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. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

    • 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';…

  2. 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

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

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

Signet Bank operates in the finance sector, targeting private individuals and businesses in Latvia. It leverages a business model focused on private banking, investment services, and capital market facilitation. The bank's competitive advantage lies in its leadership in bond issuance and capital market financing for Latvian companies. The website reflects a medium-sized enterprise with consistent branding and professional content. Partnerships include capital market analytics and internet banking services. The bank's growth indicators include significant assets under management and financing volumes. The digital presence is mature but could improve privacy and security disclosures to enhance trust further.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and domain registration locked against unauthorized changes. The absence of DNSSEC is a minor vulnerability that could be addressed to improve DNS security. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The site uses consent mechanisms for cookies, defaulting to deny ad and analytics storage, indicating privacy awareness. However, the lack of explicit privacy policy, cookie policy, and incident response information represents compliance and transparency gaps. No visible security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy reduces the site's readiness for coordinated vulnerability reporting. Overall, the security posture is solid but can be enhanced by publishing comprehensive policies and enabling DNSSEC.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page detailing data collection, processing, and user rights.
  3. Add a clear cookie policy page and improve consent mechanisms to comply fully with GDPR.
  4. Implement and publish a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web attacks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.2 with the Yoast SEO plugin, indicating a modern CMS with SEO capabilities. It uses Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for tracking and marketing analytics, with scripts loaded asynchronously to optimize performance. The site employs Swiper.js for interactive sliders and Cloudflare for DNS services, suggesting a reliable hosting and content delivery setup. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. The site includes proper meta tags, Open Graph tags, and JSON-LD structured data for SEO and social media integration. Technical debt is low, but improvements in security headers and DNSSEC would enhance the technical robustness. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and functional banking website.
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.
