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. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, LinkedIn

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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

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

Danske Bank holds a strong market position as a major Danish bank with a broad portfolio of financial products and services. Its business model focuses on retail banking with key revenue streams from loans, investments, pensions, and insurance. The website content and structure indicate a focus on private customers, including young adults and families. The bank maintains related domains for international presence and asset management services, suggesting a diversified service ecosystem. The digital platform supports customer engagement through calculators, guides, and digital banking tools, reflecting a commitment to customer-centric service delivery and digital maturity.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enforced and no visible exposure of sensitive data. The presence of multiple secure login portals for different banking segments indicates compartmentalized access control. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents areas for improvement. No incident response or security policy information is publicly disclosed, which could enhance transparency and trust. The lack of explicit privacy and cookie policies may pose compliance risks under GDPR. Overall, the security maturity is solid but could benefit from enhanced transparency and technical hardening.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and publicly disclose comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR compliance.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to strengthen web security.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and customer trust.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and enhance user data protection.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses modern web technologies including JavaScript, SVG icons, and responsive CSS, providing a good user experience across devices. The HTML structure is valid and SEO optimized with appropriate meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in loading speed. Accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA labels are present, supporting usability. The technical stack appears well-maintained with no deprecated libraries detected. Hosting and CMS details are not explicitly identified but the infrastructure supports a large enterprise-grade banking platform. Opportunities exist to enhance security headers and DNS configurations to reduce technical risks.
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.
