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

Deutsche Bank AG is a leading financial institution offering a wide range of banking and investment services primarily targeting private, corporate, and institutional clients in Germany and internationally. The website reflects a mature digital presence with comprehensive service offerings, strong branding, and user-centric design. The technical infrastructure leverages Adobe Experience Manager CMS, Adobe Launch for tag management, and integrates advanced customer interaction tools such as Genesys widgets and Usercentrics for consent management. Security configurations are solid with valid SPF and DMARC policies, TLS 1.2 encryption with strong cipher suites, but could benefit from enhancements like TLS 1.3 support, HSTS, and DNSSEC. Privacy and cookie policies are well implemented with GDPR compliance, though explicit security and incident response policies are not publicly found. Overall, the site demonstrates a high level of professionalism, trustworthiness, and compliance with regulatory requirements.

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.

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

Deutsche Bank maintains a strong market position as a full-service bank with diversified revenue streams including retail banking, wealth management, corporate finance, and asset management. The website targets a broad audience from private customers to institutional clients, emphasizing personalized advisory services and digital banking solutions. The presence of subsidiaries such as Postbank, norisbank, BHW Bausparkasse, and DWS indicates a broad ecosystem supporting various financial products. Strategic partnerships and marketing campaigns like maxblue ETF promotions and Mastercard contests highlight active customer engagement and cross-selling efforts. The company’s digital maturity is evident through integrated analytics, consent management, and customer service automation, supporting growth and customer retention.

Security posture

The security posture of the Deutsche Bank website is robust with adherence to key email authentication standards (SPF, DMARC) and use of strong TLS encryption. However, the absence of DNSSEC, HSTS, and OCSP stapling indicates areas for improvement in DNS and transport layer security. No public security policy or vulnerability disclosure program was found, which could limit transparency and responsiveness to security incidents. The site uses modern security best practices in SSL/TLS configuration but lacks support for the latest TLS 1.3 protocol. Overall, the security measures are adequate for protecting customer data and maintaining trust but could be enhanced to align with best-in-class financial sector standards.

Recommendations

  1. Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload to enforce HTTPS and prevent downgrade attacks.
  2. Implement OCSP stapling to improve TLS certificate revocation checking and reduce latency.
  3. Upgrade server configuration to support TLS 1.3 for improved security and performance.
  4. Deploy DNSSEC to protect DNS integrity and prevent spoofing attacks.
  5. Publish a clear security policy and vulnerability disclosure program to enhance transparency and incident response.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager CMS, leveraging Adobe Launch for tag management and Usercentrics for GDPR-compliant consent management. It integrates Genesys widgets for customer interaction and Sabio search for content discovery. The SSL certificate covers multiple subdomains and uses a strong cipher suite but only supports TLS 1.2. DNS records are well configured with multiple authoritative nameservers and valid SPF and DMARC records. Performance is moderate with a page load time of approximately 5.8 seconds and a page size of about 533 KB. The site is mobile optimized with good accessibility and SEO practices including structured data and Open Graph metadata. Technical debt is minimal, but security enhancements and performance optimizations could be pursued.
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.
