outdated libraries. WHOIS data is unavailable, which raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy. Overall, the website is functional and professional but would benefit from improved security practices and clearer privacy and contact information.

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. 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
    • 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';…

  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 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

The company positions itself as a pioneer in impact investing in France, combining financial returns with social and environmental impact. Its business model revolves around providing capital to SMEs and supporting entrepreneurs. The presence of logos from major financial partners enhances credibility. The website content targets investors and SMEs interested in sustainable finance. However, the lack of visible contact details and privacy policies may limit trust for some users. The technical infrastructure relies on a site builder platform, which may limit customization and scalability. The company appears medium-sized with a focused niche in finance.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS and includes a cookie consent mechanism, indicating awareness of privacy and security requirements. However, the use of an outdated jQuery version (1.8.3) introduces potential vulnerabilities. No advanced security headers were detected, and no explicit security or incident response policies are published. The absence of WHOIS data and lack of contact information for security incidents reduce transparency. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by updating libraries, adding security headers, and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Update all JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to current secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish clear privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the main navigation or footer.
  3. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Provide visible contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security-related inquiries.
  5. Verify and update WHOIS registration details to ensure domain legitimacy and transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on a site builder platform (likely Weebly or EditMySite) and uses multiple Google Fonts for typography. It loads jQuery 1.8.3, which is outdated and may pose security risks. CookieHub is used for cookie consent management, and Snowplow and Google Analytics are used for analytics tracking. The site is mobile responsive and has a moderate performance profile. SEO is basic with meta tags and Open Graph tags present but no advanced structured data like JSON-LD detected. Accessibility features are minimal but present. The hosting and CDN are provided by the site builder platform, which may limit advanced customization.
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.
