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

Bosna Bank International (BBI) is a banking institution based in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, providing a full range of banking services to both individual and corporate clients. The website reflects a professional banking brand with consistent branding and a clear focus on financial services. The target audience includes physical and legal persons seeking banking solutions in the region. The business model is centered on traditional banking services, positioning BBI as a significant player in the Bosnian financial sector. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with Elementor and uses modern web technologies including asynchronous script loading and SEO optimization via Rank Math. The site is mobile-optimized and performs moderately well, though accessibility features are basic. Structured data is implemented correctly, enhancing search engine understanding of the organization. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration and employs some security plugins like stop-user-enumeration. However, there is a lack of visible security headers and no published security or incident response policies. Privacy compliance is weak, with no visible privacy or cookie policies or consent mechanisms. No forms or contact details were found in the provided content, limiting user engagement and support transparency. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance, security best practices, and clearer contact and policy disclosures to improve user trust and regulatory adherence.

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.

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 · found on this site
  • 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

BBI operates in the banking sector within Bosnia and Herzegovina, targeting both retail and corporate customers. The bank's competitive advantage lies in its established regional presence and comprehensive banking services. The business model is traditional banking, likely generating revenue from deposits, loans, and financial products. The website indicates a focus on digital presence but lacks advanced customer engagement features such as visible contact forms or detailed policy disclosures. The partnership ecosystem includes at least one related domain for web services (bbi.izradawebstranica.ba). Growth indicators are not explicit but the professional web presence suggests ongoing investment in digital channels. Strategic observations include the need for improved transparency and compliance to align with evolving regulatory requirements.

Security posture

The security posture of the website is moderate. HTTPS is properly implemented with an excellent SSL configuration, ensuring encrypted communications. The presence of a stop-user-enumeration plugin indicates awareness of common WordPress security issues. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces defense-in-depth. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published, which is a gap in security culture and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The site uses several third-party scripts and plugins, which should be regularly audited to prevent supply chain risks. Overall, the site is secure but could improve by adopting additional security best practices and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance security posture.
  3. Publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies including security contact channels to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Include clear and verified contact information such as company emails and phone numbers to enhance user trust and support.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and scripts to mitigate risks from vulnerable components.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using Elementor for page building and Rank Math for SEO optimization. It loads scripts asynchronously and defers non-critical JavaScript to improve performance. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design elements and uses Material Design Lite for UI components. Structured data is implemented using JSON-LD, enhancing SEO and rich snippet eligibility. However, accessibility features are basic and could be improved. Hosting provider details are not explicit in the content. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in loading speed and accessibility compliance. The technical stack is mature but requires ongoing maintenance to ensure security and performance.
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.
