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

IPConcept is a specialized financial services company focused on fund administration and related services, operating primarily in Luxembourg, Germany, and Switzerland. As a wholly owned subsidiary of DZ PRIVATBANK, it leverages the security and service standards of a large banking institution. The company offers a range of services including private label funds, alternative investment funds, risk management, order management, and performance analysis, targeting asset managers and institutional clients. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear navigation and relevant content for its target audience. Technically, the website employs modern JavaScript libraries and consent management tools, with integration of Google Tag Manager for analytics. However, the site suffers from slow load times and lacks a valid SSL certificate, resulting in no active HTTPS support, which significantly impacts its security posture. The site does implement HSTS and has no major known vulnerabilities like Heartbleed or POODLE, but the absence of proper TLS configuration and certificate transparency compliance are critical issues. From a security perspective, while privacy and cookie policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, the lack of HTTPS and valid SSL certificate is a major risk. Contact information is clearly provided, but no explicit security or incident response policies are found on the site. Overall, the site is functional and professional but requires urgent improvements in SSL/TLS security to protect user data and enhance trust. Strategically, IPConcept should prioritize securing its web infrastructure with valid certificates and modern TLS protocols, improve site performance, and consider publishing explicit security policies and incident response contacts to strengthen its security culture and compliance posture.

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 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 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

IPConcept operates in the competitive financial services sector, focusing on fund administration and related services. Its strong affiliation with DZ PRIVATBANK provides a competitive advantage in trust and service quality. The company targets asset managers, institutional clients, and banks, offering tailored solutions such as private label funds and alternative investment funds. The business model is service-oriented, generating revenue through fund administration, risk management, and reporting tools. The presence of multiple client references and partnerships indicates a stable and growing customer base. The company leverages digital tools for client engagement and marketing but faces challenges in technical infrastructure that could impact user experience and trust. Strategic partnerships and a clear market position in Luxembourg and surrounding regions support its growth potential.

Security posture

The current security posture of IPConcept's website is moderate but with critical gaps. The absence of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols expose the site to risks such as data interception and loss of user trust. While HSTS is enabled, which is a positive security control, the lack of OCSP stapling and session resumption reduces the effectiveness of SSL/TLS. No known vulnerabilities like Heartbleed or POODLE are present, indicating some level of maintenance. Privacy and cookie policies are well implemented with consent mechanisms, supporting GDPR compliance. However, no explicit security policies or incident response contacts are published, which could hinder effective security incident management. Overall, the site requires urgent remediation of SSL/TLS issues and enhancement of security transparency to improve its security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Install and maintain a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS properly and protect user data.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) and disable all insecure protocols to strengthen encryption.
  3. Implement OCSP stapling and session resumption to improve SSL performance and security.
  4. Publish explicit security policies and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and readiness.
  5. Optimize website performance to reduce load times and improve user experience, especially on mobile devices.
Technical notes

Notes

The website uses modern JavaScript libraries such as Owl Carousel and integrates Google Tag Manager and Consentmanager.net for analytics and cookie consent management. The DNS and mail infrastructure is managed by dz-privatbank.com, indicating a stable hosting environment. However, the SSL/TLS configuration is severely lacking, with no valid certificate and no TLS protocols enabled, which is a critical technical debt. The page load time is slow (over 13 seconds) with a large page size (~1.46 MB) and many resources (92), indicating potential for optimization. The site is mobile responsive and has good SEO meta tags and Open Graph data, but accessibility features are basic. Overall, the technical stack is modern but requires urgent security and performance improvements.
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.
