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

3 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

Goldman Sachs operates in the finance and banking sector, targeting institutional investors, corporations, and affluent individuals. Its business model centers on investment banking, securities trading, and asset and wealth management. The company benefits from strong brand recognition, extensive service offerings, and a global footprint. The website supports these strengths with detailed content, trust signals such as certifications, and professional communication channels. The absence of WHOIS data is a minor anomaly but does not detract from the company's credibility. The firm likely uses privacy or registry protections for domain registration, common among large enterprises.

Security posture

The website exhibits a high security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and no visible vulnerabilities in the provided content. The presence of incident response contacts and security policies indicates readiness for security events. Compliance with GDPR and other regulations is evident through privacy and cookie policies. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Recommendations include maintaining up-to-date third-party components and enhancing public incident response visibility to further strengthen security posture.

Recommendations

  1. Maintain continuous updates and patching of all third-party libraries and frameworks to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  2. Enhance transparency of incident response procedures and provide clear public guidance for security incidents.
  3. Regularly audit security headers and SSL/TLS configurations to ensure ongoing compliance with best practices.
  4. Implement advanced monitoring for potential phishing or domain spoofing attempts given the missing WHOIS data.
  5. Strengthen user privacy controls and data retention disclosures to align with evolving regulatory requirements.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack including React and Next.js, supported by Akamai CDN for global content delivery. Performance monitoring is implemented via Boomerang, and Adobe Launch is used for tag management. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices and accessibility, with valid HTML and CSS. SEO practices are solid with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary solution. The technical infrastructure supports a fast, secure, and user-friendly experience suitable for a global financial institution.
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.
