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

Evelyn Partners is a well-established UK-based wealth management firm offering a comprehensive range of financial planning and investment management services. The company positions itself as a leader in the UK market with significant assets under management and a broad client base including individuals, families, entrepreneurs, and professional partners. Their website reflects a mature, professional business with strong branding, clear service offerings, and multiple client engagement channels including forms and contact options. Technically, the website leverages modern JavaScript frameworks and is hosted on Microsoft Azure, with good SEO and accessibility practices. However, the security posture is weakened by an invalid SSL certificate and lack of modern TLS protocol support, which poses a critical risk to user trust and data security. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear policies and consent mechanisms. Overall, the site is professional and credible but requires urgent remediation of SSL issues to ensure secure client interactions.

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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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

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 operates in the finance sector focusing on wealth management and financial advisory services. It maintains a strong market position supported by decades of experience and a large asset base. The business model centers on personalized financial advice and investment management, targeting high-net-worth individuals and institutional clients. Evelyn Partners has a robust partnership ecosystem, including Bestinvest for DIY investing. The website content and structure indicate a focus on client education, trust-building, and regulatory compliance. Growth indicators include active content updates, awards recognition, and multi-channel client engagement. The company demonstrates a mature digital presence with integrated marketing and analytics tools.

Security posture

The website implements several strong security headers including HSTS with preload, CSP with nonce, and strict referrer policies, which are positive indicators of security awareness. However, the absence of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols critically undermine the security posture, exposing users to potential man-in-the-middle attacks and data interception. The lack of OCSP stapling and session resumption further reduces security and performance. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is publicly available, which could be improved to enhance transparency and trust. Overall, while some best practices are in place, the critical SSL issues must be addressed immediately to protect client data and maintain regulatory compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Immediately renew or fix the SSL certificate to enable valid HTTPS connections.
  2. Enable and configure modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and 1.3) to secure data in transit.
  3. Implement OCSP stapling to improve certificate revocation checking and reduce latency.
  4. Enable session resumption mechanisms such as session tickets or caching for better performance and security.
  5. Publish clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies to enhance transparency and client trust.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including Vue.js and CoreJS, hosted on Microsoft Azure, and managed via Umbraco CMS. It uses a variety of third-party services for analytics, marketing, and user engagement such as Google Analytics, Hotjar, Abtasty, and Typeform. The site is well optimized for SEO, accessibility, and mobile responsiveness, with a clean and professional design. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in load times and resource optimization. The technical debt appears low, but the critical SSL and TLS misconfigurations represent a significant risk to business operations and user trust.
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.
