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

PwC China (普华永道中国) operates as a leading professional services firm providing audit, tax, consulting, and advisory services to a broad range of industries. The website reflects a mature digital presence with comprehensive content tailored for Chinese-speaking corporate clients and stakeholders. The company is positioned as a major player in the finance and professional services sector, aligned with the global PwC brand. Technically, the site leverages Adobe Experience Manager CMS, integrates modern analytics and tracking tools, and demonstrates good mobile optimization and accessibility. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, though some security headers and explicit policies could be improved.

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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

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 China targets enterprise clients across multiple sectors including energy, transport, financial services, real estate, and technology. Their business model focuses on delivering high-value professional services such as audit, tax advisory, mergers and acquisitions, and risk management. The website content and navigation emphasize thought leadership, industry insights, and service offerings, supporting client acquisition and retention. The domain is linked to the global PwC network, reinforcing brand trust and market position. The lack of visible direct contact information suggests a focus on client engagement through structured channels. The digital ecosystem includes partnerships with Adobe and Akamai for content delivery and analytics, indicating a robust infrastructure supporting business operations.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and includes cookie consent mechanisms, reflecting compliance with privacy regulations such as GDPR. Security best practices include CSRF protection scripts and use of reputable third-party services. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security or incident response policies represent areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The missing WHOIS data raises a minor concern regarding domain registration transparency but does not currently indicate malicious intent. Overall, the security posture is strong but could benefit from enhanced transparency and additional technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and trust.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider publishing verified company contact information to improve user trust and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager CMS, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Handlebars, and Purify.js for dynamic content rendering and security. It integrates Adobe DTM and Google Analytics for tracking and performance monitoring. Hosting and CDN services appear to be provided by Akamai, ensuring reliable content delivery. The site demonstrates good mobile responsiveness and accessibility features, with structured metadata and SEO optimizations. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in load times and resource optimization. The technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable digital presence suitable for an enterprise-level organization.
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.
