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

The company holds a strategic position in Kazakhstan's financial infrastructure, serving as the central repository for securities accounting. Its business model revolves around providing secure and reliable custody and record-keeping services for various types of securities. The website content is basic but consistent with the company's purpose. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries from the provided data. The use of Yandex Metrica indicates a focus on monitoring user engagement, likely to optimize service delivery to its target audience.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS and includes modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Bootstrap, but lacks visible security headers and explicit security policies. No privacy or cookie policies were found, indicating potential compliance gaps with GDPR or similar regulations. The absence of contact information for incident response or data protection officers reduces transparency. The security score is moderate, with recommendations to implement security headers, privacy policies, and clear contact channels for security incidents.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance security posture.
  3. Publish clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security-related inquiries.
  4. Conduct a security audit to identify and remediate any potential vulnerabilities in the web infrastructure.
  5. Enhance website content quality and navigation to improve user experience and trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Bootstrap 4.6.2, jQuery 3.6.0, and Popper.js, indicating a modern but standard front-end technology stack. It uses Yandex Metrica for analytics, which is common in the region. The site appears moderately optimized for mobile devices and has basic SEO and accessibility features. Hosting provider and CMS are not identified from the data. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in technical SEO and accessibility compliance.
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.
