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

Credit Europe Bank NV is a well-established boutique bank headquartered in Amsterdam, Netherlands, with a history dating back to 1994. The bank specializes in corporate banking, trade and commodity finance, supply chain finance, and retail banking services, targeting small to medium-sized businesses and individual clients. It operates internationally with offices in multiple countries including Germany, Malta, Romania, Switzerland, Ukraine, and Turkey. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with comprehensive business information and clear navigation. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including JavaScript, Google Tag Manager, and Cookiebot for cookie consent management. The site is mobile-optimized and uses HTTPS with strong security headers, indicating a good security posture. Analytics and marketing tools are used responsibly with visible cookie consent mechanisms ensuring GDPR compliance. Security-wise, the site demonstrates good practices such as HTTPS enforcement, use of security headers, and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, there is no dedicated security policy or incident response information publicly available, which could be improved to enhance trust and transparency.

Strategic recommendations include publishing a security policy, providing incident response contacts, and implementing a vulnerability disclosure policy to further strengthen security 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

2 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

  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

Credit Europe Bank holds a strong market position as a boutique bank with a focus on specialized financial services for corporate and retail clients. Its business model emphasizes tailored solutions and international reach, supported by a network of subsidiaries and branches across Europe and beyond. The bank leverages digital platforms for online banking and marketing, targeting SMEs and individual savers. The presence of multiple international offices and a diverse workforce supports its global operations. The company shows growth potential through its focus on sustainability and customer-centric services. Partnerships and subsidiaries are clearly linked, enhancing its ecosystem and service delivery.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and multiple security headers implemented, including HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and Content-Security-Policy. Cookie consent is managed via Cookiebot with blocking mode enabled, supporting GDPR compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a public security policy and incident response contact details indicates room for improvement in transparency and readiness. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file was found, which is recommended for responsible vulnerability management. Overall, the security measures are robust but could be enhanced with clearer communication on security governance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and governance.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information to facilitate reporting and handling of security issues.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.
  5. Improve SEO metadata completeness including description and keywords for better search engine visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript-based front end with integration of Google Tag Manager and Cookiebot for analytics and cookie consent management. The site is mobile responsive and loads images with lazy loading techniques. The HTML is valid and well-structured, though some meta tags like description and keywords are empty, indicating SEO optimization opportunities. The site does not explicitly reveal the CMS or hosting provider. Performance appears moderate with some SVG animations and scripts. Security headers and HTTPS configuration are strong, supporting a secure browsing experience. Technical debt is low, but improvements in accessibility and SEO could be made to enhance overall digital maturity.
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.
