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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  2. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

  3. 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

ILB holds a significant position as the regional development bank for Brandenburg, providing essential financial services and funding programs that support economic growth, infrastructure projects, and social initiatives. Its business model revolves around public funding and advisory services, targeting diverse stakeholders from private enterprises to public institutions. The bank maintains partnerships with venture capital entities like Brandenburg Kapital and operates dedicated career portals, indicating a mature organizational structure. The website content and navigation are tailored to facilitate easy access to funding information and customer support, reflecting a customer-centric approach. The presence of certifications and family-friendly employer recognition further enhances its market reputation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of session management via Apache Tomcat. The integration of Friendly Captcha helps mitigate automated abuse. Consent management is handled by Klaro, supporting GDPR compliance. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options are not visibly implemented, representing an area for enhancement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Incident response contact details and a security.txt file are absent, which could improve transparency and readiness. Overall, the security measures align well with the website's public and institutional nature but could benefit from additional hardening.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options HTTP headers to strengthen security.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to provide clear vulnerability disclosure and incident response contacts.
  3. Add explicit incident response contact information on the website to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party libraries and scripts to avoid potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance monitoring and logging mechanisms to detect and respond to security incidents promptly.

Technical notes

Notes

The ILB website is built on a solid technical foundation using HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript with popular libraries such as jQuery and Bootstrap for responsive design. The use of Klaro for consent management and Friendly Captcha for bot protection indicates attention to privacy and security. The site loads a variety of scripts including Google Tag Manager and analytics tools, supporting marketing and user behavior analysis. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, but mobile optimization and accessibility are excellent. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting details are not explicitly available, but the domain uses German ISP name servers. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and user-friendly experience with opportunities for further security and performance enhancements.
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.
