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

GlobalBanks is a specialized service provider facilitating international bank account openings for non-resident individuals and businesses. Established in 1999, the company offers a range of banking services including offshore banking, US banking, European and Asian banking, business banking, and private banking. The website targets a niche audience seeking remote and international banking solutions. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with Elementor and Yoast SEO, hosted with GoDaddy and using Cloudflare DNS. The site demonstrates moderate digital maturity with good SEO and mobile optimization but lacks some advanced security headers and DNSSEC. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and domain registrar protections but could be improved with enhanced headers and DNSSEC. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing explicit privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from improved privacy disclosures and security hardening.

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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

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

GlobalBanks occupies a niche market in international banking facilitation, focusing on non-resident and foreign clients. Its business model revolves around providing advisory and account opening services remotely, leveraging partnerships and a member portal. The company maintains a consistent brand presence with active social media channels. The lack of visible certifications or compliance badges suggests a focus on service facilitation rather than direct banking. The domain age and registration details support a stable business history. Growth potential lies in expanding digital trust signals and compliance transparency.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and has domain status protections to prevent unauthorized transfers or deletions. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a missed opportunity to enhance DNS security. Security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options are not detected, which could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is publicly available, indicating a potential gap in transparency. The site uses common third-party scripts like Google Analytics and Tag Manager, which require careful privacy management. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved with additional headers, DNSSEC, and published security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy.
  3. Publish clear and comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance statements.
  4. Add a publicly accessible vulnerability disclosure or security contact page to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities and improve performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using Elementor for page building and Yoast SEO for search engine optimization. It uses jQuery and Google Analytics for tracking. The domain is registered with GoDaddy and uses Cloudflare for DNS services. The site is mobile optimized and has a clear navigation structure. Performance is moderate, with some optimization opportunities in CSS and script loading. Accessibility features are basic but present. The lack of DNSSEC and minimal security headers represent technical risks. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from security and privacy enhancements to align with best practices.
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.
