0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

CPB SOFTWARE AG is a well-established full-service IT provider specializing in comprehensive software solutions and IT services, primarily targeting banking, finance, education, government, and industrial sectors. With over 25 years of experience and a customer base exceeding 550 active clients across Austria, Germany, and other countries, CPB positions itself as a trusted partner for digital transformation, core banking, compliance, and cloud services. The website reflects a mature business with clear market positioning and a broad portfolio of products and services. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern plugins and tools, though performance is moderate and SSL configuration is currently inadequate, posing security risks. Security headers are present but the lack of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS enforcement significantly lowers the security posture. Privacy compliance is mostly addressed with a comprehensive privacy policy, but cookie consent mechanisms are missing. Overall, CPB demonstrates strong business credibility and professional online presence but should urgently address SSL and security improvements to enhance trust and compliance.

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

5 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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

  3. 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 Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

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

CPB operates in a competitive IT services market with a focus on banking and finance, leveraging long-term industry experience and a diversified product suite including core banking systems, eBanking, compliance suites, and cloud business services. Their business model combines software licensing, custom development, and managed services. The company maintains strategic partnerships, such as with SynoFin AG, enhancing its risk management offerings. The presence of a dedicated career site and community engagement indicates a growth-oriented and customer-centric approach. CPB's market presence in multiple countries and certification by Leitbetriebe Austria further strengthen its competitive advantage and trustworthiness.

Security posture

The current security posture is moderate but compromised by the absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of HTTPS enforcement, which is critical for protecting user data and ensuring secure communications. Security headers like XSS protection, frame options, and content type options are correctly implemented, indicating awareness of security best practices. However, missing HSTS enablement and OCSP stapling reduce the effectiveness of these measures. No explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are found, which could impact the company's readiness to handle security incidents. The site uses secure cookie attributes but lacks advanced session management features. Overall, the security maturity is adequate but requires immediate remediation of SSL issues and enhancement of incident response capabilities.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Enable and configure HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload flags.
  3. Implement OCSP stapling to improve certificate revocation checking performance and security.
  4. Introduce a cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and enhance user trust.
  5. Publish a security.txt file and establish a clear vulnerability disclosure policy to improve transparency and incident response readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using Elementor and several plugins such as Elementskit and Weglot for multilingual support. The site employs jQuery and FontAwesome for UI elements and icons. Performance optimization is handled by WP Rocket, though actual load time data is missing, and the site is rated as slow. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design and accessible navigation. SEO is supported by Rank Math PRO plugin and proper meta tags including Open Graph and Twitter cards. The hosting environment uses Apache server. Technical debt is low, but the lack of a valid SSL certificate and incomplete HTTPS implementation represent significant risks. Modern web standards are partially met, with room for improvement in accessibility and security configurations.
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.
