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. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

BNP Paribas holds a strong market position as a top European bank with a broad international footprint. Its business model is diversified across multiple banking sectors, targeting a wide audience from retail clients to institutional investors. The company emphasizes sustainable finance and innovation, as evidenced by dedicated site sections and recent news. The presence of a whistleblowing platform and published codes of conduct indicate a mature compliance culture. The company leverages multiple digital channels and partner sites to serve its customers and stakeholders effectively.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses domain status locks to prevent unauthorized domain changes, indicating good domain security hygiene. Cookie consent is actively managed via OneTrust, supporting GDPR compliance. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure program is found, which is a potential area for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The absence of DNSSEC is a minor security gap. Overall, the security posture is strong but could be enhanced by publishing explicit security policies and incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and incident response procedures.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Consider adding explicit contact channels for security incidents (e.g., security@ or abuse@ emails).
  5. Continue monitoring and updating third-party scripts and analytics tools to avoid vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses modern web technologies including CSS3, HTML5, and JavaScript frameworks for UI components like carousels and menus. Analytics are handled via Matomo and Google Tag Manager, indicating a mature approach to data collection and marketing. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features, though accessibility is rated basic and could be improved. Performance is moderate, likely due to rich media content and external resources. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not disclosed in the HTML content.
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.
