NIS2 Art. 21(2)

  1. (a) Risk analysis and security policies: Not visible from outside
  2. (b) Incident handling: One indicator
  3. (c) Business continuity, backups and crisis management: Not visible from outside
  4. (d) Supply chain security: Not visible from outside

The NIS2 figure counts only evidence anyone can see from the internet. 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

      Tracking cookies set without a consent banner

      Observed on the first page load as a new visitor, before any consent choice; Guard does not click the banner. The site set 8 analytics or marketing cookies: TikTok (_ttp, _tt_enable_cookie, ttcsid, ttcsid_D3B5MAJC77U65TC5OGE0); Google (_gcl_au); Google Analytics (_ga_90WWK4B2EJ, _ga). No consent banner or consent platform was detected (Guard scans from the EU, so EU-only banners would have been shown).

      What to do: Load analytics and marketing tags only after the visitor opts in, using a consent banner that offers accept and reject with equal prominence.

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      The page loads Google, Google Marketing, TikTok Analytics, but no privacy or cookie policy link was found to name these recipients.

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  2. Website hygiene

    Outdated scripts and CMS versions are how most small-business sites get compromised; a security.txt file tells researchers where to report what they find.

    • High

      Outdated JavaScript library with known vulnerabilities

      underscore.js 1.13.4 (detected in the page) has 1 published vulnerability: CVE-2026-27601, GHSA-qpx9-hpmf-5gmw.

      What to do: Upgrade underscore.js to 1.13.8 or later and retest the pages that use it.

    • High

      Outdated JavaScript library with known vulnerabilities

      moment.js 2.24.0 (detected in the page) has 2 published vulnerabilities: CVE-2022-24785, GHSA-8hfj-j24r-96c4, CVE-2022-31129, GHSA-wc69-rhjr-hc9g.

      What to do: Upgrade moment.js to 2.29.4 or later and retest the pages that use it.

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.
  • Accessibility: Accessibility is a separate readout from security, so it is reported but not scored. 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

Kuveyt Türk operates in the finance and banking sector with a focus on participation banking, serving a large customer base in Turkey. Their business model revolves around providing Sharia-compliant financial products including financing, accounts, cards, insurance, and investment services. The company is well-established, founded in 1989, and maintains a strong market position as one of the top participation banks. The website supports multiple languages (Turkish, English, Arabic) catering to diverse audiences. The bank leverages partnerships and advanced marketing tools to enhance customer engagement. Their digital infrastructure supports extensive data collection for analytics and marketing, balanced with privacy compliance. The presence of ISO 27001 certification and clear contact channels further reinforce their credibility and operational maturity.

Security posture

The website exhibits a strong security posture with mandatory HTTPS encryption, comprehensive security headers, and bot mitigation via Google reCAPTCHA. The use of Content Security Policy and other headers reduces risks of common web attacks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. However, the absence of a publicly visible security policy or incident response page suggests room for improvement in transparency and preparedness. The bank should consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure program and enhancing communication channels for security incidents. Overall, the security measures align well with industry best practices for financial institutions, supporting customer trust and regulatory compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency.
  2. Implement a public vulnerability disclosure program to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance data retention policy disclosures to align with GDPR and local regulations.
  5. Conduct periodic security awareness training for employees to strengthen security culture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, Google Tag Manager for analytics management, and multiple SDKs for marketing and user engagement such as CleverTap and Dataroid. The site is mobile-optimized with good accessibility features and SEO practices. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by multiple third-party scripts and tracking pixels. There is no explicit CMS detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. The technical implementation supports a professional and scalable digital presence but could benefit from performance optimization and clearer documentation of backend infrastructure.
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.
