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

Runa Capital is a well-established global venture capital firm specializing in early-stage investments in software and deep tech startups. With over $600 million in assets under management and a presence in multiple countries, the firm targets deeptech, enterprise software, and fintech infrastructure sectors. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, supported by a modern WordPress infrastructure and comprehensive SEO optimization. The firm maintains multiple global offices, reinforcing its international market position. Technically, the website employs a modern tech stack including Google Analytics, HubSpot, and Cloudflare DNS services, ensuring good performance and mobile optimization. The site is secured with HTTPS and domain registration protections, although DNSSEC is not enabled. Privacy compliance is partially addressed with a clear privacy policy, but lacks a cookie consent mechanism and explicit security policies. Security posture is solid with no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data, but could be improved by adding security headers, vulnerability disclosure policies, and incident response contacts. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional, with moderate user tracking and good advertising transparency. Strategically, Runa Capital should focus on enhancing privacy compliance and security transparency to align with evolving regulatory requirements and improve user trust further.

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. 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, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google APIs

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

  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

Runa Capital operates as a venture capital firm with a focus on early-stage investments in technology startups globally. Its competitive advantage lies in its founding by serial entrepreneurs and a diversified portfolio across 14 countries. The business model centers on providing initial funding checks ranging from $0.5M to $5M, targeting deeptech and fintech infrastructure sectors. The firm leverages a strong partnership ecosystem, including social media and industry presence, to source and support startups. Growth indicators include recent investments and active news updates. The company maintains multiple offices worldwide, indicating a broad operational footprint and commitment to local markets.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and domain registration protections such as clientDeleteProhibited status. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of DNSSEC, security headers, and a published security policy or incident response contact reduces the overall security maturity. Privacy compliance is partial, lacking cookie consent mechanisms and vulnerability disclosure policies. The site uses third-party analytics and marketing tools, which increases the importance of transparent privacy practices. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from enhancements in DNS security, policy transparency, and compliance mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Add security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to improve protection against common web attacks.
  5. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting and improve transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern and optimized tech stack including Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, HubSpot, and LazyLoad for images. It uses Cloudflare for DNS services, contributing to performance and security. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good accessibility features. SEO is well implemented with Yoast SEO plugin and structured data (JSON-LD) for enhanced search engine understanding. Performance is fast with asynchronous loading of scripts and CDN usage. Technical debt appears low, but the absence of DNSSEC and some security headers indicates room for modernization in security practices.
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.
