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

Swiss Fund Data AG operates a professional online platform providing comprehensive data, documents, and market insights related to investment funds approved for public distribution in Switzerland. The company targets Swiss residents interested in investment funds, including both qualified and private investors, and offers personalized services such as the MyFunds user account. The website is positioned as a trusted publication organ approved and supervised by FINMA, reinforcing its credibility in the Swiss financial market. Technically, the website employs a traditional but stable technology stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, and Google Analytics for tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with good navigation and content quality. However, some JavaScript libraries are outdated, and no explicit security headers are detected, which could be improved. The site uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration, but personalized data transmission is unencrypted, which is a notable security risk acknowledged in the legal disclaimers. From a security perspective, the website demonstrates moderate maturity with HTTPS enforcement and privacy-conscious analytics configurations such as IP anonymization. However, the lack of security headers and unencrypted personalized data exchange represent vulnerabilities. No explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are present. Privacy policies are comprehensive and GDPR-compliant, with clear data protection officer contact information. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and compliant with relevant privacy regulations, but it could benefit from enhanced security controls and clearer incident response provisions to strengthen its security posture and user trust.

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 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

  4. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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

Swiss Fund Data AG holds a strong market position as a FINMA-approved publication organ serving the Swiss investment fund sector. Its business model focuses on providing free access to fund data, market statistics, and personalized user services, targeting Swiss residents interested in investment funds. The company leverages partnerships with data providers like SIX Exfeed and integrates advertising networks such as DoubleClick. The platform's competitive advantage lies in its comprehensive data coverage and regulatory approval, which enhances trust among users. Growth potential exists in expanding personalized services and improving digital security. The absence of phone contact suggests a primarily digital engagement model. The company maintains a consistent brand and professional content, supporting its credibility in the finance industry.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and privacy-conscious analytics configurations. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. The unencrypted transmission of personal data in the MyFunds area poses a significant risk of data interception. No explicit incident response contacts or vulnerability disclosure policies are provided, limiting transparency and readiness for security incidents. The legal disclaimers acknowledge these risks and place responsibility on users for data transmission. Overall, while basic security practices are in place, there is room for improvement to meet higher security standards and compliance requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance web security.
  2. Encrypt all data transmissions in personalized user areas (MyFunds) using HTTPS with strong TLS configurations to protect user data.
  3. Establish and publish an incident response contact email and vulnerability disclosure policy to improve transparency and security readiness.
  4. Update JavaScript libraries and dependencies regularly to mitigate risks from known vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance cookie consent mechanisms to comply fully with GDPR and improve user privacy controls.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a stable but somewhat dated technology stack centered on jQuery 1.12.4 and Bootstrap for UI components. Google Analytics (both Universal and GA4) is integrated for user tracking, alongside advertising scripts from DoubleClick and Decentriq. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good navigation clarity. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts to improve speed. No CMS is explicitly detected. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. The site lacks modern security headers and uses unencrypted data transmission in personalized areas, representing technical debt and security risks. Opportunities exist to modernize the stack, improve security configurations, and enhance accessibility features.
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.
