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. 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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

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

CIBC U.S. benefits from the strong brand and financial backing of its parent company, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce. The company holds a significant position in the North American banking sector, offering diversified financial products to personal and commercial clients. Its competitive advantages include a broad service portfolio, established trust, and a focus on client relationships. Revenue streams are primarily from banking fees, wealth management, and business financial services. The target customer segments include U.S. individuals, small businesses, and commercial enterprises. Growth indicators include digital banking adoption and expansion of wealth management services. The partnership ecosystem includes technology providers like Adobe and FIS Global, supporting digital and transactional capabilities.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and secure authentication portals. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive information were detected in the analyzed content. Privacy compliance is evident through GDPR-aligned policies and cookie consent mechanisms. However, the absence of a publicly available security policy, vulnerability disclosure program, and incident response contact information represents gaps in transparency and readiness. The site would benefit from publishing these details to improve stakeholder confidence and incident handling capabilities. Overall, the security culture appears strong but could be enhanced with more explicit communication.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and standards.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Enhance transparency by listing relevant certifications and compliance frameworks (e.g., ISO 27001, PCI DSS).
  5. Continue to monitor and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager, a robust enterprise CMS, and uses Adobe Launch for tag management, indicating a well-structured digital marketing and analytics setup. Performance is optimized via Akamai CDN and Adobe Helix RUM monitoring. The tech stack includes jQuery and Foundation CSS framework, supporting responsive and accessible design. The site integrates OneTrust for cookie consent, ensuring privacy compliance. Technical debt appears minimal with modern libraries and asynchronous script loading. Opportunities exist to further modernize by adopting newer JavaScript frameworks and enhancing security transparency. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a high-quality user experience and operational reliability.
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.
