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

QUODD is a global market data provider specializing in tailor-made financial data products delivered via a cloud-based platform. The company targets a broad range of financial professionals and institutions, including banks, asset servicers, fintech startups, and risk analytics teams. Their offerings include a digital platform, APIs, and a comprehensive data catalog with real-time and historical pricing, reference data, and fundamentals. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and integrates modern marketing and analytics technologies, reflecting a mature digital presence. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data raises concerns about domain legitimacy and transparency. Additionally, the lack of visible privacy and cookie policies suggests room for improvement in compliance and user trust. Overall, QUODD presents as a credible and established player in the financial data market with a strong technical foundation but should enhance transparency and compliance documentation.

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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

QUODD holds a strong market position serving over 1,800 institutions with modular and customizable market data solutions. Their business model focuses on flexible delivery formats and pricing, appealing to both large financial institutions and early-stage fintech companies. The company leverages cloud infrastructure (likely AWS) and HubSpot CMS for content management and marketing automation. Their ecosystem includes integrations with various analytics and tracking services, supporting data-driven marketing and customer engagement. The lack of WHOIS data and explicit compliance documentation could impact trust among privacy-conscious clients. Strategic partnerships or subsidiaries were not identified in the provided data.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses multiple security and analytics scripts responsibly, indicating a good security posture. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, explicit security headers were not confirmed, and no incident response or security policy pages were found. The absence of a security.txt or vulnerability disclosure page limits transparency for security researchers. Privacy compliance is basic, with no visible cookie consent banners or detailed privacy policies. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be improved by publishing comprehensive security and privacy documentation and enhancing user consent mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies prominently on the website to improve GDPR and global privacy compliance.
  2. Add a terms of service page to clarify user agreements and legal protections.
  3. Implement a visible cookie consent mechanism to ensure user awareness and compliance with privacy laws.
  4. Provide clear contact information for security incident reporting and designate a data protection officer if applicable.
  5. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data issue to enhance domain legitimacy and trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on HubSpot CMS, utilizing modern web technologies including Google Fonts, Google Analytics 4, Google Tag Manager, and marketing tools like CallRail and Lead Forensics. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Hosting appears to be on AWS or a similar cloud provider, supporting scalability and performance. The technical implementation is robust with no visible errors or broken elements. Opportunities exist to improve security header implementation and to document security and privacy practices more explicitly.
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.
