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

Erste Digital GmbH is the digital and IT service provider arm of Erste Group, the largest banking group in Central and Eastern Europe. The company focuses on delivering IT solutions and digital transformation services to Erste Group entities across the CEE region, supporting both operational banking and innovation initiatives. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand aligned with Erste Group, targeting banking customers and IT professionals. Technically, the site uses a proprietary CMS framework (GEM) and modern JavaScript technologies but suffers from slow load times and lacks a valid SSL certificate, resulting in no HTTPS support. Security posture is weak due to missing HTTPS and security headers, which poses a critical risk. Privacy and cookie policies are present and GDPR compliant, indicating good privacy compliance. Overall, the website is credible and trustworthy from a business perspective but requires urgent security improvements to protect user data and enhance trust.

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

7 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

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  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

  3. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

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

The company operates as a subsidiary IT service provider within the banking sector, leveraging Erste Group's market position in Central and Eastern Europe. Its business model centers on providing both 'run the bank' and 'change the bank' IT services, indicating a dual focus on stability and innovation. The website content and structure emphasize the company's role as a digital muscle for Erste Group, targeting both internal stakeholders and potential employees. The presence of career pages and service descriptions suggests active recruitment and service marketing. The domain age and registration data support a mature and stable business presence. Partnerships appear limited to Erste Group and related entities, with no suspicious or unrelated domains detected.

Security posture

The current security posture is weak due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of HTTPS support, which is a critical vulnerability for any modern website, especially one associated with banking services. No security headers such as HSTS, Content-Security-Policy, or X-Frame-Options are present, increasing exposure to common web attacks. The site does not implement OCSP stapling or session resumption, further limiting security and performance. No explicit incident response or security policy pages were found, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present. While privacy policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, the lack of HTTPS undermines user data protection. Immediate remediation is required to secure the site and protect visitors.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Configure and enable security headers including HSTS, Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Optimize website performance to reduce load times, including resource minification and caching strategies.
  4. Publish explicit security policies and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting and improve security posture.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a proprietary CMS framework (GEM) with extensive use of JavaScript modules and video content. Hosting appears to be managed by Erste Group's CDN infrastructure. Despite modern frontend technologies, the site suffers from slow load times (over 18 seconds) and a large page size (~397 KB). Accessibility and SEO optimizations are present and well-implemented, including meta tags, Open Graph, and Twitter cards. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design and font preloading. However, the lack of HTTPS and security headers represents a significant technical debt and risk. The DNS configuration is stable with multiple authoritative name servers and strong domain protection statuses. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports business needs but requires urgent security upgrades and performance tuning.
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.
