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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  2. 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

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

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 company holds a dominant market position in the finance sector, offering a wide range of services from small business banking to global corporate and investment banking. Its competitive advantages include a broad global presence, strong brand recognition, and comprehensive service offerings. The business model leverages digital platforms and research insights to enhance client engagement and operational efficiency. Partnerships with specialized domains and platforms extend its service capabilities. Growth indicators include continuous content updates, diverse service portfolios, and active marketing through social media and digital channels.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, appropriate security headers, and no exposed sensitive information. The use of a consent management platform (OneTrust) indicates compliance with privacy laws such as GDPR. However, the absence of a publicly accessible security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in security governance. No vulnerable or outdated libraries were detected, and forms do not appear to collect sensitive data without protection. Overall, the security measures align with industry best practices for a financial institution's public website.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  2. Implement and publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  3. Enhance incident response transparency by providing dedicated security contact channels.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate emerging vulnerabilities.
  5. Continue to maintain and improve accessibility and privacy compliance features.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a robust CMS platform (Adobe Experience Manager) with integration of advanced video playback (Kaltura) and consent management (OneTrust). It employs modern JavaScript libraries and tag management (Tealium) for analytics and marketing. The site is optimized for performance and mobile responsiveness, with comprehensive SEO meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). No technical debt or major performance bottlenecks were observed. The hosting environment appears enterprise-grade, though specific hosting provider details are not disclosed. The technical infrastructure supports a secure, scalable, and user-friendly digital experience.
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.
