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

    • 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 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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The KfW IPEX-Bank operates as a large, essential entity in the finance sector, with a focus on banking, transport, and energy sectors. It serves international clients with specialized financing products, leveraging its position as part of the KfW Bankengruppe. The business model centers on providing bespoke financial services for export and project finance, supporting infrastructure and sustainable development projects. The bank maintains a strong market position with a clear brand and extensive service offerings. Its digital presence supports its business goals with informative content, news updates, and career opportunities, indicating a well-rounded corporate strategy. Partnerships and social media presence further enhance its market reach and credibility.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security posture with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive data. The use of Usercentrics for cookie consent and Webtrekk for analytics shows attention to privacy and compliance. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security policies or incident response contacts suggest areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or suspicious activities were detected in the HTML content. The site does not display any WAF or blocking mechanisms, allowing full content access. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by adopting additional security best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance contact information visibility by including verified company emails and phone numbers on the website for better user trust and communication.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities or outdated components are present.

The site is responsive and optimized for mobile devices with good accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with deferred loading of scripts and optimized images. The CMS appears custom or proprietary, with no common CMS signatures detected. The site integrates multiple external domains for analytics, media, and social sharing, all reputable and relevant. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and user-friendly experience with room for performance tuning and security header 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.
