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

Akari Networks is a telecommunications company operating a global IP backbone network with direct connections to Tier 1 and Tier 2 transit providers and regional ISPs. They provide IP transit, hosting, and network operation services primarily targeting businesses and institutions requiring reliable and high-performance network connectivity. The company emphasizes quality, performance, and professional customer support. Technically, the website is built on modern frameworks such as Next.js and uses Cloudflare for DNS and CDN services, ensuring good performance and mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and Cloudflare DNS, but lacks advanced security headers and published security policies. Privacy compliance is weak due to absence of privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the domain registration is consistent and legitimate, supporting the business credibility. Recommendations include improving privacy compliance, adding security headers, and publishing incident response information to enhance trust and security posture.

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

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

Akari Networks positions itself as a niche telecommunications provider with a focus on global IP transit and hosting services. Their competitive advantage lies in direct peering with multiple Tier 1/2 providers and regional ISPs, enabling low latency and high-speed connectivity. The business model revolves around providing network infrastructure and managed services to institutional clients. The website content and structure indicate a small-sized company with professional service offerings. The presence of a partner domain (akari.fail) suggests an extended ecosystem. Growth indicators include emphasis on rapid service delivery and professional support. The company targets enterprises and organizations requiring robust network services in the Asia-Pacific region, particularly Hong Kong.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and Cloudflare DNS usage. However, it lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which are important for mitigating common web attacks. No explicit security policies or incident response contacts are published, which limits transparency and preparedness perception. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. GDPR compliance is not clearly addressed, and no cookie consent mechanism is present. The absence of DNSSEC is a minor security gap. Overall, the security posture is functional but could be significantly improved by adopting best practices and publishing relevant policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance web security.
  3. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to improve DNS security.
  4. Publish an incident response policy and provide dedicated security contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ emails.
  5. Regularly audit and update the technology stack and dependencies to avoid vulnerabilities and maintain performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Next.js, a modern React framework, indicating a contemporary and maintainable codebase. It leverages Cloudflare for DNS and CDN, contributing to fast load times and global availability. The site is mobile optimized and uses asynchronous JavaScript loading for performance. However, no CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or static site approach. SEO is basic with standard meta tags but lacks advanced structured data or Open Graph tags. Accessibility features are minimal but present. The absence of security headers and privacy policies indicates technical debt in security and compliance areas. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but can benefit from enhancements in security and privacy implementations.
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.
