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

Schroders Capital is a global asset management firm specializing in private markets, offering a broad range of investment solutions including Private Equity, Real Estate, Infrastructure, and Private Debt & Credit Alternatives. The company serves professional and institutional investors worldwide, with a strong presence across 25 global locations and managing assets exceeding $99 billion. The website reflects a mature digital presence with comprehensive content, professional design, and clear navigation tailored for its target audience of professional investors. Technically, the site leverages modern frameworks such as Next.js and React, hosted on Amazon Cloudfront CDN, ensuring fast performance and mobile optimization. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforcement and standard security headers, though explicit security policies and incident response information are not publicly detailed. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms. The absence of WHOIS data is a notable anomaly but does not detract significantly from the overall trustworthiness given the brand association and professional presentation.

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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  2. 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';…

  3. 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

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 company operates in the finance sector with a focus on private asset management, targeting institutional and professional investors. Schroders Capital benefits from its parent company Schroders plc's reputation and scale, leveraging subsidiaries and partnerships such as Schroders Greencoat, BlueOrchard, and Future Growth Capital to diversify offerings. The business model centers on delivering long-term investment performance and positive societal impact through specialized private market strategies. The website content and structure indicate a well-established market position with a global footprint and a commitment to sustainability and impact investing. The firm’s digital ecosystem integrates marketing and analytics tools like Google Tag Manager and Tealium, supporting data-driven decision-making and user engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enabled and multiple security headers implemented, reducing common web vulnerabilities. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The presence of cookie consent mechanisms aligns with GDPR requirements, enhancing privacy compliance. However, the site lacks publicly accessible security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure programs, which are recommended best practices for transparency and trust. The WHOIS data absence raises minor concerns but is mitigated by the professional nature of the site and its affiliation with a reputable financial institution.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance frameworks.
  2. Implement and publicize an incident response contact or security@ email address for reporting security issues.
  3. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance transparency by providing data retention policies and detailed privacy compliance statements.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and improve user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including React and Next.js, ensuring server-side rendering and good SEO performance. Hosting on Amazon Cloudfront CDN contributes to fast content delivery globally. The site includes multiple analytics and tag management tools such as Google Tag Manager and Tealium, supporting comprehensive user behavior tracking and marketing optimization. The design is responsive and accessible, with appropriate meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) for enhanced search engine understanding. No technical debt or deprecated technologies were observed. Opportunities exist to improve security transparency and incident response readiness.
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.
