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

6 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Cloudflare

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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

Janus Henderson operates in the finance sector with a focus on asset management and investment services. The business model centers on delivering tailored investment products and advisory services to a global client base. The website's content and structure indicate a large enterprise with consistent branding and a comprehensive marketing ecosystem. The company leverages multiple advertising and tracking platforms to optimize outreach and engagement. While the domain registration details are not publicly available, the brand's market presence and digital maturity suggest a well-established organization with significant market positioning.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and implements key security headers, enhancing protection against common web threats. Cookie consent is managed via OneTrust, supporting GDPR compliance. However, there is no visible security policy or incident response contact information, which are important for transparency and trust. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The use of multiple third-party scripts necessitates ongoing security monitoring to mitigate risks from external dependencies. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be improved with more explicit security governance disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Provide clear contact information for security incidents, such as a security@ or abuse@ email address.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to minimize vulnerability exposure.
  5. Enhance domain registration transparency by ensuring WHOIS data is available and accurate.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using the Understrap theme framework, enhanced with custom plugins and integrations such as Brightcove for video playback and OneTrust for cookie management. It uses jQuery and modern JavaScript libraries for interactivity. SEO is managed via Yoast SEO plugin, and Google Tag Manager orchestrates analytics and marketing tags. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and accessibility features. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by the number of third-party scripts. Technical debt appears low, but continuous monitoring and optimization are recommended to maintain performance and security.
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.
