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.

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 as a robo-advisor, leveraging its affiliation with Interactive Brokers to provide portfolio management and self-directed trading services. Its business model is based on asset management fees ranging from 0.10% to 0.75%, with no trading commissions. The platform emphasizes socially responsible investing and offers a variety of portfolio themes. Market positioning is strong, supported by multiple industry awards and positive media coverage. The target audience includes retail investors looking for cost-effective, transparent investment solutions. The company maintains a professional online presence with clear legal disclosures and customer support channels. Partnerships with Interactive Brokers and media recognition enhance its competitive advantage.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and employs secure login and sign-up forms, with no exposed sensitive data detected in the HTML content. Cookie consent mechanisms are in place, supporting privacy compliance. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options are not clearly present and should be verified or implemented. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response contacts are published, which could be improved to enhance security transparency and readiness. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from formalized policies and additional header implementations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and ensure compliance.
  5. Enhance user trust by highlighting security certifications and compliance achievements on the website.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a custom CMS or framework using modern web standards including HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, and SVG graphics. It leverages CDN-hosted assets for fonts and images, contributing to fast load times and good performance. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing tracking. The domain is registered with GoDaddy and is mature, consistent with the business age. No CMS like WordPress or Joomla is detected, indicating a bespoke or proprietary platform. Hosting details beyond registrar are not explicit but performance and uptime appear strong. Technical risks are minimal, though ongoing monitoring of third-party dependencies is advised.
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.
