Medium risk. 3 critical or high findings in SSL/TLS and GDPR outside view.

Security score

66/100

Risk levelMedium

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

AhnLab, Inc. is a well-established cybersecurity company with over 30 years of experience, specializing in integrated security platforms that cover endpoint, network, cloud, CPS, and security operations. The company targets enterprises and SMBs globally, offering AI-powered security solutions and recognized by industry awards such as AV-TEST and Gartner Peer Insights. The website reflects a mature digital presence with modern technologies and comprehensive content. However, the WHOIS data is missing or inaccessible, which raises concerns about domain transparency despite the professional appearance and strong branding. Security posture is robust with HTTPS, security headers, and secure forms, but privacy compliance could be improved by implementing cookie consent mechanisms and publishing incident response information. Overall, the site demonstrates a high level of professionalism and trustworthiness, though domain registration inconsistencies warrant caution.

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. 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

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

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

AhnLab holds a strong market position in the cybersecurity industry, particularly in Korea, with a growing global footprint. Its business model focuses on B2B integrated security solutions and managed security services. The company leverages AI and machine learning to enhance threat detection and response capabilities. Partnerships and subsidiary domains such as ASEC and MyCompany support its ecosystem. The company’s offerings address critical sectors including technology, energy, and transportation. The website content and structure indicate a focus on enterprise customers and digital business innovation. The absence of direct contact emails and phone numbers on the main site suggests a controlled communication approach, likely via contact forms and partner channels.

Security posture

The website employs strong security best practices including HTTPS enforcement and multiple security headers. There is no evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries. Forms appear secure and the site uses reputable third-party services like Google Analytics and Zendesk for support. However, the lack of a published security incident response page and vulnerability disclosure policy limits transparency. GDPR compliance is partially addressed through a comprehensive privacy policy, but the absence of a cookie consent banner is a gap. The missing WHOIS data reduces trust in domain legitimacy, which is a security concern. Overall, the security posture is strong but could benefit from enhanced transparency and compliance features.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a visible cookie consent banner to improve GDPR compliance and user transparency.
  2. Publish a dedicated security incident response page with contact channels for reporting incidents.
  3. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Provide explicit contact information for the Data Protection Officer or privacy team to enhance trust.
  5. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data issue to improve domain registration transparency and legitimacy.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including React and Next.js, ensuring good performance and mobile optimization. It integrates analytics and customer support tools such as Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Zendesk. The site structure is well-organized with clear navigation and multilingual support. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or framework-based implementation. Hosting provider details are not evident from the HTML content. The site loads quickly and includes accessibility features such as skip navigation links and ARIA labels. Technical risks are minimal, but the absence of visible cookie consent and incomplete WHOIS data represent areas for improvement.
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.
