Low risk. 3 critical or high findings in Security headers and GDPR outside view.

Security score

78/100

Risk levelLow

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

SoftBank Vision Fund is a leading global technology investment fund focused on supporting founders with capital and ecosystem advantages to build market-leading companies. The website presents a strong brand identity and comprehensive business information, targeting founders, investors, and technology companies. Technically, the site is built on modern frameworks such as Next.js and React, hosted on Microsoft Azure infrastructure, and integrates video content and cookie consent mechanisms. However, the site suffers from a critical security issue with an invalid or missing SSL certificate, despite having HSTS enabled and no major SSL vulnerabilities detected. Privacy and cookie policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, with minimal user tracking by default. Overall, the website demonstrates high professionalism and trustworthiness but requires urgent remediation of SSL issues to ensure secure user connections.

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

3 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"

  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

      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 as an essential entity in the technology investment sector, backed by SoftBank. It maintains a large enterprise presence with a portfolio of high-profile technology companies. The business model revolves around providing capital and ecosystem support to innovative technology startups and scale-ups. The website content and structured data indicate a focus on AI, hardware, infrastructure, and applications as investment themes. The company targets founders and investors globally, with a strong US presence. The partnership ecosystem includes portfolio companies and a dedicated careers site. The site content quality and branding consistency are excellent, supporting a high market position.

Security posture

The current security posture shows strengths in cookie consent management, HSTS enforcement, and absence of known SSL vulnerabilities like Heartbleed or POODLE. However, the invalid SSL certificate and lack of modern TLS protocol support represent significant risks, potentially exposing users to insecure connections. No explicit security policies, incident response plans, or vulnerability disclosure programs are publicly available, indicating gaps in transparency and readiness. The absence of a security.txt file and data protection officer contact further highlight compliance and governance weaknesses. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but requires immediate improvements in SSL configuration and enhanced policy disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Fix and maintain a valid SSL/TLS certificate to secure all user connections.
  2. Enable TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 protocols and disable legacy SSL versions.
  3. Publish clear security policies and incident response procedures on the website.
  4. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program and publish a security.txt file.
  5. Provide contact information for a Data Protection Officer or security team to enhance trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website leverages a modern React-based framework (Next.js) with server-side rendering capabilities. It uses Microsoft Azure DNS services and hosts rich media content including videos via Vimeo. Cookiebot is integrated for cookie consent management, and Google Tag Manager is used for analytics with strict user consent defaults. Despite a large page size and resource count causing slow load times, the site is well optimized for mobile devices and SEO with structured data and Open Graph metadata. Technical risks include the invalid SSL certificate and lack of session resumption mechanisms. Opportunities exist to improve performance and security headers to enhance overall resilience.
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.
