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.

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

Bigbank's business model centers on digital lending services, targeting individuals and SMEs in Estonia and neighboring countries. Their competitive advantage lies in specialization and regional focus, supported by ISO certifications and a consistent brand presence. Revenue streams are primarily from loan interest and fees. The company maintains subsidiaries in Latvia, Lithuania, and Finland, expanding its market reach. The website reflects a professional and customer-centric approach, with clear contact channels and legal documentation. Partnerships appear limited to regional subsidiaries, with no evident third-party payment processors disclosed. Growth indicators include a solid online presence and modern technology adoption.

Security posture

The security maturity of Bigbank's website is good, with HTTPS and multiple security headers implemented, reducing common web vulnerabilities. The use of hCaptcha adds protection against automated abuse. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a public security policy or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency. Incident response contact information is not explicitly provided, which could be improved. GDPR compliance is evident through privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the security posture supports business continuity and customer trust but could benefit from enhanced transparency and formalized incident response mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and controls.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
  4. Provide explicit incident response contact channels for security issues.
  5. Regularly review and update privacy and cookie policies to maintain GDPR compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website leverages a modern JavaScript framework (Nuxt.js) combined with Bootstrap for responsive design, ensuring good mobile optimization and user experience. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in asset loading and caching strategies. The absence of a known CMS suggests a custom-built platform, which may require dedicated maintenance resources. Security best practices are followed, but technical debt could arise from missing formal security documentation and limited analytics integration. Opportunities exist to enhance SEO and accessibility further, as well as to adopt advanced performance monitoring tools to maintain high availability and responsiveness.
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.
