0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

OeKB Gruppe is a central financial service provider based in Austria, supporting the Austrian economy with a broad range of services including export financing, capital market services, energy market services, development financing, and tourism services. The website presents a professional and comprehensive overview of their offerings, targeting Austrian businesses, investors, and financial institutions. The company holds a strong market position as a key financial institution in Austria. Technically, the website uses a custom CMS with JavaScript and Bootstrap frameworks, but suffers from slow load times and lacks modern security configurations such as a valid SSL certificate and TLS protocols. Mobile optimization and SEO are good, but accessibility is basic. The website lacks cookie consent mechanisms and some security best practices. Security posture is weak due to the absence of HTTPS, no security headers, and missing email authentication records like DMARC. DNSSEC is disabled and CAA records are malformed. These issues pose significant risks to user data confidentiality and trust. Overall, the website is content-rich and professionally designed but requires urgent security improvements to protect users and comply with modern standards. Strategic recommendations include implementing HTTPS, enabling security headers, and adding privacy and cookie consent mechanisms.

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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

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

OeKB operates as an essential financial institution in Austria, providing export and capital market services among others. Their business model focuses on supporting Austrian companies in international trade and financing. The website reflects a mature organization with a large size and a clear sector focus on finance and energy. The company maintains a strong partnership ecosystem, including related domains like oekb-csd.at and my.oekb.at. Growth indicators include active news, events, and ESG data hub initiatives. The company targets corporate clients, banks, and investors, emphasizing trust and regulatory compliance.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is low due to critical issues such as the lack of a valid SSL certificate and absence of HTTPS, which is a major vulnerability. The website also lacks security headers, HSTS, OCSP stapling, and proper DNS security configurations. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are visible. GDPR compliance is partially indicated through a privacy policy, but cookie consent is missing. These gaps expose the business to risks including data interception, phishing, and reputational damage. Immediate remediation is necessary to improve security culture and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and maintain a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Configure and enable security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS with preload.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with GDPR and inform users about cookie usage.
  4. Publish clear security and incident response policies including contact channels for abuse and vulnerabilities.
  5. Correct DNS configurations including proper CAA records and add DMARC to protect email domains.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a custom CMS platform using JavaScript and Bootstrap for responsive design. While the content is rich and navigation is clear, the site suffers from slow loading times (8.8 seconds) and lacks modern security protocols. The DNS setup uses external nameservers (rcode0.net) and mail servers under oekb.co.at. No DNSSEC is enabled, and CAA records are malformed. The absence of HTTPS and TLS protocols is a critical technical debt. Mobile optimization is good, but accessibility features are minimal. SEO is well addressed with meta tags and Open Graph data.
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.
