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

Infront is a well-established provider of market data and trading software solutions, primarily serving the wealth management and trading sectors. With over 35 years of experience, the company positions itself as an industry leader trusted by thousands of businesses and professional users. Their offerings include a broad range of WealthTech solutions such as trading connectivity, portfolio management, APIs and data feeds, valuation and risk services, and news services. The website reflects a mature digital presence built on Adobe Experience Manager, integrating advanced marketing automation and analytics tools to support lead generation and customer engagement. However, a critical security lapse is noted with an expired SSL certificate, which undermines user trust and security posture. The site employs strong security headers and content security policies but lacks some advanced SSL features like OCSP stapling and HSTS preload. Overall, Infront demonstrates a high level of professionalism, branding consistency, and technical sophistication, though immediate remediation of SSL issues is recommended.

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. 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

      Invalid SSL Certificate

      SSL certificate is expired or not yet valid

      What to do: Renew SSL certificate immediately

      • ASVS V12.2.2
      • 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

  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

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

Infront operates in the finance sector, targeting wealth managers, brokers, portfolio managers, and family offices with tailored software and data solutions. Their business model focuses on B2B SaaS and data feed services, emphasizing flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and compliance. The company leverages partnerships with marketing and analytics platforms such as Marketo and Adobe to optimize customer acquisition and retention. Their client base includes major financial institutions, as evidenced by displayed logos. The company actively promotes events and publishes news and reports to maintain industry relevance. Certifications like the Swiss EAM Award and EcoVadis ESG rating enhance their market credibility. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the homepage suggests a controlled lead capture approach via forms and marketing automation.

Security posture

The website implements several security best practices including a robust Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, XSS protection, and strict transport security headers. The use of secure and HttpOnly cookies further strengthens session security. However, the expired SSL certificate is a significant vulnerability that could expose users to man-in-the-middle attacks and erode trust. The lack of OCSP stapling and incomplete HSTS configuration are additional areas for improvement. No evidence of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure program was found, indicating potential gaps in transparency and readiness. The site does not expose direct security contact channels, which could hinder incident reporting and response. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires urgent attention to certificate management and enhanced transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Renew and maintain SSL certificates promptly to ensure secure HTTPS connections and user trust.
  2. Enable OCSP stapling and configure HSTS with includeSubDomains and preload to strengthen HTTPS enforcement.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response information on the website to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program and security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Review and optimize tracking and marketing scripts to balance analytics needs with user privacy and compliance.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager CMS, leveraging Adobe Launch for tag management and Marketo for marketing automation. It uses modern TLS protocols (1.2 and 1.3) but suffers from an expired SSL certificate. Performance is optimized with caching headers and CDN usage. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible with skip links and ARIA roles. Analytics and tracking are extensive, including Adobe Analytics, Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, and third-party marketing tools. The technical stack is mature and enterprise-grade but requires attention to SSL certificate lifecycle management and security transparency to mitigate operational risks.
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.
