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, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, Google APIs

      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 CIB holds a leading position in the global financial services market, targeting corporate and institutional clients. Their business model focuses on providing integrated banking solutions across capital markets and treasury services. The website's content and linked domains suggest a strong partnership and service ecosystem, including secure client portals. The absence of direct contact details on the homepage suggests a controlled client engagement approach typical for enterprise banking. The company benefits from strong brand consistency and trust signals, including verified social media channels and structured data markup.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with enforced HTTPS and cookie consent management via OneTrust. The use of security-related plugins and absence of exposed sensitive data are positive indicators. However, the lack of visible security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates potential gaps in transparency and readiness. DNSSEC is not enabled, which could be improved to enhance DNS security. No WAF or blocking mechanisms were detected, and no critical vulnerabilities were found in the analyzed content.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement comprehensive security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Continue monitoring and updating third-party libraries and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Notes

The website is powered by WordPress CMS, utilizing plugins such as Rank Math for SEO, WP Rocket for performance optimization, and OneTrust for cookie consent management. The tech stack includes jQuery and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. The site shows good mobile optimization and accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with preloading of fonts and images to enhance user experience. Hosting provider details are not explicitly available from the content. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional and secure online presence suitable for a large financial institution.
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.
