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

Macquarie Group Limited is a global financial services organization with Australian heritage, operating in 30 markets. The company provides diversified services including asset management, banking, advisory, and risk and capital solutions across multiple sectors such as energy, commodities, and infrastructure. The website reflects a mature business with a professional digital presence, targeting corporate clients, investors, and job seekers. The business model is focused on delivering comprehensive financial services globally with a strong market position. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including Adobe Experience Manager CMS, Google Tag Manager for analytics, and OneTrust for cookie consent management. The site is mobile optimized, accessible, and SEO friendly, indicating a high level of digital maturity. Performance is moderate with good user experience and navigation clarity. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, uses security headers, and implements cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. However, the absence of publicly available WHOIS data and lack of explicit vulnerability disclosure or incident response contacts slightly reduce the overall security trustworthiness. Overall, the website is professional, secure, and compliant with privacy regulations, representing a trustworthy financial institution. Strategic recommendations include publishing explicit vulnerability disclosure policies, providing incident response contact details, and enhancing transparency around data protection officer contacts to further 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.

Priority findings

2 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. 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

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

Macquarie Group Limited holds a strong market position as a diversified financial services provider with a global footprint. Its competitive advantage lies in its broad sector expertise spanning renewables, infrastructure, technology, commodities, and energy. The business model leverages asset management, banking, advisory, and capital solutions to serve institutional and corporate clients. Revenue streams likely include asset management fees, banking services, and advisory commissions. The company targets sophisticated investors, corporate clients, and professionals seeking career opportunities. Growth indicators include extensive regional presence and diversified service offerings. The partnership ecosystem includes trusted login and recruitment platforms, enhancing operational efficiency and client engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanisms. No exposed sensitive information or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the lack of publicly available WHOIS data and absence of explicit vulnerability disclosure or incident response information represent compliance gaps. Data protection practices appear robust, but transparency could be improved by publishing security policies and contact channels for incident reporting. The security culture is implied to be strong given the corporate governance and risk management content, but explicit security communication to users is limited.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy to encourage responsible reporting.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information, such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Enhance transparency by listing Data Protection Officer contact details prominently.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate supply chain risks.
  5. Maintain and display relevant security certifications and compliance badges to boost trust.

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager CMS, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager and OneTrust for consent management. The infrastructure supports responsive design and accessibility standards, ensuring good user experience across devices. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in loading times. The technical stack is current and well-maintained, minimizing technical debt. Opportunities exist to improve technical documentation and transparency around security practices. No critical technical risks were identified that would impact business operations.
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.
