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

RIB Banka is a Latvian financial institution offering a broad range of banking services tailored to both companies and private individuals. The bank emphasizes a modern, professional approach with flexible financial solutions, including accounts, loans, payments, deposits, and industry-specific financing. The website reflects a mature digital presence with clear navigation, accessibility features, and customer testimonials, positioning the bank as a trusted partner in the Latvian market. Technically, the website leverages Cloudflare for DNS and CDN services, uses modern JavaScript libraries like Flickity for UI components, and integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics. The site is mobile-optimized and includes an advanced accessibility widget supporting multiple languages, contrast modes, and font size adjustments, demonstrating a commitment to inclusive design. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, employs domain status locks to prevent unauthorized changes, and includes cookie consent mechanisms that deny ad personalization by default. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and there is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which are areas for improvement. Overall, the website presents a professional, secure, and user-friendly interface suitable for a financial institution. Strategic enhancements in DNS security, incident response transparency, and security header implementation would further strengthen the bank's security posture and trustworthiness.

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

3 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, LinkedIn, Cloudflare

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

  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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

RIB Banka operates in the Latvian banking sector, targeting corporate clients and private individuals with specialized financial products tailored to various industries such as forestry, metal processing, food industry, agriculture, and pharmaceuticals. The bank's business model focuses on providing flexible financing solutions, including investment loans, trade financing, and deposit services. Testimonials and detailed service descriptions indicate a customer-centric approach and a stable market position. The bank's digital presence supports multilingual access and accessibility, indicating a broad and inclusive target audience. The domain age and registration data support the bank's established market presence since 2010.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, domain status protections, and a cookie consent mechanism that restricts ad tracking by default. The use of Cloudflare provides additional security and performance benefits. However, the absence of DNSSEC and lack of published incident response contacts or vulnerability disclosure policies represent gaps in the security framework. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The accessibility widget's control over animations and images also reflects attention to user security and privacy preferences. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from enhanced DNS security and transparency in incident handling.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve DNS security.
  2. Publish an incident response contact or a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability reporting.
  3. Implement additional security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to prevent vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency by providing explicit information about security certifications and data protection officers.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including Cloudflare for DNS and CDN, Flickity for carousel UI components, and Google Tag Manager for analytics. The HTML and CSS are valid and support responsive design, ensuring good mobile optimization. Accessibility is a strong focus, with a comprehensive widget allowing users to adjust font size, contrast, language, and image visibility. Performance is moderate, likely benefiting from CDN caching but could be improved with further optimization. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. The site uses deferred JavaScript loading and includes meta viewport tags for mobile responsiveness. Overall, the technical implementation is robust with room for performance tuning and enhanced security header usage.
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.
