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

3 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 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

  3. 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

The business model centers on asset management and direct investments, serving a specialized clientele including family offices and institutional investors. The firm’s market position is that of a boutique investment manager with a focus on transparency and research-driven strategies. Revenue streams likely derive from fund management fees and direct investment returns. The company maintains a professional online presence with GDPR-compliant privacy and cookie policies, and a newsletter subscription mechanism indicating active client engagement. No explicit partnerships or subsidiaries are identified from the website content. The lack of explicit contact emails or phone numbers suggests a preference for controlled communication channels via forms.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and employs cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR requirements, reflecting a mature privacy posture. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not detected, representing an area for improvement. No security policy or incident response information is published, which could hinder transparency in case of security events. The use of third-party scripts like Google Analytics and Mailchimp is managed with user consent, minimizing privacy risks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by publishing formal security policies and implementing additional HTTP security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  2. Add HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration data to ensure accuracy and improve domain trustworthiness.
  4. Include explicit company contact emails and phone numbers on the website to facilitate direct communication and improve business credibility.
  5. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using the Divi theme, leveraging jQuery and Google Tag Manager for frontend functionality and analytics. Mailchimp is integrated for newsletter subscription and marketing automation. The site uses modern web fonts and responsive design techniques to ensure good mobile usability. Performance is moderate, with no significant issues detected in the HTML structure or scripts. Accessibility is basic but could be improved with enhanced ARIA attributes and semantic markup. SEO optimization is good with proper meta tags and structured navigation. No hosting provider information was detected from the HTML content.
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.
