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.

    • 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

  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

PwC Liechtenstein operates within the finance sector, focusing on services for banks, funds, asset managers, and private wealth clients. The business model emphasizes integrated service delivery through collaboration with PwC Switzerland and the global PwC network. The firm maintains a strong market position as a trusted advisor in Liechtenstein's financial services industry. Key revenue streams likely include consulting, audit, tax advisory, and legal services. The target customer segments are financial institutions and high-net-worth individuals. The partnership ecosystem includes PwC Switzerland and the global PwC network, enhancing service capabilities and market reach. Growth indicators include active content publication, podcasts, and insights on regulatory changes. Strategic observations highlight the firm's focus on regulatory compliance, fund management, and digital transformation advisory.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of security headers, and CSRF protection mechanisms. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of publicly available security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure programs suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms are implemented, supporting GDPR compliance. The use of third-party analytics and tracking scripts is moderate and managed with privacy considerations. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by publishing explicit security governance documents and incident response procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and trust.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards and improve user experience for all users.
  4. Strengthen cookie consent mechanisms with more visible and granular user controls.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager CMS, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery, Handlebars.js, Purify.js, JWPlayer, and Vue.js. It uses Akamai CDN for hosting and performance optimization. The site includes structured data (JSON-LD) and Open Graph metadata for SEO and social sharing. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in loading speed. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design elements. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. The technical stack is modern and supports a professional digital presence, though ongoing maintenance and modernization efforts are recommended to sustain performance and security.
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.
