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

Syz Group is a Swiss family-owned private banking and asset management group established in 1996, managing CHF 25.8 billion in assets. The company offers a range of wealth management services including discretionary portfolio management, advisory, digital asset services, and alternative investments. The website is professionally designed using Drupal 10, with good mobile optimization and accessibility. It integrates modern analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and LinkedIn Insight. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, though explicit security headers and incident response information are absent. WHOIS data is missing, which raises transparency concerns but the overall business credibility remains high based on content and branding. Contact is primarily via web forms, with no direct emails or phone numbers published. The site is safe for general audiences with no adult content detected.

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

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 13 days

      What to do: Renew SSL certificate before expiration

      • NIS2 21(2)(h)
      • IR 2024/2690 9.2(c): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 9.2(c): Cryptography
      • NIST SC-17: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-17: Public Key Infrastructure Certificates

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

Syz Group targets high net worth individuals, family businesses, and entrepreneurs with bespoke wealth management solutions. Its market position is that of a medium-sized Swiss private bank with multiple international offices and a strong family ownership narrative. The business model focuses on personalized client relationships and innovative investment opportunities including digital assets. The company maintains a consistent brand presence and leverages social media for outreach. Absence of direct contact details and WHOIS transparency are minor drawbacks. The firm appears stable with audited financial figures and multiple industry awards, indicating a reputable market presence.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses cookie consent banners aligned with GDPR. Tracking technologies are present but managed with user consent. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and absence of published security policies or incident response contacts limit the security maturity. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The restricted access modal for US and certain Canadian residents indicates compliance with regulatory requirements. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved with additional transparency and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Verify and publish domain WHOIS registration details to improve transparency and trustworthiness.
  4. Consider providing direct company contact emails and phone numbers for improved customer trust and communication.
  5. Maintain and regularly audit cookie consent and privacy compliance mechanisms to align with evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10, a modern and secure CMS platform, with integration of multiple analytics and marketing scripts including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and LinkedIn Insight. The site is mobile optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices including meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, likely due to multiple external scripts. No hosting provider information was detected. The technical infrastructure supports a professional and secure online presence but could benefit from enhanced security headers and performance optimization.
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.
