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. 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

  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

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

The company holds a strong market position as a trusted private bank with a decade-long recognition as Best UK Private Bank. Its business model focuses on bespoke financial solutions tailored to affluent clients and professional partners such as lawyers and tax advisers. The firm leverages a global investment approach unrestricted by in-house funds, emphasizing sustainable investing aligned with UN SDGs. Growth indicators include active recruitment and multiple international offices. The partnership ecosystem includes regional Nedbank sites and an API marketplace, supporting digital innovation and client engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of security-conscious iframe attributes, and a comprehensive cookie consent framework. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of a public security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents gaps in transparency and readiness. The integration of multiple third-party analytics and marketing scripts necessitates ongoing vigilance to mitigate supply chain risks. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by formalizing policies and incident channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security controls and practices.
  2. Establish and publicize incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ emails.
  3. Implement a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosures.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts to minimize supply chain vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance HTTP security headers explicitly and verify their presence via server configuration.

Notes

The website is powered by WordPress CMS with Gravity Forms for data collection and uses jQuery and Owl Carousel for UI components. It integrates advanced marketing and analytics tools including Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Hotjar, Facebook Pixel, Twitter tags, and LinkedIn Insight. Cookiebot manages cookie consent with granular control. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive images and accessible design features. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in load times by optimizing third-party scripts. The technical infrastructure supports a professional and secure user experience, though hosting provider details are not explicit.
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.
