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

Kearney is a global management consulting firm providing advisory services across a broad range of industries including aerospace, automotive, consumer retail, communications, energy, financial services, healthcare, and technology. The company positions itself as a trusted advisor helping clients achieve immediate impact and sustainable advantage. The website reflects a mature digital presence built on the Liferay CMS platform with React components, offering a professional and well-structured user experience. Privacy compliance is evidenced by a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism and a detailed cookie policy page. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and a Content-Security-Policy header, although additional security headers and explicit incident response policies are absent. The absence of WHOIS data is a notable anomaly but does not detract significantly from the overall legitimacy given the professional website and branding. Overall, the site demonstrates a high level of digital maturity and business credibility suitable for an enterprise consulting firm.

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. 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 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Kearney operates as an essential entity in the management consulting sector, targeting large enterprises and organizations globally. Its diversified service offerings span digital analytics, mergers and acquisitions, operations, sustainability, and strategic growth, supported by specialized impact networks. The firm leverages a modern web infrastructure and maintains consistent branding and trust signals. The lack of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a preference for controlled contact via forms, typical for large consultancies. The company’s market position is strong, with a comprehensive industry focus and a professional online presence. No direct parent or subsidiary relationships were identified from the website content.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and implements a Content-Security-Policy header, indicating a baseline security posture. The presence of a cookie consent mechanism aligns with GDPR compliance. However, the absence of additional security headers such as HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents an area for improvement. No security or incident response policies are published, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The security score is good but could be enhanced by adopting more comprehensive security best practices and transparency around incident response.

Recommendations

  1. Implement additional security headers including HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen security posture.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Provide explicit contact information for security incidents to enhance trust and responsiveness.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Liferay CMS platform with React and YUI JavaScript libraries, indicating a hybrid modern and legacy technology stack. Google Tag Manager and Osano are used for analytics and consent management respectively. The site is mobile optimized with good accessibility and SEO practices. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. The technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable digital presence suitable for an enterprise consulting firm. No critical technical debt or risks were identified, but modernization opportunities exist by reducing legacy dependencies and enhancing performance.
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.
