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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • Critical

      DNS Resolution Failed

      Unable to resolve domain A records

      What to do: Verify domain is properly configured and not expired

  2. 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

  3. 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.

  4. 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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

AuburnBank positions itself as a trusted community bank with a focus on personalized service and local market engagement. Its business model centers on retail and commercial banking, mortgage lending, and financial education. The bank leverages partnerships with third-party platforms for online banking and investor relations, enhancing service delivery. The website's content and navigation cater to diverse customer segments including personal banking clients, businesses, and mortgage seekers. Growth indicators include digital adoption and community involvement initiatives. The bank's strategic use of technology and compliance with privacy standards reflect a forward-looking operational approach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS encryption, secure login forms, and a comprehensive cookie consent framework via Osano. No immediate vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, explicit security headers such as X-Frame-Options and Content-Security-Policy are not clearly visible and should be verified server-side. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in security governance. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by publishing formal security and incident response documentation and implementing additional HTTP security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify HTTP security headers including X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate supply chain risks.
  5. Enhance WHOIS transparency if possible to improve domain trustworthiness and reduce suspicion.

The website is built using Forbin PageBuilder CMS and incorporates modern front-end technologies such as jQuery, Font Awesome, and Google Fonts. It integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics and Osano for cookie consent management, indicating compliance with privacy regulations. The site is mobile optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices including meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate with deferred styles and asynchronous script loading. No major technical debt or outdated libraries were detected. Hosting provider details are not explicit but the site uses CDN resources for fonts and scripts, enhancing performance and reliability.
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.
