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.

    • 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

      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

  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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

  3. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Domain Expires Soon

      Domain expires in 2 days

      What to do: Renew domain registration before expiration

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

BNP Paribas operates in the banking sector with a diversified business model encompassing retail, corporate, and investment banking, as well as asset management. The company targets a broad audience including individual shareholders, financial analysts, and institutional investors. The website reflects a mature digital presence with extensive financial documentation, live stock data, and investor tools. The group has strategic subsidiaries such as BNP Paribas Cardif and Hello bank!, and recently acquired AXA Investment Managers, indicating growth and expansion. The investor relations site supports transparency and regulatory compliance, reinforcing BNP Paribas's strong market position as a resilient and leading European bank.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enabled and domain status protections that prevent unauthorized domain transfers or deletions. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which could be a potential area for improvement. No explicit security policies or incident response contacts are published, which is a gap in transparency and readiness communication. The use of Matomo analytics suggests a privacy-conscious approach to user tracking. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. Security headers were not explicitly found in the HTML content, suggesting potential for enhancement. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from additional published policies and technical security enhancements.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Implement and verify HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Continue monitoring and updating analytics and tracking tools to maintain privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript-based front end with asynchronous and deferred script loading, including Matomo for analytics and Slick Carousel for UI components. CSS is served via CDN with versioned files indicating a build process. The site is mobile responsive and optimized for various screen sizes. No CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Performance appears moderate with multiple JS and CSS files but no obvious blocking issues. Accessibility is basic with skip links and ARIA roles but could be improved. SEO is supported with meta viewport and descriptive titles. Hosting provider details are not explicit. Overall, the technical infrastructure is robust and suitable for a large enterprise banking site.
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.
