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

5 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 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';…

  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

    • 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. 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

  4. DNS health

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

    • High

      Potential Subdomain Takeover

      Subdomain dev.beyondbank.com.au points to unregistered service beyondbank-avmh-devalb-01-939180687.ap-southeast-2.elb.amazonaws.com

      What to do: Remove or fix CNAME record to prevent subdomain takeover

      • WSTG-CONF-10
      • NIS2 21(2)(i)
      • IR 2024/2690 12.4: Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 12.4: Asset inventory

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

The bank operates in the Australian finance sector with a customer-owned business model, reinvesting profits into community and customer benefits. It targets individuals, businesses, and community groups, offering accounts, loans, insurance, and financial wellbeing programs. Partnerships with insurance providers and travel assistance firms enhance its service portfolio. The bank's market position is reinforced by awards and certifications, indicating competitive digital banking capabilities and customer satisfaction. The website supports lead generation through account opening and enquiry forms, backed by marketing automation and analytics platforms.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and integrates multiple security and monitoring tools, including Microsoft Application Insights and Voice ID for phone authentication. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy page and incident response contact reduces transparency. The use of third-party scripts necessitates ongoing security audits. Overall, the security posture is robust but could be improved with explicit policy disclosures and a vulnerability disclosure program.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and trust.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  3. Audit and monitor third-party scripts regularly to mitigate supply chain risks.
  4. Ensure all recommended security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) are implemented and documented.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance disclosures with clear data retention policies and user rights information.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including React-like components, cloud CDN delivery via AWS Cloudfront, and Azure Application Insights for monitoring. Marketing and analytics are powered by Marketo, Google Tag Manager, Optimizely, and Idio Analytics, indicating a mature digital marketing infrastructure. The CMS appears to be Episerver, supporting modular content blocks and personalization. Performance is optimized with font preloading and responsive images. Mobile optimization and accessibility are well addressed. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which require vigilant security management.
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.
