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

Meridon Funds operates as a collective investment scheme focused on capital markets and private equity investments. The company is structured as a multi-fund limited liability company under Maltese law and is licensed by the Malta Financial Services Authority, positioning it as a regulated financial entity. The website presents a professional and consistent brand image with clear fund offerings targeting investors interested in alternative assets and long-term capital preservation. Technically, the website is built on Drupal 7 CMS and uses jQuery 1.9.1 along with Google Analytics for visitor tracking. The site is mobile optimized and has a moderate performance profile. However, the use of an outdated jQuery version and lack of visible security headers indicate technical debt and potential security risks. SEO and accessibility features are basic but functional. From a security perspective, the site lacks explicit privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies, which impacts compliance posture. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided. Google Analytics is configured with IP anonymization, which is a positive privacy measure. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers limits user trust and transparency. The domain uses privacy protection in WHOIS, which is common but reduces transparency. Overall, the website is functional and professional but requires improvements in privacy compliance, security hardening, and transparency to enhance trustworthiness and regulatory adherence.

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

10 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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';…

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

  • Email security: 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

Meridon Funds is positioned as a niche financial services provider specializing in multi-fund investment management with a focus on capital markets and private equity. Its licensing by the Malta Financial Services Authority provides regulatory legitimacy. The business model targets sophisticated investors seeking alternative assets and long-term capital growth. The website indicates a small-sized entity with a focused service offering. The partnership with design and programming firms (Side2 and Onkubator) suggests a professional approach to digital presence. Absence of direct contact details and limited public business information may constrain customer acquisition and trust building. No evidence of subsidiaries or parent companies was found. The company appears to maintain a lean operational footprint with a clear market niche.

Security posture

The current security posture is moderate but with notable gaps. The website uses HTTPS (assumed from canonical URLs and external scripts loaded over HTTPS), but no explicit security headers were detected in the HTML content. The use of an outdated jQuery version (1.9.1) introduces potential vulnerabilities. No privacy or cookie policies are present, which is a compliance risk under GDPR. The site lacks published incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, limiting transparency and preparedness. Google Analytics is configured to anonymize IP addresses, which is a positive privacy practice. Overall, the security maturity is basic and would benefit from upgrades to libraries, implementation of security headers, and publication of privacy and security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Upgrade jQuery and all JavaScript libraries to supported, secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement and verify HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  4. Add explicit terms of service and vulnerability disclosure statements to enhance transparency and legal clarity.
  5. Provide direct contact information including company emails and phone numbers to improve user trust and support accessibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 7 CMS, which is an older but still supported content management system. The front-end uses jQuery 1.9.1, which is outdated and may expose the site to security risks. Google Analytics is integrated asynchronously with IP anonymization enabled, indicating some privacy awareness. The site uses multiple CSS imports and responsive design techniques for mobile optimization. No advanced modern frameworks (React, Angular, Vue) or platforms were detected. Performance is moderate with no explicit speed optimizations noted. Accessibility features are basic with skip links and responsive layouts but no ARIA roles or advanced accessibility markup detected. SEO is basic with meta description and keywords but no Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data found.
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.
