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. 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

  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.

Technical appendix

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

Business context

Business profile

LBBW operates in the finance sector with a focus on banking services for corporate and institutional clients. Its business model includes financing solutions, cash management, international business facilitation, and advisory services with a sustainability focus. The bank maintains a strong market position in Germany with subsidiaries like Berlin Hyp. The website's comprehensive navigation and content indicate a well-established organization with a large enterprise scale. The presence of investor relations, compliance, and innovation sections highlight transparency and strategic growth. The career portal and media center further support a robust organizational ecosystem. Partnerships and subsidiaries are clearly linked, enhancing the bank's service offerings and market reach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and multiple security headers implemented, including HSTS and CSP. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Forms appear to be securely implemented with modern JavaScript enhancements. However, the absence of a published security.txt or explicit incident response contact reduces transparency in vulnerability management. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms are in place, supporting GDPR compliance. The use of Matomo analytics suggests a privacy-conscious approach to user tracking. Overall, the security maturity is high but could be improved by publishing vulnerability disclosure and incident response details.

Recommendations

  1. Publish explicit incident response and security contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  2. Implement and publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  3. Enhance data retention policy disclosures related to analytics and user data.
  4. Continue monitoring and updating third-party libraries to avoid potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Maintain and regularly audit security headers and HTTPS configurations to ensure ongoing protection.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including JavaScript libraries for lazy loading and hyphenation (Hyphenopoly), and Matomo for analytics. It is hosted on Telekom Domains infrastructure, indicating reliable hosting. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features. SEO is well-implemented with comprehensive meta tags, Open Graph tags, and canonical URLs. Performance is moderate with asynchronous script loading and lazy loading of images. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Technical risks are minimal, but continuous monitoring is recommended to maintain performance and security.
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.
