Skerryvore Asset Management is a boutique asset management firm established in 2019 in partnership with BennBridge, focusing on responsible investing in emerging markets to generate long-term absolute returns. The company operates primarily in the UK financial sector and targets investors seeking specialized emerging market exposure. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear regulatory disclosures and contact information. Technically, the site is built on Drupal 10 with modern JavaScript libraries and integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools such as Google Analytics, Marketo, and Outbrain, indicating a mature digital marketing approach. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data exposure, though the absence of explicit security headers suggests room for improvement.

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

5 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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 positions itself as a niche boutique asset manager with a focus on emerging markets, leveraging a partnership with BennBridge to enhance its market reach and credibility. Its business model centers on responsible investment strategies aimed at long-term absolute returns, appealing to institutional and sophisticated investors. The presence of regulatory authorizations (FCA and SEC) and detailed disclosures suggests a compliance-focused operation. The website's integration with marketing automation and analytics platforms indicates an active approach to client engagement and lead generation. The partnership with BennBridge is a key strategic asset, and the company maintains a clear UK presence with a physical office in Edinburgh. Growth indicators include a modern website and active content updates, though no subsidiaries or parent beyond BennBridge are indicated.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no visible exposure of sensitive information. However, the absence of common security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others reduces the overall security posture. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are publicly available, which could impact trust and readiness. The use of multiple third-party marketing and analytics scripts introduces potential risk vectors that require ongoing monitoring. Compliance with GDPR is indicated through privacy and cookie policies, but explicit security frameworks or certifications are not mentioned. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a financial services website but could be enhanced by implementing additional security headers and publishing incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  3. Regularly audit and monitor third-party scripts to mitigate supply chain risks.
  4. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data anomaly to improve domain transparency.
  5. Enhance user trust by adding certifications or trust badges related to security and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10, a modern and widely supported CMS, ensuring a solid technical foundation. It uses current versions of jQuery and integrates with multiple marketing and analytics platforms such as Google Analytics, Marketo, and Outbrain, reflecting a mature digital marketing infrastructure. The site is mobile optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices including meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance is moderate, likely influenced by multiple external scripts. There is no indication of hosting provider or CDN usage from the data provided. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which require careful management to avoid vulnerabilities. Overall, the technical implementation is robust with opportunities for performance tuning and enhanced 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.
