Risk levelLow

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

Nomura is a major financial services holding company headquartered in Japan, offering investment banking, asset management, and related financial services. The website www.nomura.com acts primarily as a frameset redirecting to the main corporate site at nomuraholdings.com. The digital infrastructure includes common analytics and tracking tools such as Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Microsoft Clarity, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. However, the site lacks visible privacy and cookie policies, security headers, and WHOIS domain registration data, which raises concerns about transparency and security posture. The absence of WHOIS data and direct content on the domain www.nomura.com suggests it may be an alias or redirect domain rather than a primary site. Overall, the website is safe and professional but requires improvements in security and compliance documentation.

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

6 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. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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

Nomura operates in the finance sector as a large enterprise with a global presence. The business model focuses on investment banking and asset management services targeting investors, clients, and job seekers. The website's use of frames to load content from nomuraholdings.com indicates a structured corporate web presence with possible multiple domains for different purposes. The lack of visible contact information and policies on this domain suggests a centralized approach to corporate communications on the main holdings site. The company leverages standard analytics and marketing tools but lacks transparency in privacy and security disclosures on this domain.

Security posture

The security posture of the www.nomura.com domain is limited based on the provided data. There is no evidence of HTTPS enforcement or security headers in the HTML content. The site loads multiple third-party analytics scripts asynchronously, which is good practice, but no privacy or cookie consent mechanisms are visible. The WHOIS data is missing, which is unusual for a corporate domain and may indicate privacy protection or a domain alias. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is found. Overall, the security maturity appears basic with significant room for improvement in transparency and technical security controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce HTTPS with a strong SSL/TLS configuration on www.nomura.com.
  2. Publish clear and accessible privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance indicators.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  4. Provide visible contact information and incident response channels including security@ or abuse@ emails.
  5. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to improve trust and transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a frameset to load main content from a related domain (nomuraholdings.com), which may impact SEO and accessibility negatively. The technology stack includes Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, and Docodoco for analytics and user behavior tracking. There is no detected CMS or hosting provider information. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts. Mobile optimization and accessibility are basic but present. The lack of visible security headers and HTTPS information is a technical risk. The site would benefit from modernization to remove framesets and improve direct content delivery and security configurations.
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.
