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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  3. 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

Business profile

AKCENTA holds a strong market position as a leading payment service provider in Central Europe, leveraging over two decades of market presence. Their competitive advantage lies in personalized currency exchange rates, hedging instruments, and a dedicated online broker platform. The company targets medium to large enterprises requiring efficient foreign payment solutions and currency risk mitigation. Revenue streams likely include transaction fees, hedging product margins, and value-added services. The partnership with OLB for the online broker platform enhances their service offering. The company maintains a professional brand image supported by testimonials and comprehensive service information. Growth indicators include a broad customer base and multilingual support. The ecosystem includes related domains such as news.akcenta.de and the olb.eu broker platform, reinforcing their service network.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and integration of CAPTCHA for form protection. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a publicly available security policy or incident response plan limits transparency. There is no evidence of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file, which could enhance trust and facilitate responsible vulnerability reporting. The cookie consent mechanism complies with GDPR requirements, and data collection is managed via Google Tag Manager and Cookiebot. Overall, the security measures are robust for a financial services website, but improvements in policy transparency and disclosure practices are recommended.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page detailing security frameworks and practices.
  2. Implement and publicize an incident response plan with clear contact channels for security issues.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve transparency.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance data retention and privacy policy disclosures to align with best GDPR practices.

The website is built on a modern React/Next.js stack, ensuring server-side rendering and good SEO performance. Hosting is managed via GTS, with content delivery supported by Cloudinary for images. The site uses Google Tag Manager and Cookiebot for analytics and compliance, indicating a mature digital marketing setup. Performance is optimized with preloading of fonts and images, and the site is fully responsive with good accessibility features. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or headless CMS approach. The technical infrastructure supports a fast, secure, and user-friendly experience suitable for the target business audience. Opportunities exist to enhance security transparency and incident management capabilities.
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.
