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.

Its business model focuses on delivering banking and financial services with an emphasis on digital transformation and customer satisfaction. The bank maintains a comprehensive investor relations program with detailed financial calendars and regular updates, indicating strong transparency and engagement with stakeholders. Partnerships and related domains such as danskeci.com support its service offerings.

Security posture

Danske Bank exhibits a strong security posture with enforced HTTPS, presence of key security headers, and secure handling of user interactions such as login portals. The website avoids exposing sensitive data and employs modern security best practices. However, there is no explicit security policy or incident response contact information readily available, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness.

No vulnerabilities or critical security issues were detected in the analyzed content. Overall, the bank maintains a secure and compliant web presence suitable for a financial institution of its scale.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and controls.
  2. Implement and publicize a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  3. Regularly review and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential security risks.
  4. Enhance visibility and accessibility of incident response and abuse contact information.

Notes

The website employs a modern technology stack including JavaScript frameworks, SVG graphics, and integrated video players from Qbrick. It uses Adobe DTM for tag management and eGain for analytics, indicating a mature digital marketing infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. The presence of comprehensive meta tags and structured data supports SEO efforts. No CMS was explicitly identified. Hosting details are not disclosed in the content. The technical implementation supports a professional and user-friendly experience, though continuous monitoring and optimization are recommended to maintain performance and security.
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.
