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

ISP Group is a Swiss-based financial services boutique established in 1993, specializing in asset services, investment management, and global markets access. The company targets institutional investors, asset managers, and family offices, offering a broad range of services including digital assets, securitisation, paying agent services, trading, wealth and asset management, and placement agent services. The firm operates globally with offices in Switzerland, Israel, Hong Kong, and Dubai, positioning itself as a trusted partner in the financial sector with strong regulatory compliance evidenced by FINMA licensing and SIX reporting membership. Technically, the website employs modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Alpine.js, and Axios, alongside UI frameworks like Slick and Sly sliders, hosted on Azure DNS infrastructure. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, SEO practices, and performance, though accessibility features are basic. Analytics are implemented via Google Analytics and Tag Manager with a cookie consent mechanism ensuring privacy compliance. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with a strong SSL configuration but lacks DNSSEC and some recommended security headers. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contacts suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. The domain's WHOIS data is consistent with the business claims, showing a long-established domain without privacy protection, enhancing trust. Overall, ISP Group's website is professional, secure, and compliant with privacy regulations, reflecting a credible and trustworthy financial services provider. Strategic enhancements in security policy publication and DNS security would further strengthen its 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.

Priority findings

4 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 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. 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

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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

ISP Group holds a solid market position as a Swiss financial boutique with a diversified service portfolio catering to institutional and professional clients worldwide. Its competitive advantage lies in combining traditional asset services with innovative digital asset offerings and global market access. The business model focuses on high-touch, expert-driven financial solutions, supported by regulatory licenses and depositor protection schemes. Growth indicators include recent news on service expansions and partnerships. The company maintains a professional partnership ecosystem with design and development firms, enhancing its digital presence. Strategic observations highlight the importance of maintaining regulatory compliance and expanding digital asset services to capture emerging market opportunities.

Security posture

The security maturity of ISP Group's website is moderate to high. HTTPS is enforced with a robust SSL setup, and no critical vulnerabilities or sensitive data exposures were found. The presence of cookie consent and privacy policy indicates compliance awareness. However, the lack of DNSSEC and security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents potential gaps. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is publicly available, which could hinder rapid response to security events. The domain registration data supports legitimacy, reducing phishing risk. Overall, the security posture is sound but could benefit from enhanced transparency and DNS security measures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS integrity and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Implement additional HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Consider establishing and publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using a combination of modern JavaScript libraries and UI frameworks, including jQuery 3.6.0, Alpine.js, Axios, Slick Slider, and Sly Slider. It uses Azure DNS for domain name resolution, indicating professional hosting infrastructure. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good SEO metadata including Open Graph tags. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of analytics scripts. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Technical risks are minimal but could be reduced by enabling DNSSEC and improving accessibility compliance. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional and reliable user experience.
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.
