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. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  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.

    • 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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

Citfin operates in the finance sector, focusing on foreign exchange and international payments for businesses. Its business model revolves around providing currency exchange services, forward contracts, and online transaction capabilities. The company targets medium to large enterprises requiring currency risk management and payment solutions. The website's content and social media presence indicate a well-established market position in the Czech Republic. The company leverages digital marketing tools and tracking to optimize customer engagement and service delivery. No direct parent or subsidiary relationships were identified from the website data. The company maintains a medium-sized operational scale with a focus on quality service and compliance with GDPR regulations.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a good SSL configuration and includes several security headers such as Content Security Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options, indicating adherence to security best practices. Cookie consent is managed via Cookiebot, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the site lacks a publicly accessible security policy or incident response information, which could improve transparency and preparedness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The use of third-party scripts like jQuery and Google Tag Manager is standard but should be regularly audited for security. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from enhanced documentation and incident response visibility.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page detailing security practices and compliance.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Regularly review and update third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to improve inclusivity and compliance.
  5. Consider implementing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS, utilizing popular plugins such as WP Rocket for caching and performance optimization, Yoast SEO for search engine optimization, and Cookiebot for cookie consent management. The tech stack includes jQuery and Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking. The site demonstrates good performance and mobile optimization with responsive design. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. SEO is well implemented with meta tags, Open Graph, and structured data (JSON-LD) describing the organization and webpage. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and efficient user experience with room for enhancements in accessibility and security documentation.
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.
