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

5 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. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…
  3. DNS health

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

    • High

      Weak SPF Policy

      SPF record has permissive policy allowing any server to send email

      What to do: Use -all or ~all qualifier for better email security

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

maxblue benefits from its affiliation with Deutsche Bank, leveraging the bank's brand and infrastructure to serve a large enterprise market in Germany. Its business model focuses on online brokerage services, targeting retail investors with a wide range of products including ETFs, funds, derivatives, and savings plans. The platform offers extensive market data and educational content, enhancing customer engagement and retention. Partnerships with services like ivestor and podcast platforms expand its ecosystem and content offerings. The presence of multiple trading partners and global market access indicates a broad operational scope. The website's content and navigation are designed to facilitate user access to key services and information, supporting a customer-centric approach.

Security posture

The security posture of maxblue is robust with implementation of SPF and a strict DMARC policy set to reject, reducing email spoofing risks. The SSL configuration uses strong ciphers and TLS 1.2 protocol, with no detected vulnerabilities such as Heartbleed or FREAK. However, the absence of HSTS and OCSP stapling, as well as lack of TLS 1.3 support, represent areas for improvement. Session resumption is not enabled, which may impact performance but not directly security. No explicit security policy or incident response information is found on the site. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms are in place, indicating compliance with GDPR. Overall, the site maintains a good security baseline but could enhance its security posture by adopting additional best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload to enforce HTTPS and prevent downgrade attacks.
  2. Implement OCSP stapling to improve SSL certificate revocation checking and reduce latency.
  3. Upgrade to support TLS 1.3 for enhanced security and performance benefits.
  4. Enable session resumption via tickets or cache to improve user experience without compromising security.
  5. Publish a security.txt file to provide clear vulnerability disclosure guidelines and improve security transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) CMS with Angular 10.2.5 framework, utilizing Adobe Launch for tag management and analytics. It uses modern front-end technologies including ES6 modules, Highcharts for data visualization, and Fontello for icons. The site is hosted on Deutsche Bank's infrastructure with dedicated DNS and mail servers. Performance metrics indicate a slow load time (~14 seconds) with a large page size (~1MB) and many resources (140), suggesting potential optimization opportunities. Mobile optimization and accessibility are rated good, with responsive design and ARIA landmarks. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph, and structured data. Overall, the technical stack is mature but could benefit from performance tuning and modern protocol support.
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.
