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

LGT Private Banking is a global private bank with a heritage of over 100 years, specializing in wealth management and sustainable investment solutions for wealthy clients. The website presents a professional and comprehensive digital presence, offering insights, market views, and digital banking platforms tailored for private clients and financial intermediaries. The company emphasizes sustainability and forward-looking investment strategies, positioning itself as a reliable and innovative player in the private banking sector. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including JavaScript frameworks, Piwik PRO analytics, and responsive design ensuring excellent mobile optimization and accessibility. The site is well-structured with clear navigation and rich content, supported by JSON-LD structured data and Open Graph metadata for SEO and social media integration. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and implements a consent management platform for cookies, reflecting good privacy compliance aligned with GDPR. However, explicit security headers are not clearly visible in the HTML, and no dedicated security or incident response policies are published. The WHOIS data is unavailable publicly, which is common in financial sectors for privacy reasons but warrants monitoring. Overall, the website demonstrates a strong digital maturity and trustworthy business presence with minor areas for security enhancement and transparency improvements.

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. 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

  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

LGT operates in the finance and banking sector, targeting high-net-worth individuals and financial intermediaries globally, with a significant presence in Germany. Its business model revolves around private banking, investment solutions, and ultra-high-net-worth individual (UHNWI) services, emphasizing sustainability and innovation. The company leverages digital platforms like LGT SmartBanking to enhance client engagement. Market positioning is strong, supported by awards and a global footprint. The partnership with LGT Venture Philanthropy indicates a commitment to impact investing. The website content and structure reflect a mature organization with a focus on client trust and regulatory compliance.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security posture with mandatory HTTPS usage and a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. The absence of visible security headers in the HTML source suggests potential improvement areas. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The login mechanisms redirect to secure digital banking platforms, indicating secure authentication practices. Lack of explicit incident response or security policy pages limits transparency. Overall, the security maturity is solid but could benefit from enhanced header policies and published security frameworks.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and explicitly declare security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and user trust.
  3. Regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics tools to mitigate supply chain risks.
  4. Consider providing verified company contact emails and phone numbers on the website for improved customer support and credibility.
  5. Monitor WHOIS data and domain registration details to ensure continued legitimacy and detect any suspicious changes.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack with JavaScript, SVG icons, web fonts, and Piwik PRO analytics for data collection. It employs responsive design techniques and accessibility features, ensuring a good user experience across devices. The presence of JSON-LD structured data enhances SEO and content discoverability. Performance is moderate, with preconnect hints to analytics domains improving load times. No CMS or hosting provider details are explicitly detected. The site is well-maintained with no broken elements or errors observed, indicating good technical upkeep.
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.
