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

Speedinvest is a well-established European venture capital firm focused on funding early-stage technology startups across multiple sectors including deep tech, fintech, health, climate tech, marketplaces, and SaaS. With over €1 billion under management, the company provides not only capital but also hands-on support and access to a broad network of founders and industry experts. The website reflects a professional and comprehensive digital presence, targeting founders and startups seeking early-stage investment and growth support. Technically, the site is built on Webflow and hosted via Cloudflare, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as GSAP and jQuery for enhanced user experience. However, the site suffers from critical security shortcomings, notably the absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS, which severely impacts its security posture and trustworthiness. Cookie consent is managed effectively via Cookiebot, ensuring GDPR compliance and transparency in data collection practices. Overall, while the business model and content quality are strong, the lack of HTTPS and security headers represents a significant risk that should be addressed promptly.

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

8 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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';…

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

Speedinvest positions itself as a leading European VC with a sector-focused investment approach, enabling deep industry expertise and tailored support for startups. The firm’s business model combines capital investment with operational support and network facilitation, enhancing portfolio company success. The website highlights multiple investment verticals and growth-stage funding, indicating a broad market reach and diversified portfolio. The presence of EU financial backing signals credibility and alignment with strategic European innovation initiatives. The company maintains active social media channels to engage with the startup ecosystem and broader audience. Despite the absence of explicit contact details on the homepage, the site provides extensive legal and policy documentation, reinforcing professionalism and compliance. The slow page load time and large resource count suggest opportunities for technical optimization to improve user experience and SEO.

Security posture

The security posture of the website is currently weak due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS support, exposing users to potential data interception and undermining trust. No security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or HSTS are implemented, increasing vulnerability to common web attacks. While Cookiebot is used for cookie consent management, ensuring GDPR compliance, the lack of HTTPS is a critical flaw. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available, and no security certifications are indicated. The domain registration is mature and well-protected, which supports business legitimacy but does not compensate for the website’s technical security gaps. Immediate remediation of SSL/TLS and security headers is recommended to enhance protection and user confidence.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire website.
  2. Implement essential HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and HSTS with preload and includeSubDomains.
  3. Optimize website performance by reducing page load time and resource count to improve user experience and SEO.
  4. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to demonstrate security maturity and readiness.
  5. Maintain and regularly update cookie and privacy policies to ensure ongoing compliance with GDPR and other regulations.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Webflow CMS, hosted on Cloudflare infrastructure, and utilizes JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and GSAP for animations and interactivity. Cookie consent is managed via Cookiebot, integrating detailed cookie declarations and user controls. Despite a modern tech stack, the site suffers from slow load times (21.7 seconds) and a large number of resources (124), indicating potential technical debt or unoptimized assets. The absence of HTTPS and security headers is a major technical risk. SEO is supported by comprehensive meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility features such as focus-visible outlines and responsive design are present, contributing to a good user experience on mobile devices. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern but requires security and performance improvements to meet best 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.
