69/100

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

ING Wholesale Banking operates as a global financial services provider specializing in wholesale banking solutions across more than 35 markets. The company offers a broad range of services including payments and collections, cash and liquidity management, trade finance, hedging solutions, and strategic advisory with a strong emphasis on sustainability. The website reflects a mature digital presence with professional design, clear navigation, and comprehensive content tailored to corporate clients and financial institutions. Technically, the website leverages modern web technologies such as the Astro framework, optimized image formats (WebP, AVIF), and advanced font loading strategies. The site is mobile-optimized and demonstrates good SEO and accessibility practices. Analytics are implemented via Webtrekk, indicating moderate user tracking with privacy compliance mechanisms including cookie consent banners. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and employs secure login components. However, explicit security headers are not evident in the HTML source, and there is no public incident response or vulnerability disclosure information. The WHOIS data is missing or the domain is unregistered, which raises concerns about domain legitimacy despite the professional website content. Overall, the website scores well on content quality and technical implementation but is moderately impacted by the lack of WHOIS data and some security best practices. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing incident response policies, and clarifying domain registration details to improve trust and compliance.

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. 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

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

ING Wholesale Banking holds a strong market position as a leader in sustainable finance and corporate banking services. Its competitive advantages include a global network combined with local expertise, sector-specific tailored solutions, and recognition through multiple industry awards. The business model focuses on providing comprehensive financial services to corporate clients and financial institutions, emphasizing digital banking and sustainability. Revenue streams likely derive from transactional banking, advisory services, trade finance, and hedging products. The target customer segments are large enterprises and financial institutions requiring complex banking solutions. The company benefits from a robust partnership ecosystem linked to the ING Group and maintains a consistent brand presence across its digital channels.

Security posture

The current security maturity of the website is moderate to good. HTTPS is enforced, and secure login mechanisms are in place. The presence of a cookie consent mechanism indicates attention to privacy compliance. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No public incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are available, which may impact incident handling readiness and transparency. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Compliance with GDPR is indicated through privacy policies. The lack of WHOIS registration data is a notable concern for domain legitimacy and trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear incident response policy and vulnerability disclosure program to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Clarify domain registration details and ensure WHOIS information is accurate and publicly available to strengthen domain trustworthiness.
  4. Enhance contact information by providing direct security contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics tools to mitigate potential vulnerabilities and ensure compliance with privacy regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using the Astro framework, leveraging modern JavaScript modules and optimized image formats for performance. It uses custom web fonts loaded asynchronously and preconnects to asset domains to improve loading times. The site is mobile responsive with adaptive images for different screen sizes. Analytics are implemented via Webtrekk, indicating a moderate level of user tracking. The HTML and CSS are valid and well-structured, supporting good SEO and accessibility. No CMS or hosting provider information is explicitly detected. The site demonstrates fast performance and modern front-end practices but could benefit from enhanced security headers and more transparent domain registration data.
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.
