nic.pictet

We performed a comprehensive analysis of nic.pictet on 2026-07-01. The website returned an HTTP 200 status code with a server response time of 7893ms. The page is served over HTTP/2 protocol with Gzip compression enabled, achieving approximately 60.0% size reduction. The total page weight is 96 KB. The website uses a secure HTTPS connection with a valid SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt (DV type). The connection is encrypted using TLS 1.2 with the ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256 cipher suite and ECDSA-SHA384 signature algorithm. The certificate covers 1 domain(s) (Subject Alternative Names) and expires on 2026-07-25, which is 24 days from now. The security headers analysis reveals a score of 50/100 (moderate). The following security headers are properly configured: Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options. However, the site is missing Content-Security-Policy, Referrer-Policy, and Permissions-Policy, which could expose the site and its users to cross-site scripting (XSS), clickjacking, and other web-based attacks. Based on our comprehensive analysis of domain age, SSL configuration, email authentication, security headers, and blacklist status, nic.pictet receives an overall trust score of 74/100, classified as "Likely Safe".

After conducting a thorough safety and legitimacy analysis, nic.pictet receives a trust score of 74/100, which places it in the "Likely Safe" category. This score is calculated by evaluating multiple factors including SSL certificate validity, domain registration history, email authentication protocols, security header configuration, and blacklist status across major threat intelligence databases. The analysis identified several positive trust signals: a valid HTTPS connection protecting data in transit, HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security) enforcement preventing protocol downgrade attacks, a valid SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt with 24 days until expiration, DMARC email authentication with a reject policy — the strongest available setting, DNSSEC providing authenticated DNS responses, and a well-established domain registered for over 11.9 years, indicating long-term commitment and legitimacy. Areas of concern include: the absence of a Content-Security-Policy header, which leaves the site more vulnerable to cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, missing Referrer-Policy, potentially leaking URL information to third parties, and the domain's WHOIS information is hidden behind a privacy service, making it harder to verify the owner's identity. While these issues don't necessarily indicate malicious intent, they represent areas where the website's security posture could be improved. We checked nic.pictet against 8 major blacklist databases including Google Safe Browsing, Phishtank, Urlhaus, Openphish, Dnsfilter, Spamhaus Dbl, Surbl, and Virustotal. The domain passed all 8 checks with a clean status, meaning it has not been flagged for phishing, malware distribution, spam, or other malicious activities by any of the tested threat intelligence providers. The domain is registered through Registry Operator acts as Registrar (9999) based in CH, with a registration date of 2014-08-13 and expiration date of 2026-08-13.

Our automated technology detection scan was unable to identify specific technologies on nic.pictet. This could indicate that the site uses server-side rendering without client-side technology fingerprints, employs aggressive code obfuscation, or uses custom-built solutions that don't match known technology signatures.

nic.pictet delivers its homepage in 7893ms (server response time), which is considered slow by industry standards. The total page weight is 96 KB, and we detected 210 resource requests loading assets from 11 third-party domains. A high number of third-party domains can significantly impact page load time due to additional DNS lookups and TLS handshakes required for each domain. The website uses Gzip compression for text-based assets, achieving an estimated 60.0% reduction in transfer size. This reduces bandwidth usage and improves page load times, especially for visitors on slower connections. Asset minification status: 1 out of 1 CSS files and 4 out of 5 JavaScript files are minified. Minifying the remaining 1 unminified file(s) could further reduce page weight by 10-30% for those assets. Minification is a best practice that reduces download sizes without affecting functionality. From an environmental perspective, each page view of nic.pictet produces approximately 0.05g of CO₂, earning a carbon rating of A. This places the website among the cleanest on the web, demonstrating efficient use of server resources and optimized content delivery. For reference, the average web page produces about 0.5g of CO₂ per page view. The page weight of 96 KB is the primary factor in this calculation. Core Web Vitals data from the Chrome User Experience Report (CrUX) is not available for nic.pictet. This typically means the site doesn't have enough real-world Chrome user traffic to generate statistically significant field data, or the domain is not included in the CrUX dataset. Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP, CLS) are important Google ranking factors that measure real user experience.

nic.pictet resolves to the IPv4 address 185.154.92.80, but does not support IPv6. IPv6 adoption is increasingly important as IPv4 address space becomes exhausted, and some ISPs and regions are transitioning to IPv6-only connectivity. The domain has 1 A record(s) configured. The domain name system is managed by 6 name servers: v0n0.nic.pictet, v0n1.nic.pictet, v0n2.nic.pictet, v0n3.nic.pictet, v2n0.nic.pictet, and v2n1.nic.pictet. Having 6 name servers provides good redundancy — if one fails, the others can continue serving DNS queries. The choice of name servers often indicates the DNS hosting provider or CDN service being used. SPF is not configured, meaning any server could potentially send emails pretending to be from this domain. This is a significant email security concern. DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance) is configured with a reject policy — the strongest setting, instructing receiving servers to reject unauthorized emails entirely. DKIM was not detected. Without DKIM, recipients cannot cryptographically verify that emails claiming to be from this domain are authentic. DNSSEC is enabled for nic.pictet, providing an additional layer of security by cryptographically signing DNS records. This prevents DNS cache poisoning and man-in-the-middle attacks that could redirect visitors to malicious websites. The domain is registered through Registry Operator acts as Registrar (9999) (CH). It was first registered on 2014-08-13 and is set to expire on 2026-08-13, making it 11.9 years old. Our subdomain enumeration scan discovered 1 active subdomains for nic.pictet: www.nic.pictet. Active subdomains can reveal the organization's infrastructure, including development environments, API endpoints, and third-party service integrations.

The homepage of nic.pictet contains 792 words of visible text content. This is a moderate amount of content. The page is structured with 3 H2 headings, 0 H3 headings, 6 H4 headings. The page includes 8 images. 4 images (50%) are missing alt text attributes, which is a significant concern for both accessibility and SEO. Screen readers rely on alt text to describe images to visually impaired users, and search engines use alt text to understand image content. Only 50% of images have proper alt text — we recommend adding descriptive alt attributes to all images. The link structure consists of 148 internal links pointing to other pages on the same domain and 22 external links pointing to third-party websites. The high number of internal links suggests a well-interconnected site structure, which helps search engines discover and crawl all pages efficiently. There are 5 external JavaScript files, 1 CSS stylesheets, and 0 iframes on the page. Notable missing features: XML Sitemap, robots.txt, and Schema.org structured data. Adding these could improve search engine discoverability and rich result eligibility. The website has social media presence across 4 platforms: Twitter (@PictetGroup), Instagram (@pictetgroup), Linkedin (@the-pictet-group), and Youtube (@UCdiUmEzyLLuPJPm9gA7PeiA). An active social media presence is a positive trust indicator and helps build brand awareness and customer engagement.
