73/100

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

Luxembourg for Finance is a government-related agency focused on the development and promotion of Luxembourg's financial services industry. Established in 2008, it serves as a key player in identifying new business opportunities and supporting the financial sector's growth. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, targeting financial industry stakeholders and investors interested in Luxembourg's market. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern plugins such as Yoast SEO and integrates analytics tools including Google Analytics and Piwik PRO. It employs Google Tag Manager and reCAPTCHA for enhanced tracking and security. The site is mobile-optimized and demonstrates good SEO practices, though accessibility features could be improved. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and has implemented cookie consent mechanisms to comply with GDPR. However, it lacks visible security headers and explicit security or incident response policies on the site. The absence of WHOIS domain registration data raises concerns about domain transparency and legitimacy, although the professional content and social media presence mitigate some risk. Overall, the website presents a moderate risk profile with good content quality and technical implementation but requires improvements in privacy transparency, contact information availability, and domain registration clarity. Strategic recommendations include publishing comprehensive privacy and terms of service policies, enhancing security headers, and verifying domain registration details to strengthen trust and compliance.

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

Luxembourg for Finance occupies a strategic position as the official agency for the development of Luxembourg's financial center. Its competitive advantage lies in its government backing and focused mandate to promote the financial sector. The business model revolves around facilitating industry growth and attracting investment through information dissemination and networking. Revenue streams are likely government-funded with possible partnerships. The target customers include financial institutions, investors, and international business partners. Growth indicators include active digital presence and ongoing content updates. The partnership ecosystem includes major social media platforms and analytics providers. Operationally, the agency maintains a professional web presence but lacks direct contact details, which could be improved for better stakeholder engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and Google reCAPTCHA is used to mitigate bot traffic. Cookie consent mechanisms indicate GDPR awareness. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No visible incident response or security policy information is provided, limiting transparency. The missing WHOIS data is a notable compliance and trust gap. There are no detected vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data in the analyzed content. Compliance with GDPR is partial due to missing privacy policy visibility. Overall, the security posture is adequate but requires enhancements in policy transparency and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive and easily accessible privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve transparency and compliance.
  2. Implement and verify HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen web security.
  3. Provide explicit contact information including security incident response contacts to enhance trust and readiness.
  4. Clarify domain registration details and ensure WHOIS data is publicly available or justified by privacy protection policies.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Yoast SEO plugin, indicating a mature SEO strategy. It uses Google Tag Manager and Piwik PRO for analytics, showing a sophisticated approach to data collection and user behavior tracking. The inclusion of Google reCAPTCHA enhances security against automated abuse. External resources include Typekit fonts, Flickity carousel, and FontAwesome icons, contributing to a modern and visually appealing design. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. Mobile responsiveness is good, but accessibility could be improved. The lack of visible hosting provider information limits full infrastructure assessment. Overall, the technical stack is solid but could benefit from enhanced security headers and performance tuning.
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.
