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

3 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

    • 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

  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

DNB Carnegie holds a strong market position as a leading Nordic financial advisor, backed by its parent company DNB ASA. The business model focuses on wealth management, investment banking, and market research services targeting affluent individuals and institutional clients. The company leverages a network of subsidiaries across Nordic countries and internationally, enhancing its service reach. The website content and structure support a clear value proposition emphasizing expertise, market leadership, and client service. The presence of awards, rankings, and detailed transaction listings further reinforce credibility and market influence.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a good SSL configuration, uses Sentry for error monitoring with filters to reduce noise, and implements a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism with granular categories. Tracking and marketing tools are used responsibly with user consent. However, the absence of published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates room for improvement in transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Security headers are inferred but not explicitly confirmed, suggesting a review and enhancement opportunity.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and document security headers explicitly (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options).
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Maintain and regularly review third-party scripts and libraries to avoid vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Yoast SEO plugin for search optimization. It uses jQuery and modern JavaScript libraries including Sentry for error tracking and Google Tag Manager for analytics management. The site is hosted behind Cloudflare, providing CDN and security benefits. Performance is moderate with preloading of fonts and responsive images. Mobile optimization and accessibility are well addressed. The cookie consent is managed by CookieScript, offering a user-friendly interface for privacy compliance. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and well-maintained, supporting a professional online presence.
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.
