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

4 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. 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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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 holds a leading position in the Georgian financial market and is rapidly expanding its digital banking ecosystem in Central Asia, particularly Uzbekistan. Its business model is diversified across multiple financial sectors, leveraging subsidiaries to cover banking, insurance, leasing, capital markets, and payment services. The presence of investor relations content and ESG reporting indicates a focus on transparency and sustainability, appealing to institutional investors and stakeholders. The group’s partnerships and subsidiaries form a cohesive ecosystem supporting growth and innovation. The website content and structure support clear communication of business strengths and market opportunities, reinforcing credibility and investor confidence.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses secure cookies to protect session and transaction integrity. A comprehensive cookie consent mechanism aligns with privacy regulations, enhancing user trust. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents a gap in security transparency. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. Security headers appear to be missing or minimal, which could be improved to mitigate common web threats. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from enhanced transparency and technical controls to align with best practices and regulatory expectations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen web security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  4. Introduce a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Enhance accessibility compliance to improve usability for all users and meet regulatory standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a stable and widely supported JavaScript stack primarily using jQuery and related plugins. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing integration. Hosting on AWS DNS infrastructure suggests reliable and scalable backend support. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design elements and includes a cookie consent framework for privacy compliance. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected, though there is potential for modernization by adopting newer frameworks or optimizing assets. The absence of a detected CMS suggests a custom or proprietary platform. Overall, the technical implementation supports the business needs but could be enhanced with modern frameworks and improved accessibility features.
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.
