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

Stubben Edge Group Limited operates a sophisticated financial services platform designed to streamline access to insurance, savings, and investment products for brokers, appointed representatives, independent financial advisors, and enterprises primarily in the UK. The platform integrates marketplace offerings, growth services, and APIs to enable users to build, scale, and grow their financial product businesses efficiently. The company positions itself as a scalable and integrated solution provider in the financial services sector, leveraging technology to simplify complex workflows and improve commission earnings. Technically, the website is built on the Webflow CMS platform, utilizing modern web technologies including Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, and advanced JavaScript libraries like GSAP and SplitType.js for animations. The site is hosted likely on Webflow's infrastructure with Cloudflare CDN, ensuring fast performance and good mobile optimization. Accessibility is basic but functional, and SEO practices are well implemented with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and employs bot protection mechanisms such as Google reCAPTCHA and Cloudflare Turnstile on forms. However, it lacks explicit security headers and a published security policy or incident response contact, which are areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Privacy compliance is partial; while a comprehensive privacy policy exists, there is no visible cookie consent mechanism, which may affect GDPR compliance. Overall, Stubben Edge presents a credible and professional online presence with strong business legitimacy and a solid technical foundation. The main risks relate to privacy compliance and security policy transparency. Strategic recommendations include implementing cookie consent, adding security headers, publishing a security policy, and enhancing incident response readiness to strengthen trust and compliance.

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 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  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

Stubben Edge targets the financial services distribution market, focusing on brokers and enterprises needing integrated access to insurance and investment products. Its competitive advantage lies in its all-in-one platform combining marketplace access, growth services, and API integrations, enabling faster transactions and better commission structures. The business model is platform-based, generating revenue through product access, commissions, and embedded services. The company maintains a network of subsidiaries in the UK, Guernsey, and South Africa, indicating regional expansion. Customer testimonials and social media presence support its market credibility. Growth indicators include a focus on regulatory services and embedded insurance offerings, positioning Stubben Edge as a key enabler in the evolving financial services ecosystem.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, bot protection on forms, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. The use of Google reCAPTCHA and Cloudflare Turnstile enhances defense against automated abuse. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security reduces the overall security hardening. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. Privacy compliance is partial due to missing cookie consent mechanisms, which could expose the company to regulatory scrutiny under GDPR. Overall, the security maturity is good but can be improved by adopting additional best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a visible cookie consent banner to ensure GDPR compliance and user transparency.
  2. Add essential security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and tracking technologies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve inclusivity and compliance with accessibility standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Webflow CMS platform, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as GSAP for animations and SplitType.js for text effects, indicating a focus on engaging user experience. Hosting is likely provided by Webflow with Cloudflare CDN integration, ensuring fast load times and global content delivery. Analytics and marketing tools include Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, and Google Tag Manager, enabling comprehensive user behavior tracking and marketing optimization. The site uses Google reCAPTCHA and Cloudflare Turnstile for bot mitigation on forms. While the technical stack is modern and performant, the absence of some security headers and cookie consent mechanisms suggests areas for technical enhancement to meet best practices in security and privacy.
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.
